Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

darthMisaskernew The Brain is a weird movie! But I still love it! I first saw it on TV as a kid late at night and when I woke up the next morning I thought I dreamt it up because it didn't seem real. Years later I saw the poster and realized what I saw wasn't a dream but actually a real movie! It's a very strange film, about a giant brain that brainwashes and feeds off people, but if you get too close it'll actually attack and eat you alive. The brain is created by a scientist who is played by the guy from ReAnimator, and the only one who can resist the brainwashing is a high school rebel who looks like he's in his 30's. The special effects are gloriously cheesy, and watching the brain kill people is the best part of the movie. Since it has no arms or legs, I always wondered how it gets around. I imagine the face of the brain was just put onto the front of a van or something and a driver would drive after the actors. It doesn't even look like a brain...as a kid I thought it was some sort of giant worm or something, and it looks like a granola cookie with a giant evil face on it. What's sad is that this film was not a theatrical release, but instead went straight-to-VHS, which is part of the reason why I think nobody has ever heard of it. It's a very entertaining and well made movie, and it's a shame it doesn't have the attention it deserves. I think the film could actually use a remake, and I NEVER say that about ANY films...my username might as well be IHATEREMAKES or something. But The Brain is unique enough to warrant one. Don't remake Halloween or TCM or some well known classic, remake something like this!

trashgang It was all over with the slashers around 88 so it was time for the cheesy rip offs of those older movies. The Brain is well done, the script reminded me of Videodrome but then in a more cheesy way as said before. The acting can go through with it. But it's the effects that makes you laugh, the so called Brain is really a turkey and the blood is never shown. The opening sequence is what makes this movie worth watching, the hallucinations are really nicely done and reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street, remember the telephone coming alive.... Some how you keep watching this flick, waiting what is happening next. It's viewable for all freaks out there cause there isn't any gore in it and as said the blood isn't there neither but there is nudity for the perverts. I have seen worser movies than this one, only wished they had made it bloodier...

Seb The Brain is the story of an evil alien brain that tries to take control of the world through a threadbare looking self-help show. When it fails to take control of a rebellious teenager it sets him up as a murderer which as it turns out is pretty easy. If you shout "he killed them" to the cops they will believe you, even if you are holding an axe and there is a headless cop at your feet.The effects for this movie range between shoddy and outright hilarious. The brain itself is obviously the comedy highlight but also memorable is the explosion where two very obvious fireworks can be seen. The story itself isn't that bad and there is some good acting, the thing is though you'll just be laughing at the effects too much to notice much else. I'm not saying it's well written though, the ending is spelt out in mile high letters within 20 minutes which is a bit of a shame.People are always saying that bad movies are "so bad they're good" but this is one film that's genuinely deserving of that accolade. I really enjoyed it, if you feel like some cheap laughs and a watchable story you'll find them with this movie.

Tikkin I found this really cheap on DVD recently and just HAD to snap it up - it's one of those horror flicks I kept seeing on ebay but didn't want to pay too much for it.It turns out that it's not a bad cheesy monster flick, but nothing special either. I would describe it as average. The brain itself is funny to watch, especially when it attacks. The scene at the end where it explodes in a shower of sparks is hilarious. The plot is silly and loosely ties all the events together. There's some boring moments and some fun moments.Overall I would rate it as average. There's loads of better films out there, if you're a fan of The Brain then you may want to check out The Suckling (a film about an aborted killer foetus) or The Deadly Spawn. Both have similarities to The Brain and are much more entertaining.
