SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

soulexpress Dr. Phillip Rothman (Terry Londeree) is a biophysicist who teaches at an unnamed college. With funding from a software-development company, Dr. Rothman conducts auditory-stimulation experiments on student volunteers. Problem is, once they're back in the outside world and encounter a light pattern similar to the experiments, it turns them into violent serial killers. Not a bad idea for a sci-fi chiller, but BRAIN TWISTERS landed far short of its potential.The stereotyped characters include the heartless CEO (Robert T. Hughes), the mad scientist (Dr. Rothman), the good girl (Farrah Forke), the shameless floozy (Donna Bostany), the no-nonsense police detective (Joe Lombardo), the creepy custodian (Charles Lopresto), and the big bad government agent (Warren Cox?).Londeree rarely changes facial expressions, and delivers his lines in a monochromatic drone. When Rothman tells his work-study student, "I'm a little on edge today," he does so because we never would have guessed otherwise. While Londeree stands out as even more wooden than Kevin Costner, the other cast members do no better. But how can they, with a script that doesn't give them characters so much as stick people they have to flesh out themselves?The custodian is superfluous. He spends all his time alone and does not contribute to the plot in any way. The character must have been tacked on to stretch the film's length to an acceptable 90 minutes for release to theaters.The camera work is nothing special, though I liked the close-up shots of the bubbles in a female student's bathtub scene moments before she suddenly becomes a double murderer. This petite young woman takes out a pair of football players with her scissors. Sounds plausible, huh?Finally, the synthesized score is repetitive and irritating. And let's not even talk about the film's original pop songs! Thankfully, BRAIN TWISTERS never produced a soundtrack CD.I gave the film two stars because at least it wasn't boring.

mgt1978 It's not too bad. I was able to watch the whole movie. It wasn't a comedy and didn't have any jokes, but I found myself laughing through some of it. The acting is horrendous. I can't really describe bad acting, but you know it when you see it, and I saw it a lot. The main bad guy was creepy, but laughable creepy. The relationship with the chick from "Wings" and the cop was really weird. There was a lot of food in the movie. It seemed like every scene had someone chomping on something. Two scenes stand out as total cheese.The first scene is in the nightclub. I guess the creepy bad guy is looking for a new victim. He hangs out in a club, then some 80's synthesizer music starts playing and all the teens start dancing. I think it was the first flash mob. He hits on a chick and she turns him down. There was something eerie throughout this whole scene. It didn't really belong.The second scene is my favorite and is worth the 40 cents I paid for this movie. The chick from "Wings" gets scared and calls the cop. The cop invites himself over for dinner that he ends up cooking. First he yells at her for having no garlic, then breaks out some garlic in a bag he brought over. They have this "romantic" spaghetti dinner that looks disgusting. Plus, this couple doesn't match up well. The chick is a young beautiful college student and the cop is some goofy looking old guy. He makes some joke about if she is like the virgin olive oil and we wants to check for himself. After dinner he kicks her out of the kitchen and does the dishes himself while the chick watches TV and gets in a trance. She gets a knife to kill him, but she comes out of the trance and starts making out with the cop "Dumb and Dumber" style. They looked like two teenagers who have never made out before. After eating all that garlic I would imagine it wouldn't be too pleasant. The whole relationship is uncomfortable, but funny too.This movie also had a creepy janitor that never amounted to anything at the end. All in all it wasn't too bad. I'll never watch it again, but it was worth the 40 cents I paid for it.

Michael O'Keefe A university research psychologist, Dr. Phillip Rothman(Terry Londeree) convinces a group of college friends in taking part in an experiment to see if changing colors and patterns of a computer game changes behavior. The software company providing the games figures to use the experiment's results in recouping and making money with expectations the games will become popular among colleges students and would eventually control them. But bad thing is... the students in the experiment are already becoming very violent. A pretty tame thriller. Nothing redeeming. The cast includes: Farrah Forke, Donna Bostany, Heather Ann Barclay, Shura McComb and Joe Lombardo.

gavin6942 An experiment in computer-generated mind control goes berserk... and the body count is rising! Who is behind this and what are they trying to accomplish? The film has an interesting lecture with props on lobotomy, awesome early 90s metal and dance music, but that's the only good things I can say about it.The video game shown is really, really poor for 1991. As another reviewer said, it looks like a Commodore 64. (This same reviewer said the professor is more wooden than Keanu Reeves and that could not be more true.)I cannot recommend this to you or anyone. By this point, even bad films should at least look good, but this one just does not. I wish it had never been made at all.
