Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

soulexpress Dr. Phillip Rothman (Terry Londeree) is a biophysicist who teaches at an unnamed college. With funding from a software-development company, Dr. Rothman conducts auditory-stimulation experiments on student volunteers. Problem is, once they're back in the outside world and encounter a light pattern similar to the experiments, it turns them into violent serial killers. Not a bad idea for a sci-fi chiller, but BRAIN TWISTERS landed far short of its potential.The stereotyped characters include the heartless CEO (Robert T. Hughes), the mad scientist (Dr. Rothman), the good girl (Farrah Forke), the shameless floozy (Donna Bostany), the no-nonsense police detective (Joe Lombardo), the creepy custodian (Charles Lopresto), and the big bad government agent (Warren Cox?).Londeree rarely changes facial expressions, and delivers his lines in a monochromatic drone. When Rothman tells his work-study student, "I'm a little on edge today," he does so because we never would have guessed otherwise. While Londeree stands out as even more wooden than Kevin Costner, the other cast members do no better. But how can they, with a script that doesn't give them characters so much as stick people they have to flesh out themselves?The custodian is superfluous. He spends all his time alone and does not contribute to the plot in any way. The character must have been tacked on to stretch the film's length to an acceptable 90 minutes for release to theaters.The camera work is nothing special, though I liked the close-up shots of the bubbles in a female student's bathtub scene moments before she suddenly becomes a double murderer. This petite young woman takes out a pair of football players with her scissors. Sounds plausible, huh?Finally, the synthesized score is repetitive and irritating. And let's not even talk about the film's original pop songs! Thankfully, BRAIN TWISTERS never produced a soundtrack CD.I gave the film two stars because at least it wasn't boring.

Rainey Dawn Not one person in the film has their brain twisted... just the bored viewing audience that twists their brain trying to figure out why in the heck they just watched such a horrible film.The film seemed OK at first but as I watched it I became extremely bored with the film so I watched the rest of it in fast-forward (double time) and quickly realized I was missing nothing if I had of just turned it off and moved on to the next film in the film pack. There is really nothing to see but people mainly just standing around talking about nothing exciting.I'm sure there are people out there that found this film entertaining but for me I was bored, bored and more bored with the film. There might be a grand total of 10 minutes of "Brain Twisting" going on that is worth watching - and that is spread out over the course of the film.1/10

kai ringler This isn't as bad as most people say it is,, sure I rated it a 3 because it deserves it,, but I have at least 50 movies that I think are worse than this one . No major actors in this,, kinda can see why.. a College Professor has a class he teaches and he uses his students as actual lab experiments,, something to do with the brain , and mind control,, it seems that after going thru these mind control experiments his patients feel the need to go out in public and go on a murderous rampage. in the meantime we have one of our female characters falling for our cop friend, typical , but not what happens after she eats his home cooking. I found the movie to be hilarious at times,, I actually sat thru this one , without much pain to be honest.. I wouldn't say it's a classic,, but not too bad by any stretch of the imagination,, decent "b" movie. maybe slightly below average. but definitely watchable.

Red-Barracuda A college professor warps the minds of several of his students by exposing them to a video game that can bring about extreme changes in personality. This leads to several of them resorting to murder.This cheap 90's science fiction thriller is not terribly impressive. The basic idea isn't particularly interesting to begin with but the execution is even worse. There are a series of scenes where we see the victims of the brain twisting game committing homicidal acts but none of them are well delivered and the movie subsequently has very little thrills. Its low budget is pretty obvious throughout but that's not really an excuse for the resultant lameness of the entire film. It's just very difficult to care very much what happens because the basic premise isn't presented or explained very well. We don't really see much of the video game and there isn't really a lot of connection between it and the murder scenes. It's just very poorly put together generally. The best moment, however, was a laugh-out-loud one when the professor unveils a severed head in a jar – it's not only presented in a ridiculously matter-of-fact way but it looks disconcertingly like the head of Beaker from The Muppets.
