CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

movieman_kev Silly me, I thought that "Blood Trails" was the worst film that I'd have the misfortune to watch today. But lo and behold, here comes "Brain Twisters" to again prove me wrong, oh so VERY wrong.This relatively bloodless tale of an insane scientist (but aren't they all) who's experiments with a video game make his student subjects into mindless murderous psychopaths, has nothing going for it. Insanely bad acting, and horribly disjointed storyline that at times I think was merely jotted haphazardly on paper cocktail napkins. This stinker not only scrapes the bottom of the proverbial barrel, but permanently resides there. It can't get much worse than this.

kai ringler This 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.

SanteeFats About the only redeeming thins about this movie is Farrah Forke, from Wings fame, is in it. The guy who plays the professor is not a very good actor. He does get the smarmy, superior academician snobbish down very well. The professor is doing psycho experiments on some of his students that cause them to go nuts when they see flashing lights and kill innocent bystanders. Terminating the experiments which have been funded by some corporation the professor is in turn terminated a further into the film. There is a detective who is investigating some of the murders/suicides and starts dogging the prof. Then the FBI gets involved, he keeps his investigation going and gets suspended for two weeks. The corporate exec that is masterminding the cover up gets killed by one of the experiments. I don't know this a pretty uneven and poorly done movie. Why was it made? Who knows, someone with more money than taste? Wil;l I watch it again? Oh, Hades no!!!

Navajas This is definitely a forgotten piece of cinema from the early 90's if ever there was one. I found Brain Twisters as part of a recent Mill Creek DVD boxed set and, while the twelve-movie sets aren't nearly as daunting as those with fifty, when I purchase a boxed set I watch them all, no matter how painful.In all actuality, this is not as bad as the other reviews would suggest. That's not to say this is a good movie, either; it just doesn't have anything especially interesting going on with it to fall into that So-Bad-It's-Good category. It does have some blood, but it could have used some more meat and maybe an exposed breast or two.The basic premise is this: a college professor named Dr. Philip Rothman (Terry Londeree, in one of his only film roles--his acting is even more wooden than Keanu Reeves) is working with a private company to develop a mind-altering software, and uses his own workstudy students as lab subjects. The testing consists of the subjects watching some colorful four-bit graphics that look like they were made on a Commodore 64 or some other piece of hardware that was outdated even by the standards of the early 90's. Very pretty, yes, but in this case the colorful squares also turn the subjects into vicious killers. Sometimes they kill themselves, depending on the needs of the script.Most of the story revolves around the life of one of Rothman's students, Laurie Stevens (Farrah Forke, who actually did go on to get some decent work on television). She's not exactly a "final girl" in any sense, though, just to note--I noticed other reviewers calling this a Slasher film, which it is not by any stretch of the imagination. Laurie is just a lead character, but she is written very thinly; she is, for example, apparently able to resist the mind control aspects of the pretty lights, but that is not very well conveyed through either script nor acting.Behind the poorly executed plot is a conspiracy involving a video game developer (I think) that is (for some unknown reason) using the pretty light software to put into commercial games with the intention of making kids go crazy and kill people (I guess). There's also this uncomfortable romantic sub-plot with Laurie and a cop (Frank Tun, played by Joe Lombardo, whoever that is). Really, the whole thing is one big mess.I honestly can't recommend this flick for anyone, but it was moderately amusing, if only because it was so bad.
