Yeah. I always forget about the existence of that movie and so do most lists of his movies. I haven't seen anything pre-Shivers either.
EDIT: I think the plot of Scanners is just lacking, it feels like someone else wrote it and it feels like an anomaly with his other movies at the time. It just seems a lot clumsier in terms of his usual themes of technology vs flesh and bodily decay. And yes, the lead actor is absolutely horrible, though several people have tried to make the argument that "that's exactly how his performance should be cause the character is a stunted manchild who has no idea how to interact!" While the character IS like that, the lead actor really reminds me of nothing so much as the voice actors on the original Silent Hill video game. So, so bad. I do agree the score is good.
