I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
View MoreExcellent, a Must See
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreThis isn't as bad as most people say it is,, sure I rated it a 3 because it deserves it,, but I have at least 50 movies that I think are worse than this one . No major actors in this,, kinda can see why.. a College Professor has a class he teaches and he uses his students as actual lab experiments,, something to do with the brain , and mind control,, it seems that after going thru these mind control experiments his patients feel the need to go out in public and go on a murderous rampage. in the meantime we have one of our female characters falling for our cop friend, typical , but not what happens after she eats his home cooking. I found the movie to be hilarious at times,, I actually sat thru this one , without much pain to be honest.. I wouldn't say it's a classic,, but not too bad by any stretch of the imagination,, decent "b" movie. maybe slightly below average. but definitely watchable.
View MoreCollege professor Dr. Phillip Rothman (Terry Londeree) uses members of his class as unwitting guinea pigs in an experiment, exposing them to video graphics (that look like the loading screen from a mid-80s computer game) which cause sudden violent outbursts. Cop Frank Turi (Joe Lombardo) investigates these strange occurrences with help from Laurie (Farrah Forke), one of Rothman's students...Although Brain Twisters meets some of the criteria necessary for an entertaining slice of early 90s cheeze—a silly story, poor acting, terrible fashion, naff computer effects—it seriously neglects the two main staples of the 'genre'—gratuitous nudity and OTT splatter—thus failing to qualify as an essential title for fans of trash cinema.Forke is certainly fit enough for some gratuitous flashing of bare flesh, as evidenced in the brief swimming pool scene that reveals an impressive form, but she remains hidden under nasty, baggy 90s fashion for the remainder of the duration, and despite the film featuring several violent deaths, the gore is limited to a terrible severed head in a jar and an unconvincing slashed throat.
View MoreAn experiment in computer-generated mind control goes berserk... and the body count is rising! Who is behind this and what are they trying to accomplish? The film has an interesting lecture with props on lobotomy, awesome early 90s metal and dance music, but that's the only good things I can say about it.The video game shown is really, really poor for 1991. As another reviewer said, it looks like a Commodore 64. (This same reviewer said the professor is more wooden than Keanu Reeves and that could not be more true.)I cannot recommend this to you or anyone. By this point, even bad films should at least look good, but this one just does not. I wish it had never been made at all.
View MoreDriven Dr. Philip Rothman (a hopelessly insipid and less than sinister performance by Terry Lenderee) conducts mind control experiments on students which in turn causes them to become crazy and murderous. Sound good? Well, it sure ain't. For starters, writer/director Jerry Sangiuliano relates the meandering story at an excruciatingly sluggish pace and fails to build even a modicum of tension. Worse yet, the characters are all blah cardboard stereotypes: we've got the shameless slut (Donna Bostany, who at least looks hot) who sleeps with all her professors so she can earn passing grades, the no-nonsense police detective (flatly played by Joe Lombardo) who's determined to solve the case no matter what, and even the obligatory weirdo janitor (Charles Lopresto, who at least looks creepy) who's always lurking around every corner. Adding additional abject insult to already appalling injury are Larry Gelb's annoyingly shrill and redundant shivery synthesizer score, a numbing surplus of tedious talk, infrequent kill scenes, no nudity to speak of, extremely mild and largely bloodless violence, tacky 80's video game-style (far from) special effects, and a dissatisfying limp ending. This movie crucially lacks the necessary energy and sense of misguided enthusiasm to qualify as an enjoyably awful piece of schlock. Instead this flick is about as fun and exciting as watching two elderly turtles copulate. An immensely cruddy and unrewarding stiff.
