The Brain is a 1988 Canadian science fiction horror film depicting a giant brain-like alien that terrorizes. The film has developed a small cult following.[1]

Plot

Dr. Blakely runs a TV show called "Independent Thinkers", which is a Scientology-like self-help/religion program. But he's not making his audience think any more independently - with the help of an alien organism he calls The Brain, he's using brainwashing and mind control. The only thing that stands between them and world domination is a brilliant but troubled high school student with a penchant for pranks.

Cast

Release

The movie was released on videocassette and laserdisc in 1989 by International Video Entertainment.[2] The movie was officially released on DVD in the UK in late 2011 by Boulevard Entertainment, but has since gone out of print.
