I stumbled upon the 1988 horror movie "The Brain" from writer Barry Pearson and director Ed Hunt here in 2022 by random chance. And with it being a late 1980s horror movie that I had never seen or even heard about, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
Initially when I sat David Gale on the screen, I have to admit that I was actually thrilled and had some hopes for the movie.
But the hopes were rather quickly shot down as "The Brain" wasn't a particularly impressive horror movie. Even for a late 1980s horror movie "The Brain" just didn't stand out. Sure, it was watchable, but it was rather generic and mundane actually.
The storyline told in "The Brain" is archetypical late 1980s horror cheese. So if that is your cup of tea then "The Brain" should be entertaining for you.
The cast ensemble in "The Brain" was good, just a shame that the actors and actresses didn't have that much to work with in terms of script and storyline.
Visually then "The Brain" was mediocre. The special effects in the movie just felt cheap and amateurish. And it was something that took away part of the enjoyment of the movie.
My rating of "The Brain" lands on a four out of ten stars.
