Baelzar t @Baelzar Feb 16 This movie is worth it for the character of Trickster alone. What a fantastic performance. The rest is just frosting on the cake. See more David S. @baxter667 Jan 8 One of those rare nineties horror films that hold up today, this surprisingly good horror film, is still relevant all these years later. It still looks great, the storyline is decent, and there is a good male lead and there is a predictable, but decent twist, it's fun, exciting and not overly long, a film not for everyone, but if you like this kind of film, there are worse movies out there, and this is not one of these. Four stars all the way. See more Jacob M @RT76517086 Jul 6 It's an interesting horror mark of 90s teenage culture. Though at times nothing more than an rated R Goosebumps episode. It's still highly entertaining. See more Daddy T @RT34932010 Jun 25 It's honestly terrible but in the best way. There are genuine genius moments throughout that only become obvious after multiple viewings. The only negative is the stinger ending that makes absolutely no sense. Definitely worth a watch at least once. See more Dominic I. @Giomeeseeks Jun 23 This film is better than most people say it is. Furlong gives a good performance as this lonely depressed teenager, Frank Langella does a good job playing an intimidating detective, Amy Hargreaves does her thing just fine, and T. Ryder Smith is easily the best part of the movie with his charming and creepy performance as the Trickster. The plot is decent although the “It was all a dream” ending is really cheesy and lame and the science of the game should’ve been explored a little more. The soundtrack is nice and the whole movie has this very edgy 90s metal grunge vibe. It may be dated but I love it. Very nice. But this film is at least a 7/10 if not more. See more SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch May 15 "Brain Scan" is a horror film from 1994 that features a character known as the Trickster, who ensnares viewers into a deadly game where they commit acts of murder while seemingly asleep, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. In my opinion, this film has not aged well and failed to win me over as a new fan. It feels like one of those forgotten movies that will remain obscure due to its cheesy and tacky execution. It seems like an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the actor from "Terminator," and little more. In the end, "Brain Scan" comes across as poorly written and lacking depth. The Trickster character, rather than being eerie or frightening, is simply bizarre. It's one of those 90s films that leaves you thinking, "Well, they tried." See more Read all reviews
