Rating: 2/4 -- Brainscan is interesting not so much because of the plot, the murders, and the Trickster, as because of its portrait of a teenage boy living at one remove from the world. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Brainscan offers a grab bag of intriguing ideas, but the pieces never fit together. Even without the clumsy execution, though, no film could surmount Furlong's complete lack of charisma, energy, talent and screen presence. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- There's not a damn thing on display here than well-traveled horror fans haven't seen 300 times before. And less obnoxiously. Full Review

The hero, Michael, says horror is just escape, but the movie doesn't agree with him, pinning violence and its moral responsibility on him when all he wants to do is watch. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

When a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong) orders the latest interactive video game, the high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious, where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder, deception and desire. Pursued by a homicide detective (Frank Langella) and prodded by The Trickster (T. Ryder Smith), he is torn between the worlds of good and evil, reality and fantasy, and -- ultimately -- life and death.
