This movie was alright. I kinda grew up with it and I loved it as a kid so it's hard for to rate it badly. After just watching it again I 100% believe I would have given this a 4/5 if it wasn't for that lame ass character Trickster. He ruins the whole movie by adding his "comedy" to it and dancing around. Plus I can't stand his voice. I remember having a massive crush on the character Kimberly. Sh... read more

Movies I Watched in May 2021 (33 movies items)

" Date: 5/6/2021 Viewed: Blu-ray First Viewing Note: I remember seeing VHS copies of Brainscan when I would go to Blockbuster and other video stores when I was a kid, but I never had the opportunity to watch it. Better late than never, I finally watched it on Blu-ray (The double-feature edition with Mindwarp) and it was not bad. Brainscan is a decent horror movie in my opinion. I really like the aesthetics because Brainscan is a time capsule of the early-mid 90s. You have outdated technology,"

"Horror movies and computer games fascinate teenager Michael and a CD-ROM that portrays murder from the killer's point of view combines these interests. The first time Michael plays it, he kills a stranger and cuts off a foot, thinking the events take place in virtual reality. But the next day Michael finds a foot in his refrigerator, and cyber-ghoul Trickster emerges from the program and forces him to keep playing and to continue committing violent crimes. The plot of this movie in which fantas"

"13.1, PC Edward Furlongin esittämä poika pelailee Virtual reality-tyylistä peliä, jossa pääsee tappamaan ihmisiä. Tätä ajatusta on hyödynnetty ihan hyvin, kun taloon hiippailu kuvataan tappajan näkökulmasta samaan tyyliin, kuin Carpenterin Halloweenin alkukohtauksessa. Muistaakseni tällaisia kohtauksia ei kuitenkaan useampaa ollut. En tiedä yrittääkö tämä edes olla kauhuelokuva, vai jotain etäistä kauhun ja komedian mikstuuraa. Aika ajoin meno on kuitenkin sopivan viihdytt"
