10 Horror Movies That Would Have Made Better TV Shows

10. Scanners

David Cronenberg's literal mind-blowing classic centres around a group of people called scanners who have developed telekinetic and telepathic powers. One scanner, Vale, is hired by a military company to eliminate a psychic called Revok who intends to use his power to rule the world.

Even though a TV series was being developed in 2011, it was scrapped. BRON Studios announced another television adaptation in 2017, but little has been mentioned about it since. It's a shame that studios are having trouble adapting Cronenberg's work, since it has so much potential.

For a television show, we could see Vale and other scanners being hired to take down a different rogue psychic every episode. Because scanners can't always control their powers, Vale has to accept the fact that the chances of him or one of his co-workers going rogue is a realistic possibility. With a big budget, it would be awesome to see scanners hurling cars at one another with their minds, bursting heads with a thought, or initiating a psychic war against humanity.

Considering Cronenberg hasn't directed a film in seven years, having him return to the limelight to adapt the story that launched his career would be incredible.
