Summary: GREAT Movie
Review: BrainScan is a great (and very sadly underrated) movie that is definitely one of the better horror films of the 1990s. It has a good and strong plot, as well as great effects, top-notch acting, great soundtrack, and Trickster is a very cool and funny Villain. For those of you who seek Gore, you'll be very surprised at how gory this film is. Very entertaining with a lot of replay value as well. Hopefully this film will be on DVD soon and will get a good treatment.

Summary: Best movie of 1994
Review: BrainScan was by far the best movie released in 1994. The character played by Edward Furlong is a teenaged boy having difficulty adjusting to the death of his mother. Along with the average problems of being a teenager Furlong's character would rather be behind a computer playing games than out at the local teen hang out. As a senior in highschool when this movie was released I was able to connect with the Furlong character on a personal level. This connection that I was able to make along with the quality of acting and directing made BrainScan number two on my list of best movies of all time. If anyone cares my number one of all time is Hackers. Another movie I was able to connect with due to the computer influence, as a IT profesional computer movies rank high on my list.

Summary: Doesn't have to be great!
Review: Let me make that very clear. Not everything we put in front of our eyes has to lace up and wear an neck tie to work. Sometimes it's ok to be lowbrow. I mean, JACKASS has a legion of followers, and the show does nothing more than devalue our sensibilities. With Brainscan, we have a minor production about a boy whose reality is eschewed by a video game. It's over the top, and silly, but it's so much damned fun. I think it's a great movie for what it is. It's not Braveheart or Mystic River, but that fact shouldn't lessen the entertainment value of this cheesy horror film. If you've purchased this flick on a whim, fear not, you will have a good time. This is the type of movie where you can sit back with a snack, a loved one under you arm, and your feet on the coffee table. A good movie that doesn't have to be great. Enjoy.

Summary: braindead in the head,but the technolgy is cool 1 1/2 stars
Review: brainscan is an interesting film of sorts. it offers a virtual reality setting, and some great special effects. but thats it. the plot revolves around an horror obsessed teen(edward furlong) long before he became widely known as the future resistance leader in james cameron;s t2, who loves horror,is president of the horror club in school, he has a best friend kyle, and he amires the girl(amy hargreaves) next door to him. hes all alone, in a nice big house. his father is on a business trip,and things are just getting interesting for furlong, as he gets plunged into a videogame, that he found while browsing a video magazine. its called of all things,brainscan, and offers the player limitless possibiltiesles of what the player will pursue, will you be an investigator,doctor, dentist or something more purely evil?.
what brainscan developed for its time in 1994 was a chance to offer a wide broad of possibilties and to show off his great technolgy of effects, before computer animation was even achievied. and for that is interesting. while it sure lacks a few things in the horror area a bit, it does offer the viewers a chance to become whatever they want in life,although actually not becoming it. as in this case ,furlong is chosen to be a murderer. what will he do, how will he do it, and will he survive?
brainscan offers alot of possiabilties, but in the end, is a fun movie,but,atlas, not a great film. the plot is ok,but thers not enough punched to actually tell something more. is more of a visual effts film, with that being said,enjoy it for what it is. it was cutting edge when i first saw it back, in 1994,but the basis of plot is not to be taken serious. its a horror film,but a fun horror movie at that. although I can said I would recommend this film, right out. it does have its moments to it. a nice scenery, a beautiful next door neighbor, but my rating then on what i give it still stands,on what i gave it.its not a really bad film, but more as a misguided one.and for that, i leave to the viewer to chose.

Summary: Welcome to the interactive trip to hell
Review: When Michael(Edward Furlong)orders the latest ineractive videogame called Brainscan,the high-tech game penetrates his subconscious where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly game of murder,decption and desire.Michael just thinks it's part of the game but when dead bodies start showing up,Michael doesn't know if it's real or not and being prodded by the trickster(T.Ryder Smith),Michael is torn between the world of good and evil,reality and fantasy and of life and death.Brainscan is a totally cool and different kind of horror picture where even watching the film the viewer can't tell what's fantasy and what's reality.Finally after acouple of years of waiting,Brainscan came out on DVD and it's a sweet DVD to own.
