Watch Mind Ripper For Free

hyped garbage

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

MInd Ripper is a ridiculous, clumsy, sloppily directed B movie from Joe Gayton. Written by Jonathan Craven (son of the late great Wes Craven) Mind Ripper is a film about an underground government research team, that attempt to reanimate a corpse, only for their creation to backfire and kill them. The film is a not so subtle re-telling of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein. The only difference being this monster has a penis that comes out of his mouth, that sucks out peoples brains. ( and yes I'm laughing as I type this.)This film feels as though it only got funded due to Wes Craven's name being attached to the project. That's not too say the film is completely joyless. Lance Henriksen and Claire Stansfield do a great job of taking the material somewhat serious, and they manage to keep a straight face through-out. The rest of the cast is pretty bland though, and there's not much to add.This is the sort of film where you either accept the ludicrous premise and go along with it. Or you don't and have to fight the urge to turn the film off at every stupid moment that occurs in the film. For the most part I went along with it, and in the end it's nothing more then a campy schlockfest, that has its characters run around the same poorly lit corridors for ninety minutes.

Call me easy to please, but I actually kinda liked THE OUTPOST (aka MIND RIPPER). The movie is just average in every sense of the word. It's not original and it never rises above mediocrity. But hell, I'll watch any movie with Lance Henriksen in it, because he's always decent.Once again a military science-project has gone wrong (when will they ever learn?). On a desolate underground outpost in the desert a human is injected with an experimental virus (in order to create the perfect soldier). He then slowly mutates into a killing machine with a craving for human brains. Stockton (Lance Henriksen), who once abandoned the project when the military took over, gets called in to fix the problem. He decides to take along his son, his daughter and her boyfriend.What we get then is your basic ALIEN-plot: a lot of running around in tight hallways, systematically killing off all the scientists and a final battle with the mutant outside the complex. Why did I like it? Ehrr... Lance Henriksen is in it... and the mutant-man's spiky tentacle coming out of his mouth to suck people's brains was kinda cool. The make-up effects were all quite good, actually. And then there was the mutant's dream-sequence (I gotta hand it to the film-makers: they got me there!). And what about Giovanni Ribisi? Well, he looked stoned throughout the whole movie (in fact, he always does, even in TV's FRIENDS). But he and Lance were the best actors of the cast. And Natasha Wagner and Claire Stansfield are always nice to look at. Come to think of it: there weren't actually many actors in this movie. Strange, when you consider that it all took place in a scientific/military facility. No security, no dumb soldiers running around, nothing.Whatever, to me this was a nice 90 minutes time-waster with some gory brain-sucking action. Nothing special.

It's a trifle, of course, and it IS hard to know what attracted Wes Craven to such a degree that he lent it an "Executive Producer" credit, but it does have some interesting touches. The first is the compassion it shows for the "monster". In fact, although many have made the "Alien" connection (mainly because of the underground tunnels and shafts), it really plays more like a variation on the "Frankenstein" myth; there is a scientist who wants to "play God" and a sad creature that is forced to become murderous (and his killing method owes more than a little to Cronenberg's "Rabid", too). Another interesting idea is the way all the characters are initially presented as either bland or obnoxious (and boy are the two male teenagers obnoxious!), only for most of them to reveal some redeeming side later on. And the gore fans will get some moments they can appreciate in this one, particularly an eyeball-piercing in close-up! Lance Henriksen reportedly said that this is one of those films that "pay your alimony", but at least he handles it like a pro and doesn't show any contempt for his audience. The film's worst part is the ending, which gets so far-fetched it's almost funny. But all-in-all "Mind Ripper" is worth one viewing. (**)

This is great, has a great story and a great monster. The characters do sometimes feel unbelievable and are never developed but the action is amazing. Starts slow and the story was a quite jumbled, but all comes together in the end, and from can be quite unpredictable. Watch it you will love it
