User review:
‘Brainscan’ is a true 90’s horror classic. The film has a unique premise, and an ending you won’t see coming from a mile away.
Ok, so the film is about a gaming fanatic, Michael (Edward Furlong) who boasts about having played every game out there. Through his friend Kyle, he is introduced to a brand new, super interactive game called ‘Brainscan’. And it literally means just that: it scans your brain and incorporates your subconscious mind into the game. Things soon get much, much more complicated than this, though (for Michael).
Furlong is very good as Michael, but the best performance by far, was T. Ryder Smith as The Trickster. He defines the character. The film’s make-up and visual effects are also very good, keeping in mind CGI wasn’t a big thing back then. (CGI was only really prominently used in films after the success of ‘Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring).
‘Brainscan’ is fast-paced and captivating, keeping the viewer glued to the screen. The film sucks you in as Michael’s world spirals out of control. There never really is a dull moment. This is a very clever script. On the downside, the film’s lighting isn’t very good, resulting in a film that is very dark – even during daytime. Nevertheless, ‘Brainscan’ is an interesting watch with a great reveal.
