IslandGuru Who payed the critics
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Thy Davideth Mindwarp sucks!!! First of all, the whole film plays as an illusion which indicates that whatever I watched was meaningless. I hate that stupid ass $#!+!!!! Another thing I hated is how misleading the title and cover art is which lead me to believe this was going to focus on technological dependency but the majority of the film is wasteland post apocalyptic crap which never happens. The only thing good about this movie is the gore which never happened!!!!!! You know what? Screw this waste of life.
HeroCritic Although not very sophisticated, this movie was supposed to be quite interesting. Some idiot in a forum mentioned it, otherwise i wouldn't know about it. I saw it in 2014, which means 22 years after it was made. Why would i want to see a 1992 movie in 2014? Well, i thought it was going to be some type of futuristic dystopia film. I thought i would check out what a 1992's take of such a future would be.In the beginning of the film i thought i was going to watch an interesting approach to a futuristic film. But almost immediately, the film turned into a weirdo cheap-horror type b-grade movie, with very stupid moments, incredibly ridiculous costumes and a scenario that really disappointed me.Overall a disappointment. I would not waste time on this if i was you, do something more productive, like scratching your back with a plastic hand or something.
mstomaso Mindwarp is a relatively early effort by Steve Barnett (Director) and Henry Dominic (writer). Barnett is chiefly known for post-production work, which, surprisingly, is not a major feature of Mindwarp. His few directorial efforts have been limited to fairly dubious material like Scanner Cop II. Dominic has done some more high-profile writing in recent years, including Terminator III. Given this team's background in sci-fi, and the timing of the film (1992), it should not be surprising that Mindwarp blends plot-heavy cyberpunk, horror, and hardcore sci-fi. What is, perhaps, surprising, is how well it does so with an obviously low budget. Several years before the Matrix began shooting, Mindwarp presented the story of Judy, a smart, precocious but sheltered young 'in-worlder' who wants to experience real life, rather than simply plugging into the seemingly utopian synthetic fantasy world she can access through a serial port in the back of her neck. She just has the feeling that there must be something more to life. Of course, she has no idea what might await in the "deadlands". Most of the film follows her adventures in captivity among subterranean cult of mutant land-fill denizens and the struggle she shares with hero Bruce Campbell as they try to free themselves from the evil grip of the cult leader, Scrimm. Despite the straightforward action, however, Mindwarp is anything but a straightforward story. With a cast featuring B Movie legends Bruce Campbell and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm)you might expect Mindwarp to be an archetypal B film. Not only does Mindwarp exceed the B film standard but it also manages to entertain on more levels than most of Bruce Campbell's films do - no mean feat. Unlike many films in which he appears, Campbell does not dominate the screen throughout the film and does not have many opportunities to utter any of his hallmark clichés. Instead, we have Marta Martin (AKA Marta Alicia) in her second major role. Martin plays the immature yet very headstrong Judy very well, and would subsequently land many returning roles on popular TV shows. Their nemesis, Angus Scrimm, as of 2010, is 84 years old and still acting. He plays essentially the same role he has had countless times - a big, menacing, old, creep. Only a few other actors have speaking roles in this fairly intelligent mutant gruntfest. Recommended for Sci-Fi and Cyberpunk fans.
n_gutte2 This is a great horror movie with a little action. I enjoy to watch it. There was so many disgusting things, like blood and some ugly bugs coming out off guy's mouth. This movie is about girl named Judy who was living in small room with her mother. And all other normal people were living the same. Outsaid there was happening horrible things and because of that all people lived in virtual reality. The main bad guys were zombies drinking blood and looking horrible. This movie is real cool. Marta Alicia was good actress and I would like to know more about her. All other actors were also good. I also liked the idea of this movie. It's really better than nowadays horror movies. If you want to see really scary film, you should watch it.
