Good start, but then it gets ruined

Brilliant and touching

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Here's a Fresh Meat review of "The Mind's Eye" (NR - 2015 - US)...Your services are no longer required.Genre: Horror/Paranormal My Score: 4.8Cast=4 Acting=2 Plot=6 Ending=7 Story=4 Scare=4 Jump=3 F/X=7 Creep=3 Gore=8Zack and Rachel were born with psychokinetic capabilities. When word of their supernatural talents gets out, they find themselves the prisoners of a deranged doctor intent on harvesting their powers.Once I saw that the lead looked like a love child between Zach Galifinakis and Daniel Radcliffe...I lowered my expectations. The acting was extraordinarily bad, making it a tough pill to swallow. The gore however, was really good...that was the only part that actually reminded me of "Scanners". Considering the lack of budget and the temperature where they were filming, I was really impressed with how good the blood was. If all you were looking for was gore, then it would be worth seeing. If you're looking at the total package, this is barely a meh.

As a child of the 80's, I grew up with these kinds of films; films about people with special powers and government cover-ups. This film does a great job of evoking that same feeling, with a decent script and a pretty decent SFX budget. The acting, however, was beyond hacky, and really marred the integrity of the film. Almost everyone involved in this movie was just awful, with overacting and poor delivery abundant in every scene. It was like watching a student film at times, with people who have no business being in front of a camera. With a more talented cast, this would have been a worthy addition to 80's horror films. As it stands, it is a decent film with some really bad talent attached to it. Watch it for the carnage and gore, but be advised, you will be rolling your eyes every time someone attempts to deliver their lines with a straight face.

I will try and be brief. The story of the film isn't too bad, albeit slightly bland as it feels like a Scanners remake. The acting wasn't too bad either other than the doctor and his goons. What really killed it for me (or made it better) was the end sequence. It all fell apart from there. It felt like nothing more than two constipated guys showing up and seeing who can take the biggest power dump to defeat the other. The constipation is so bad that blood starts coming out of everywhere. It was easily the worst case of constipation I have ever seen. Thank God I was stoned out of my mind for the end. It totally made the constipation scenes absolutely hilarious.

This is a blatant rip off of the 70's cult classic "Scanners".Now,some 40 years later with all the new technology they still can't beat or come close to what Cronenberg did. Also (to me personally) it's not even one of his best works but he does a lot with it on a small budget.The first scene of the movie introduces the telekinetic as he confronts the police and the acting immediately pulled me out of this movie.Just,so wooden and lines in a monotone voice that made it instantly boring. The effects were poor and not nearly so imaginative as from the original"Scanners". The sound(which the movie says you should play loud) was annoying and reminded me of a south park episode where Eric Cartman is fighting these mediums that think they have telekinetic powers. In the cartoon it was funny but taking seriously in this movie was just sad.If any element of "Scanners" would have been topped this would have been a not 1 movie and could have been a mildly entertaining popcorn movie.But as it has non of that,I don't recommend it.If your into low indie flicks...enjoy.
