Mind Ripper (1995)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good movie but grossly overrated

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

MInd Ripper is a ridiculous, clumsy, sloppily directed B movie from Joe Gayton. Written by Jonathan Craven (son of the late great Wes Craven) Mind Ripper is a film about an underground government research team, that attempt to reanimate a corpse, only for their creation to backfire and kill them. The film is a not so subtle re-telling of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein. The only difference being this monster has a penis that comes out of his mouth, that sucks out peoples brains. ( and yes I'm laughing as I type this.)This film feels as though it only got funded due to Wes Craven's name being attached to the project. That's not too say the film is completely joyless. Lance Henriksen and Claire Stansfield do a great job of taking the material somewhat serious, and they manage to keep a straight face through-out. The rest of the cast is pretty bland though, and there's not much to add.This is the sort of film where you either accept the ludicrous premise and go along with it. Or you don't and have to fight the urge to turn the film off at every stupid moment that occurs in the film. For the most part I went along with it, and in the end it's nothing more then a campy schlockfest, that has its characters run around the same poorly lit corridors for ninety minutes.

I just bought this as part of a Wes Craven DVD box set (along with Scream, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Last House on the Left) and felt ever so slightly conned. The film is not directed by Wes Craven (he has an executive producer credit) and a dream box set would omit this sci-fi B-movie in favour of Nightmare on Elm Street (I would settle for The People Under the Stairs). With that being said, this is an ideal film for watching with a gang of drunk mates after a night in the pub. It's a creature feature in a remote claustrophobic environment and it ticks along quite nicely on a sub-Alien template, taking advantage of all the usual sci-fi horror clichés. The monster is cheap but effective and it is sympathetically played. The rest of the characters are just monster fodder and are badly underwritten, though a father-son theme breaks through to complement the monster-creator theme. Lance Henrikson, the brunette girl in the shower, and the bloke who plays Phoebe's brother in Friends are worth watching. The rest of the cast stink. There are enough gruesome moments to keep a drunken audience's interest. It's also fun ticking off the clichés as they mount up, and laughing at the obvious dialogue. I defy anyone (after a few drinks) not to laugh at the last scene.So not a classic sci-fi horror, but an entertaining mess of a movie with redeeming qualities, best viewed with friends and alcohol.

This is great, has a great story and a great monster. The characters do sometimes feel unbelievable and are never developed but the action is amazing. Starts slow and the story was a quite jumbled, but all comes together in the end, and from can be quite unpredictable. Watch it you will love it

A scientific experiment designed to create a superhuman being has gone wrong.The creators become trapped in a remote desert outpost,pursued relentlessly and mercilessly by their own creation.James Stockton,the scientist whose research was used despite his protests to create the monster,is called the outpost to help undo the horror that now lurks somewhere within the dark halls.James,together with his son and daughter,soon find themselves trapped inside with the others,trying desperately to survive.And with the outpost sealed from within,there is no way out..."The Outpost"/"Mind Ripper" is highly unoriginal.The sets are pretty claustrophobic and there's a bit of gore.However as a horror it fails miserably on almost all levels.There's zero suspense,the script is weak and filled with big holes and the ending is extremely predictable.So-called master Wes Craven produced this one-I wonder if he is happy with this trash.Joe Gayton directs without any style.The acting is horrible,only Lance Henriksen can act at all.OK,I'm a big horror fan and was bitterly disappointed.Avoid it like the plague-it's just the same old boring crap again!
