Leave your thoughts about Brainscan.
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonBrainscan' works with a true phenomenon: the total immersion of young minds in the most gruesome horror movies. |
| Brooklyn MagazineHenry StewartThe hero, Michael, says horror is just escape, but the movie doesn't agree with him, pinning violence and its moral responsibility on him when all he wants to do is watch. |
| User ReviewDavid TUnusual & oddly addictive. I keep watching it every few years ever since it came out. |
| User ReviewA. Nlove this! Trixter rules! and the music is amazing!! |
| User Review.JuS?iNe. CI SOOOOOOOOOO LOve IT IS AWSOME GREAT ACTORS, GREAT STORY ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES A SHOKING END I DIN'T SEE THAT COMING AND I LOVE BIG PART OF THE MOVIES WITH EDWARD FURLONG BY THE WAY THAT Trickster WAS SO UGLY EWWW. the only bad thing about this movie R THE bad special effects that totally suck BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AWSOME. |
| User ReviewD MOne of the most underrated movies ever. And Roger Ebert is a cocksucker.... |
| User ReviewPaul DVery nice teenage hi-tec sci-fi lite-horror movie with a distinctive 90s feel, neat special effects (which look damn good for 1994) and a killer grunge/alternative soundtrack that plays along the whole movie. Script is written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, 8mm, Sleepy Hollow) and as all of his works, it's first-class. Recommended to those who want to plunge into that 90s atmosphere for 1,5 hours and feel what it was like to listen to White Zombie, wear ripped jeans with flannel shirts to school and play videogames on CD. For this purpose, this cult classic is really effin' good. |
| User ReviewZechariah SA crazy scif horror comedy ride from start to end great popcorn Flick. |
| User ReviewZach M"Brainscan" is an interesting sci-fi/horror film. Unique story, tense atmosphere, & fair acting makes this film one-of-a-kind for certain horror fans. Nice soundtrack featuring heavy metal/grunge/rock bands & the main character's bedroom is rad! |
| User ReviewTom Hthis was a good movie i first saw it back in high school also i threw my back out that night i saw it don't ask |
