Brainscan 1994
Really, REALLY liked this. A perfect movie for adolescents, where it’s got enough actually scary, confrontational elements to stick with a teen without ever feeling like it’s being cruel, or going over their heads.

Egos for two; destruction for all.

When the finale card rolled and the lights went up, the room felt shell-shocked. Dead silence, like we’d just seen a car accident. Smart choice to pop the credits at the start and make the end so abrupt—doesn’t leave any room to sit and process. Concentrated shock and awe.
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt such sustained dread in a theater…
