July 17, 2009This movie is the cream of the crop of B-grade movies. This seems to be a follow on from Terminator II which stars Edward Furlong as a starring role, the producers loving it because he's "Hot" apparently, and Edward loving it because it's about him.

August 4, 2008A fun and freshly original horror film. No real scares, no real gore, but this movie highly relies on heavy suspense, cool characters(one being Trickster for sure), and great atmosphere. The effects in Brainscan were cool as well, well at least for it's time and better than most ...( read more)

July 7, 2007A movie about a killer video game! But the game doesn't kill the people who play it... The game actually has those who play it become the killer, except they don't know that they're really out there killing real people.

May 14, 2009I wish I hadn't rented this movie. Not sure what I was thinking. Horrible acting through out. Poor Furlong. Long and monotonous, you keep hoping it get better, but its just ongoing annoyance.

May 1, 2009Every time I watch this movie I get so totally engrossed with it that I forget my surroundings. In my book getting that immersed in a movie is a good indication of an excellent movie. The Trickster character is absolutely wonderful!

September 19, 2007I think I missed something....did they explain at all why Edward Furlong's charecter had a limp, or was it just a plot device???? Either way, I'm okay with it, I'm glad he's not superficial. Most actors who are told they are playing someone with a handicap or flaw try to worm their way out of it or overexaggerate it in a way that is grossly offensive. I'm glad Eddie was brave enough to take a risk & play a charecter that some viewers might not find physically approachable or appealing & do it with sensativity.
