before the formula
In the mess of this whole new teeny bop friendly, horror-without-the-horror nonsense I’ve been seeing so much of in recent years in pieces of crap films like the “scream” series and others that remain nameless, although I am sure you know what entities I am speaking of… “Brainscan” is one of the last few greats. Greats, as in, it chooses to use a formula that is well known within the genre-yet attempts to add a twist to it, producing one of the first and one of the only watchable films of its kind (ever seen “arcade”? Or those techno babble wastes of reel “Lawnmower Man 2” or “Webmaster”?) I will admit, it is not the best horror film of all time, but considering it is most likely the last theatrically released film of its kind with even an tint of quality to it…the last film that took any amount of creativity to adhere to the mainstream (If there is such a thing) Horror genre format while trying to revamp and revitalise it… I do believe this film deserves some credit. It is what it is, I prefer not to think of it as the possibilities of it being so much more…for what was accomplished, I’d say it was well worth it..
Nightmare on Elm Street meets Terminator via The Lost Boys
This movie is not a great movie, but it has its merits. The slightly erotic and mysterious atmosphere a la Lost Boys boosts it the most, too bad they used just a little smudge of it and a lot more Elm Street tricky demon stuff.The plot is pretty predictable, but the script is decent and Edward Furlong is very suited to play the alienated youth obsessed by hard, but fake, horror movie scares. The music was also appropriate.
It was interesting to see in a movie computer interfaces that even computers today don’t have. The difference is that back then they couldn’t do it and now nobody gives a damn anymore.
Bottom line: I think it was so close to a cult classic. It is clearly underrated on IMDb and, except some silly scenes that could have been edited or completely removed, a decent thriller for teenagers. It doesn’t scare so much as involves, which is something movies nowadays fail to do most of the time.
