I love this movie too. I remember at first watching "Brainscan" in Italian (with a different title) during the summer of '97. Susequently it took me 11 long years to find it in English. The movie is a "B movie" may not be a blockbuster but definetly worthwhile watching. Among the main characters that include Edward Furlong who plays a sterotypical American teenager who's in to heavy metal and horror movies.
He discovers this new video game named "Brainscan" who he get's sucked in to and "virtually" turns his life upside down. Watch out for "Trickster" (played by T. Ryder Smith) who's plays this cool and canny demonic character who is eloquent to watch and listen to, he's such a character.
I strongly reccomend this movie to anyone who is not in to horror and enjoys black comedies.

Oh, man, I love this movie. It's not perfect, but it takes such a fresh and juicy approach to horror that I can only wonder why more horror fans haven't feasted of the virtual flesh that is Brainscan. Sure, the climax of the film is predictable, and the plot requires the mega-indulgence of your imagination, and the final, final twist is something of a letdown (of little importance), but this film has pizzazz and originality, a heavy rocking soundtrack, and a genuine element of creepiness that flowed through my veins like liquid nirvana.
Edward Furlong of T2 fame plays Michael Bower, a rather solitary computer nerd of a teenager who lives in a world of horror films, computer games, and rock music; like many a horror fanatic, he is always on the lookout for the ultimate horror experience (although, as typically happens, he's afraid to make a move on the girl next door whom he secretly pines for). He sounds a lot like me, actually, but this kid has an awesome computer system (especially for 1994) which includes a virtual assistant named Igor. When his best (and only) bud tells him about this new interactive game called Brainscan (dude, it's advertised in Fangoria), he calls up the number and soon finds himself engaged in an experience he was not prepared for. The first disk promises him a realistic experience of killing from the viewpoint of the killer himself. Don't get hung up on the details because he basically just sits there and the game sends out some kind of special hypnotic waves toward his brain or something. Anyway, he's pretty stoked about the experience until he learns that a local man was actually murdered in an identical fashion - it was supposed to be just a computer game.

Michael Bower is a teenager who is into heavy metal and horror movies, one day his one and only friend Kyle phones him to tell him about a game advertised in Fangoria called Brainscan. During the phone call we discover that Michael likes to spy on his neighbour, an attractive girl called Kimberly who goes to his school. Kyle has been nagging him to ask her out, but he seems to be very nervous about it. Michael is all alone in his large house, as it's shown through a flashback very early on that his mother died in a car crash in which he was injured, and his father seems to work away from home a lot. Michael calls to ask about the game, wondering how it differs from any other game he's played. His body suddenly starts convulsing as if over taken by another force, he tries to phone back but the number no longer seems to exist.

A few days later, the first Brainscan disc arrives, and Michael is told that the game works by hypnotizing him so he can watch a murder through the eyes of a killer. Michael is then transported into the mind of a killer, the killer breaks into a house and discovers a man sleeping in his bed. He stabs the man in the back, and then severs the man's foot. Michael wakes up in his room and is amazed by how brilliant it was. The day after, he tells Kyle all about it, and Kyle seems eager to lend the game but Michael wants to play on it a few more times first. He goes over to talk to Kimberly, while he's waiting to talk to her, a news report comes on the tv talking about a murder that's happened in the neighbourhood where a man had his foot cut off. Michael feels sick and rushes home where he finds the foot in his fridge.

Judging by it's previous 7 reviews, Brainscan is not that well known a film and given the fact that it is almost 20 years old that won't change. Starring Edward Furlong who will always be linked to his role in Terminator 2. Furlong plays a typical teenager, into his horror and rock music who buys a computer game from Fangoria magazine. The game is supposed to blow your mind, but Furlong who has seen everything remains skeptical. That is until the game delivers on all levels. Subconcisely the game makes Furlong commit murders, even though he believes it is part of the game. However it is not.

So that is the basis of the plot. To be fair not much else happens in the film, however it is quick moving and you're never sitting there thinking this is boring. It's a good film, if not spectacular. It's also a treat to see Frank Languilla as the monster host who features on the cover of the dvd.

A special mention should also go to the superb soundtrack. It's haunting and very beautiful. Well worth doing a bit more research and obtaining it on a soundtrack.
