Brainscan

This movie is wicked. This movie is funny. And it is certainly wickedly funny. It will also change the way many people who watch it look at the world. It delivers in every facet of movie making. Each of the main characters owns his role so thoroughly that the viewer can't imagine anyone else doing it. The cinematography is lush, the sound is riveting, and the pacing is so tense it's almost painful. It is everything good that this sort of surrealist phantasy usually isn't. It is mind-blowingly weird, yet each step of the plot follows step like an equation. No character is a one-dimensional cartoon. Frank Langella manages to be ominous and sympathetic. Edward Furlong does the alienated teen bit but with a moral sense rare for that kind of part. There are even scenes which are painfully gruesome to watch which yet leave the viewer chuckling when the movie is over in the same way that a really improbable punch line makes a joke memorable. Nobody will think the money nor the time spent watching wasted.

•Blu-Ray looks & sounds great• Shout! Factory delivers again with the special features. Exactly as described & arrived on time.

I like this movie Blu-Ray DVD quality was great

Great

I remembered I bought this on VHS, twenty-seven years ago. Years later it came out on DVD with movie and trailer. With no special features. But when Shout! Factory let this came out on Blu-Ray with movie and special features And great picture and sound. I had to buy it. Great performances and roles by Edward Furlong, Frank Langella and the rest of them Trickster says some hilarious stuff. "It doesn't have to make sense. All these horror films you watch. Does death death death make sense, no its not about sense, it's about dead dead dead! And there are plenty. Trust me. If you're definitely a horror fan, you want this. I recommend it.

I love obscure movies like this that many people have forgotten about. I remember seeing it when it first came out. I know many want to say things about the technology in this movie & that it doesn’t work like that. First off, that technology was fairly new at the time of release, at least in the public realm. I would think many people didn’t really know how the technology worked then & many laypeople such as myself STILL have no actual idea how the technology actually works & I don’t 100% care if a movie gets details completely right. All entertainment requires some suspension of belief in order to enjoy it. Those who can’t do that are often complaining about all kinds of movies & tv shows because they spent so much time picking it apart that they didn’t actually enjoy it. I personally think exploring the “what ifs” of a new technology is interesting, even if the “what ifs” are highly unlikely or even impossible. It’s just a movie, people! First disc had to be returned because it blacked out in one scene. New disc did not have any issues, although when I got the new disc, I noticed something I did see on another review. The reflective part of the disc is purple, like a burned disc. Nothing else seems that way other than the color. Weird.

The town arrived fast and in good condition.

Glad I bought this because it's the first time watching this for me and I loved it!!! A lot of re-watch ability, Extremely like-able characters. This movie is like (Nickelodeon's) "Are you afraid of the dark- on steroids" with gore! The music is fantastic too! I really wish it had a proper release with a slip and more attention towards the packaging but the cover art is good. Quality transfer, a lot of vivid purple lighting in this movie.

Definitivamente buena comprar, es difícil de conseguir aquí en México, lo único que puedo comentar para que los compradores tengan cuidado, es el hecho de que no contiene subtítulos al español, es más, no contiene menú ni siquiera. No me arrepiento de la compra.

The blu ray doesn't work on my multi region player. Amazon and the seller have not returned my enquiries for a replacement or refund. Very disappointing.

1994!! und dann dieses Klasse Bild!! Brainscan (1994) Super klasse Film natürlich für Genre fans ein muss, für alle anderen die mal den etwas anderen Horror schauen wollen ist das ein guter film! Diese Fassung ist Uncut! (ich Persönlich mag diesen Film sehr, habe lange gesucht bis ich ihn auf dvd gefunden habe) Der Teenager Michael (Edward Furlong) ist meistens allein zu Haus und verbringt seine Zeit mit Videospielen und Horrorfilmen, weswegen er auch in der Schule nicht unbedingt hochgeachtet ist, da er dort den Filmclub leitet. Eines Tages erhält er ein Videospiel names Brainscan zugeschickt, in welchem man interaktiv Morde begehen kann. Doch das Spiel hat auch eine dunkle Seite, denn aus ihm entsteigt der Trickster, ein bösartiges Geschöpf, und schon bald werden die Morde real...

Un guión que te hace pensar desde el minuto uno, actores en estado de gracia, una puesta en escena al nivel de Doctor Zhivago. Se debería proyectar en las escuelas de cine como ejemplo de cómo acabar una buena historia. Edward Furlong no se ha visto en otro papel como este. La edición es lo que es, no hay otra en español así que si te gusta este mondongo como a mi te toca pillártela.

So this movie is a very crazy Slasher/Fantasy that has great atmosphere characters and story. Its a great 90s horror movie. I couldn't get this in the UK so ordered it from spain as it has the English Dub included. It was shipped in one day and it has a note on a sticker that said it includes english language. Great Service from these guys. A fantastic film.
