Mindwarp (1992)

the audience applauded

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Mindwarp sucks!!! First of all, the whole film plays as an illusion which indicates that whatever I watched was meaningless. I hate that stupid ass $#!+!!!! Another thing I hated is how misleading the title and cover art is which lead me to believe this was going to focus on technological dependency but the majority of the film is wasteland post apocalyptic crap which never happens. The only thing good about this movie is the gore which never happened!!!!!! You know what? Screw this waste of life.

Although not very sophisticated, this movie was supposed to be quite interesting. Some idiot in a forum mentioned it, otherwise i wouldn't know about it. I saw it in 2014, which means 22 years after it was made. Why would i want to see a 1992 movie in 2014? Well, i thought it was going to be some type of futuristic dystopia film. I thought i would check out what a 1992's take of such a future would be.In the beginning of the film i thought i was going to watch an interesting approach to a futuristic film. But almost immediately, the film turned into a weirdo cheap-horror type b-grade movie, with very stupid moments, incredibly ridiculous costumes and a scenario that really disappointed me.Overall a disappointment. I would not waste time on this if i was you, do something more productive, like scratching your back with a plastic hand or something.

First time I saw Mindwarp on the TV, I kinda hated it. Mostly because I thought it was a cheap and gaudy film, made grotesque by the excess of blood and gore, with ideas that were interesting but never profound. Despite disliking the film, however, it stuck with me, partly because it did have scenes and ideas that were inherently interesting and worth watching, and mostly because this is actually one hard film to find on home video. I have never seen a DVD release for this film; it's currently only available on VHS, or, shockingly, as a limited-edition Twilight Time Blu-Ray. That brief showing on TV was my one and only exposure to this movie, up until I got my mitts on Blu-Ray #471 of 3,000.To be fair, the movie makes for a fine piece of pulply schlock sci-fi, the likes of which could make for a great comic strip in the Heavy Metal magazine, or a short story in some anthology. As a film, it has some promise; the bulk of it takes place in a nightmarish post-apocalyptic wasteland, full of bloodthirsty cannibals, parasitic fish, and sick cults. This hard-edged adventure is book-ended by a really slick bit of utopic cyberpunk, for even though the world has been nuked, a number of inhabitants spend their time in a virtual dream-world. Sound familiar? It makes me wonder if Mindwarp could have been an influence on the Watchowskis when writing The Matrix saga...The film is neat, and its story is inherently sound. What makes it work are its characters; it is interesting to watch the main heroine get a serious dose of reality when she's expelled from her utopic home and forced to confront the harsh realities of a nuclear wasteland. Things come in full circle by the end, thanks to a neat little plot twist, but the overall message never felt right to me (almost an antithesis to The Matrix, which was all about liberation). That's really the only problem I see with the plot: a certain lack of refinement, for despite the key themes of reality and fantasy, and the coming of age, the film seems really small in scale and it seems like some things could have been better.The film is as I remember: gaudy and ugly. It's filmed with adequate photography and editing, but most of the settings, props, and locales appear cheap, drab, and somewhat ugly. Even the futuristic scenes in the utopic city are rather ugly-looking. Acting and writing are rather weak all around; Bruce Campbell is a pretty standard hero guy here. Despite a few iffy lines, I was rather fond of Marta Martin. Angus Scrimm steals the show throughout. Music for this film is rather gaudy too.To me, this film has always been the pure definition of a B-movie: cheap, ugly, gory, strangely hard-to-find, and strangely somewhat hard to forget. For those who have an interest in such low-grade cinema, or are a fan of the actors, or just want a good piece of trashy pulp sci-fi, Mindwarp should be worth a look, if you can find it.3/5 (Entertainment: Pretty Good | Story: Average | Film: Poor)

This is a great horror movie with a little action. I enjoy to watch it. There was so many disgusting things, like blood and some ugly bugs coming out off guy's mouth. This movie is about girl named Judy who was living in small room with her mother. And all other normal people were living the same. Outsaid there was happening horrible things and because of that all people lived in virtual reality. The main bad guys were zombies drinking blood and looking horrible. This movie is real cool. Marta Alicia was good actress and I would like to know more about her. All other actors were also good. I also liked the idea of this movie. It's really better than nowadays horror movies. If you want to see really scary film, you should watch it.
