Brainscan is a 1994 horror movie. It was directed by John Flynn and stars Edward Furlong, Frank Langella and T. Ryder Smith .
Brainscan is a new, interactive video game that uses the players own subconscious to create a life-like experience of true terror. Michael Bower (Furlong) receives the game disc (after not ordering it, only calling to inquire about it), and decides to give it a shot. In the game, he kills an innocent man and cuts off his foot. After "awaking" from the session, he later discovers that the murder was real, and the foot is in his freezer. Things begin to spiral out of control after the arrival of Trickster (Smith), the game's creator. Bower is forced to continue playing successive pieces of the game to avoid being arrested for the murder by a detective (Langella). More murders occur, including that of his best friend, as Bower starts to go insane from the guilt. After nearly killing the girl he's in love with, Bower is consumed by Trickster. Bower then wakes up to find that no murders had happened, and the entire past week was only part of the game. Bower then gives the game to his school principal, who at the beginning of the movie had forced Bower to disband his horror club.
