For a cheesy, goofy teen horror movie from the 90s I thought it was pretty entertaining.

This is a awesome flick from the 90's. Unfortunately it's not wellknown. It's like INCEPTION not with dreams, but with a virtual computer game. I love it when you don't know if you're back in reality or not :) I HOPE THE MAKE A REMAKE OF THIS ONE DAY!

A good concept but not the best execution. ***Brainscan*** is cheesy 90's teen horror but it's not nearly fun or entertaining enough to stand out in that subgenre. The acting and dialogue is terrible but I really like the score. Trickster does some cool tricks but he feels like Freddy Kruger from Wish. His interactions with Michael get repetitive and annoying. The CD-ROM, computers and TV did not age well but it gives it nostalgia. I see the necessity to include the investigation from the police because the objecive of the game is to murder without getting caught but that side of the story could've been better. Got boring from time to time. The reveal of who Trickster is followed by a few cool visuals was the best part. Good ending and begging for a sequel.

It was decent, but nothing to be crazy about it. The acting and script is extremely weak, but in tone with a big part of 90's movie acting. The twist was kinda expected; I was waiting for something a bit more imaginative. CGI of course didn't age well, but for the time it was released, I guess was ok. A middle of the road, 5 for me P.D: I totally dig the Igor system, I would love to have it
