A cheesy early 90’s movie starring Edward Furlong.\u00a0 What’s not to like about that?\u00a0 This is a movie that I remember the trailers for way back, but I just never got around to it.<\/p>\n

The film is a somewhat simple premise.\u00a0 Michael(Furlong) lives in this big ass house, alone.\u00a0 I don’t recall what his dad’s deal is, but he isn’t around.\u00a0 I did miss a bit of the opening of this film.\u00a0 Anyway, he wants to try out this new interactive video game called Brainscan.\u00a0 I do know that Michael’s mom died in a car accident which also injured Michale’s leg.\u00a0 He was a crush on the girl next door named Kimberly.\u00a0 Michael also has a best friend, Kyle, who is also into horror flicks and video games.\u00a0 Just like me.<\/p>\n

Michael gets the game in the mail.\u00a0 It gives him a warning that the game feels like hypnosis.\u00a0 He has to follow the rules of the Trickster, a very eccentric character, to say the very least.\u00a0 The Trickster tells Michale that he has to\u00a0go kill some random dude and take his foot as a trophy.\u00a0 For fans of video games, this actually seems quite reasonable.\u00a0 Later on, Michael finds out that a man was murdered in real life and missing a foot.\u00a0 Yeah, you can imagine where this goes from here.<\/p>\n

I won’t ruin much more.\u00a0 The best performer here is the Trickster.\u00a0 Edward Furlong was what you’d expect.\u00a0 I’ve read that the director wasn’t a huge fan of working with him.\u00a0 That stuff happens though, all the time.\u00a0 The ending is actually pretty good.\u00a0 Yeah, this is cheesy, but it’s fun too.\u00a0 This film was ahead of its times in some ways.\u00a0 A story like this would be so much more believable with virtual reality what it is now.\u00a0 I know people hate the dreaded term “remake”, but I think it would work well here.\u00a0 This is very much an early 90’s film through and through.\u00a0 I don’t know how well received it would be by the younger generation.<\/p>\n

Rating: 5.3 It wasn’t the greatest acted, but the story was good.\u00a0 The story holds so much value to me in these films, and that’s where it succeeded.\u00a0 I would watch this again.<\/p>\n
