Mindwarp

I Just finished watching an imported DVD from Germany of this film with the title of Brainslasher, and i tell you what..... it is one of if not the best horror movies i have ever watched.

It has everything, Bruce Campbell, Angus Scrimm, blood, loads and loads of well done gore, a decent story, and for once a movie that dosen't slow down you never know what is comming next.

Anyway this is great, check it out you will not be dissapointed. i'm off to watch it again.

Although not really having "enjoyed" Mindwarp, I must admit it's a fairly competent movie with a handful of disturbing images and a whole lot of blood-spurting gore. The popular genre magazine Fangoria raised the necessary funds for this film and they pretty much know what their target audiences adore as well as whom they like to see in horror films. So we've got a story with some really dark topics and two respectable icons starring in important supportive roles. I'm sure many horror fans would blindly pick up a copy of "Mindwarp" only because the names of Bruce Campbell ("the Evil Dead") and Angus Scrimm ("Phantasm") are displayed on the cover. Unfortunately, however, the script is weak and very incoherent and it too often feels like the outrageously nasty gore was only put in to compensate for the lack of content. Somewhere deep into the 21st century, our planet has become a completely uninhabitable wasteland and the remaining humans live in underground rooms where their days are filled with mind-controlling computer games that induce personal fantasies. Judy rebels against this dull way of life and she's promptly exiled to the dangerous upland, where she teams up with solo-warrior Strover (Bruce Campbell) and battles a community of mutated cannibalistic creatures. The opening sequences involving hi-tech computer mumbo-jumbo are boring, confusing and pretentious and the film only becomes somewhat interesting as soon as we're in the uncanny post-apocalyptic surface settings. The Crawler's liar is creepy and sinister, and their leader (Angus Scrimm) has some gruesome hobbies like gouging people's eyes out and throwing the rest of their bodies into propellers. Nice. One-time-actress Marta Alicia doesn't bring her lines very convincing, but she sure has an athletic body and at least she had some quality time with the almighty Bruce Campbell. Good for her! "Mindwarp" is okay entertainment, but if you're looking for really good post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi movies, check out the "Mad Max" trilogy, "Damnation Alley" or "Hardware".

I never heard of that movie before. The fact that Bruce Campbell starred in it was also pretty shocking. And yes in fact it was a B-Movie. But I have to admit they used this low budget pretty well. The story is quite nice although the ending will probably confuse you. The main feeling is some kind of mixture between despair and being afraid, it's pretty brutal and heartless. The acting was good although the dialogs were a little too cheesy. Whoever made this flick had some nice ideas. And if you like post apocalyptic movies - this is one you shouldn't miss because it's really one of them better ones. Yeah just give it a try if you like cheesy B-Movie stuff like that.

Mindwarp is just great! Its just one of those fun movies that are just entertaining from start to finish. IT's very original and has a quick pace that doesn't let up. The cast led by Bruce Campbell(Evil Dead), Angus Scrimm(Phantasm), and unknown Marta Alicia is great. I have no clue who she is, but Elizabeth Kent of plays the supporting role of Cordelia is awesome! If your a fan of gory sci-fi/horror than I totally recommend Mind Warp. It is hard to find and I first saw it when I was 11 and couldn't find a copy again until I was 17. This film should have gotten the attention it deserved! See it today!!!! JUST DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

I normally hate post-apocalyptic science fiction, but I'll make an exception for Mindwarp. Despite gratuitous gore and a cast with some weak members, the film manages to be entertaining. Good use is made of a low budget, and an intriguing (if ugly) world is created. If you're a science fiction fan, this movie should be at least a little more satisfying than most genre entries.
