Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Well I first watched this movie when I was 18 in 1994 and, feeling a little nostalgic thought I'd give it another look as I remembered it being good. Most times when you've watched a movie at a younger age and re visit it its never the same and left with the feeling of 'what the hell did I see in this'. Im happy to report that this movie is still as original as I remember and still a good watch. It was never a mainstream movie and was a new concept when first released. The acting is mostly good and the music chosen fits in well with the story line. This has got to go down as one of the classics from the 90's that everyone from that period needs to see at least once.

BrainscanThe upside to murdering someone online is not having to clean up all that blood afterwards.Unfortunately, for the player in this horror movie, his victims are appearing in reality.A homebody since an accident, Michael (Edward Furlong) has become a skilled gamer eager for new challenges, which he finds in a hyper-realistic mail-order game.Egged on by the games master Trickster (T. Ryder Smith), Michael starts slaying online characters only to discover the same killings have occurred in his neighbourhood.Stranger still, Trickster has escaped the game and is ordering him to kill the girl-next-door (Amy Hargreaves).While the first person perception of the game play was ahead of its time for 1994, any prescience or innovation within this thriller is irreparably damaged by the inclusion of the irritating Trickster character.Furthermore, if video game victims started materializing there would be a ton of decapitated martial artists lying around.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

lazy Sunday afternoon, and it's raining, what could you do, visit the inlaws or watch the first horror experience with your kids. Than this one is an ideal movie to watch. As said in the summary, pre SAW, why, well, the kid got involved in a video game were he has to kill people to survive. Once that's done the game really starts, there are witnesses. Kill them is your next mission. The movie isn't bad after all, it's made when horror was at his deepest point of boredom. There were sequels around that everybody hated. So this flick is a relief for that era. It's well done it's sometimes bloody but never gory, due the fact that kids are the main actors this film surely will do for the kids at home, I guess they should be 16 or older. It's a bit past the theme now but place yourself in that era, the start of games, online, the coming of the NET, interactive games. catch it if you can, not easy to find here in Europe, some video retailers will still have it, I bought a new VHS copy for a few cents, never regret that, enjoy the game...and when your children are older give them SAW

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.
