Review of Brainscan

Brainscan is more than just a horror film. It's main character Michael (Edward Furlong) lost his mother at an early age. The idea of the game he plays is that it has scanned his brain and realised that he has little appreciation left for life - what with losing his mother and his father travelling on business so much - we assume that it hurts him to be around his son who survived the accident his wife died in. Michael feels that life has no worth and it's only through the playing of the 'Brainscan' game that he realises how important every life is, even a strangers life.

***WARNING SPOILERS BE HERE!***

This is brought to a head when he is forced to murder his best friend and then encouraged to kill 'the girl next door'.

Look beyond the sometimes cheesy script and examine the psychology behind the film. You'll find it's worth a second look.
