Jacob M 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Dominic I. 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review SkyRo P "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." Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Liam D Combining The Lawnmower Man and Trick Or Treat. It has an great cast and a pretty cool killer but the story feels simple and kinda copes out Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review GraveWalker 1 I love the film but to be honest it not the best film to be honest it has lot 90s trops and in it but if like that you will like this film it very nostalgic for me that why I like it. It movie you can get drunk and have good time watching with buddies during a horror movie night or watching on your own, to be honest the best character in the film the Trickster T. Ryder Smith acting was way better than the anyone else. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
