A giant mutant brain terrorizes Canadians at Christmastime! BUT THAT’S ONLY THE BEGINNING!!

A group of teens stumble on a mad scientist (David Gale, Re-Animator) who is attempting to control people’s minds via a public access TV show. And this somehow leads to a goop-filled, multi-tentacled mutant brain that eats a guy, throws a woman out of a window, and forces neighbors to commit chainsaw murders. Combining teen angst from Over the Edge, conspiracy theories that out-strangeStranger Things, and monster effects that feel like outtakes from Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Brain is a one-in-a-zillion trash-horror treasure chest. This movie also features one of the greatest lines of dialogue that you’ll hear this year: “You think you’re in America? Well, you’re not -- you’re in high school!”
