Brain Dead [Blu-ray]
101 Films presents Brain Dead, a mind-bending nightmare based on a story from The Twilight Zone writer Charles Beaumont, starring Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Bill Paxton (Aliens), Bud Cort (Harold and Maude) and George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke).
The Eunice Corporation is on the ground floor of an exciting growth industry, utilizing a memory re-sculpting technique pioneered by eccentric neurosurgeon Rex Martin (Bill Pullman). It envisions nationwide clinics where anyone can lose the hang-ups of an unhappy childhood, a failed romance, or a botched career. At Eunice’s “New You” outlets, a simple operation will give customers peace of mind. Or it might leave them brain dead. But when Martin refuses to cooperate with Eunice, he soon finds himself plunged into a surreal existence that intertwines dreams and reality. Has Martin slipped over the edge into madness? Or have corporate profit mongers given him a push, making him the guinea pig in his own experiment? To know the answer is to know true terror!
