Brainscan Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
jamesnz-97160 Great movie with cool characters you can like. Technology used still holds up in todays world. In fact I still want a room like that! Effects work well and sound is awesome. Very unique movie.
capone666 BrainscanThe upside to murdering someone online is not having to clean up all that blood afterwards.Unfortunately, for the player in this horror movie, his victims are appearing in reality.A homebody since an accident, Michael (Edward Furlong) has become a skilled gamer eager for new challenges, which he finds in a hyper-realistic mail-order game.Egged on by the games master Trickster (T. Ryder Smith), Michael starts slaying online characters only to discover the same killings have occurred in his neighbourhood.Stranger still, Trickster has escaped the game and is ordering him to kill the girl-next-door (Amy Hargreaves).While the first person perception of the game play was ahead of its time for 1994, any prescience or innovation within this thriller is irreparably damaged by the inclusion of the irritating Trickster character.Furthermore, if video game victims started materializing there would be a ton of decapitated martial artists lying around.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
Dom Nickson Spoiler Alert!!! With the exception of Edward Furlong this film really doesn't have too many big names. I mean I don't even know anybody else. For being a bunch of no names I thought all of the other actors did a decent job at portraying their roles. I think Edward was a bit awkward at times I mean when he's spying on his love interest he doesn't even look like he's interested in what he's doing. Half of the time it looks like he's bored and uninterested in being in this film. I don't know if that's the purpose of his character but man he really looks depressed. Anyway this movie doesn't have a lot of gore and it didn't need to because the story is very unique and original. I don't think I've ever seen a slasher movie where a character is forced against his will to murder a bunch of people. This movie is pretty interesting and there's so much to say about it but check it out for yourself. I give it a 7 out of 10 because it's so interesting and fresh.
couchfry-2 Did you ever have that dream where you woke up but the bad or weird thing continued to exist in real life? And then you REALLY woke up? Or did you? If so, you'll love this film. I'm not easily surprised but this movie fooled me more than once. The actors are charismatic. The scary guy has this great punk look and what has to be a naturally evil face. Stop reading here if you haven't seen it. The new video game Brainscan comes out and this young horror movie fan tries it. Soon he imagines cutting off someone's foot. Imagine his horror at finding a human foot in his fridge the next day. Then he comes back to reality. Or does he? There's a great scene at the end when he hands the game disk to the high school principle who banned his horror movie club. A refreshing change; this horror film is actually scary and suspenseful.
