"Now that I have your attention, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Trickster." Back in the mid-’90s, director John Flynn took viewers into an immersive video game with vicious consequences in Brainscan, and with virtual reality experiences now on the rise, Scream Factory has announced a new Blu-ray release of the 1994 horror film: 

From Scream Factory: "Ready, Player One….into Hell. More 90s terror is coming your way as we unleash the often-requested film BRAINSCAN on Blu-ray August 28th!

When Michael, a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong, Terminator 2: Judgment Day), orders the latest interactive video game, the new high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious, where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder, deception and desire. Pursued by homicide detective (Frank Langella, Dracula) and prodded by "The Trickster" (T. Ryder Smith) who materializes into his room, Michael is torn between the worlds of good and evil, of reality and fantasy and, ultimately, life and death.

Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date. Pre-order BRAINSCAN now directly from us for two weeks early shipping @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/brainscan…"
