In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Scanners (1981)
A science fiction directed by David Cronenberg.
A homeless man is captured by government-looking guys and finds out that he is a "scanner" and can link his nervous system with other people's from across a room. He is sent to track down an evil scanner and finds the help of other good scanners along the way.
The characters were identifiable and the plot was easy to follow. There wasn't too much action, but it kept me interested. The style was lacking, probably because of the date. I'm rating it o.k.
