“Shootouts, porno theaters, and a police strike ripped straight out of ROBOCOP.” — Kenny Hedges, LETTERBOXD
It’s Christmas in Canada and all is not what it seems. Twenty-five years ago, the CIA administered mind-altering drugs to induce humans to commit horrendous crimes — and then erase their memory. Now, it’s up to hard-boiled cop Kellen (Michael Ironside, SCANNERS) and his girlfriend Sarah (Lisa Langlois, CLASS OF 1984) to track down the trail of the experiments. And save themselves. A combination of MKULTRA-styled paranoia and sci-fi bliss, MINDFIELD is an unseen gem from Canada’s rich genre history.
