The Brain

[Felicity]

I saw this movie in the late 1990s, when I was still foolish enough to believe that no movie made in the 1980s (my favourite decade) could be so bad that I couldn’t watch it.  This movie was one of the movies that changed that belief.  It also contributed to the killing of my patriotism for the movie talent pool of my native Canada.  (The evil assistant in that clip is played by George Buza, or as I call him, the Canadian Richard Riehle, and he’s a familiar face from countless made-in-Toronto TV shows and movies.  On the other hand, he was awesome as the voice of Beast in the 1992 X-Men cartoon.)

Reading your review almost makes me want to see it again, though.  I have a higher B-movie threshold now than I did five years ago, especially if they’re horror and can be watched with other B horror movie fans.  If it’s ever on Space: The Imagination Station (and, as it qualifies as Canadian content, it seems likely that it will be) I think I’ll tape it and inflict on it my horror-loving friend Gowan.

I think things like this movie are fantastic. Noone would ever know this movie as part of their general pop-culture knowledge. It's info that you can have forever about an extremely obscure canadian film from the 1980s. You never know who else might know this movie.

This movie totally sucks. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact.

Eh, originally this post was a little more scathing than it needed to be. So I'll just say I don't like it when people tout their opinions as facts, especially so smugly.
