Going in raw with the expectation of a energetic horror, this turned out to be nothing more than a dull, shallow teen slasher, with a disappointing lack of slashing.
This is an 80’s adventure about a mad scientist attempting to take control of USA using TV. Not like there isn’t a reality of that already, and it’s a pretty interesting subject matter to explore – propaganda in media is powerful and contentious issue. The Brain makes no serious attempt in this discussion however, resorting to cheap thrills and even cheaper props to carry itself.
The introduction is pretty cool, I thought – nicely co-ordinated and well presented, so it was tough to see the rest of the flick fall into tedium. There’s a good decaptiation of a policeman later on though. And the blonde is a nice piece of ass.
Rating: 3/10
