Tune In Tuesday: Brainscan (1994)

Lonely teenager Michael (Edward Furlong) is thrown into a world of horror when he plays an interactive video game called Brainscan in which he commits all sorts of murderous deeds at the behest of the computer-generated Trickster (T. Ryder Smith). When it appears as though Michael's in-game exploits may have real world consequences, can he escape the Trickster's influence before it's too late? Frank Langella, Amy Hargreaves, Jamie Marsh co-star in this sci-fi shocker.

This is one that is so tied up in memories of when it was released for me that I can't say if it actually holds up. the character Eddie Furlong plays is exactly the kind of kid I wanted to be In 1994.This movie was aimed directly at me. The influences  of A nightmare on elm street are obvious, but in hindsight, knowing where the horror movie was in 1994 and where it would go, that only adds a layer of interest . In 1994 it was Reasonable to think Trickster could be the next horror heavy. The soundtrack is great as well, the songs and the orchestral music.  the movie is interesting as a piece of mid 90s horror metal aesthetic.
