Buddies forever?, 24 June 2002
Author: Rainbow2002 from Montgomery, Alabama

Brainscan is a disturbing horror film. Edward Furlong is outstanding as Michael. Frank Langella is good also. T. Ryder Smith is radical, however, as Trickster. He just blows everyone away with the exception of Edward. Overflowing with gore, Brainscan is one to please it's anticipating viewer. 9 out of 10.
