Brain Dead is a strange and unusual horror movie. Sometimes it's a bit campy, other times it's seriously artistic, and constantly it keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. Pullman and Paxton are fabulous.

Surreal in a pretty fun way, but not everyone can be Terry Gilliam. Some good imagery and a Bill v Bill cast, but ultimately it doesn't really add up to much.

A hugely underrated movie that addresses the question of reality, identity, and the self more ably than 12 Monkeys and the Matrix.

About a possible conspiracy and numerous dreams within dreams where Bill Pullman finds himself not knowing who he is, this film does try its hardest to be interesting, but its far more concerned with trying to keep the viewer guessing than being an interesting film about ideas. Without anything substantial to the twists and turns of the film, there is no point in caring about it.

The twists and turns laid out by Twilight Zone contributor Beaumont make this well worth watching. The fact that Pullman and Paxton are together at last will almost force you to see it.

Much better than the 17% Rotten tomatoes score would have you believe. It's a bit of a conceptual mess, but it's entertaining enough.

The comedy version of Jacob's Ladder kind of. Or the serious version of The Man with Two Brains. Whatever you want. It's trippy and neat.
