WANNA PLAY? I DARE YOU.
A teenage horror fan discovers a computer game that uses hypnosis to custom-tailor the game into the most terrifying virtual experience imaginable. When he emerges from the hypnotic trance he is horrified to find that a brutal murder depicted in the game actually happened in real life – and he might be the killer.
A decent B-movie. Compare this to Videodrome to see why Videodrome is such an excellent movie. It has a similar theme, but while Brainscan “plays it safe” and follows a typical story structure with all kinds of standard tropes, you never really know where Videodrome is gonna take you.
