A lonely teenage horror-movie fan discovers a mysterious computer game that uses hypnosis to custom-tailor the game into the most terrifying experience imaginable. When he emerges from the hypnotic trance he is horrified to find evidence that the brutal murder depicted in the game actually happened -- and he's the killer.

T. Ryder SmithThe TricksterIs originally based on the computer-game "Brainwaves" (released as "Brainscanners" in Europe after the film was released).
Dr. Fromberg:
What was that you were watching, Mr. Brower?
Michael:
"Death, Death, Death..."
Dr. Fromberg:
'Death, Death, Death..."
Michael:
...Part 2"
Dr. Fromberg:
Oh my god. Tell me Michael, why do you watch these films?
Michael:
Really?
Dr. Fromberg:
Yes, I want to understand.
Michael:
Well, it's kind of an escape.
Dr. Fromberg:
An escape. Like lighting up a marijuana cigarette and escaping the real world? Like watching a pornographic sex film, getting an erection and raping someone?
Michael:
I don't think erections rape people, people rape people.
Continuity: SPOILER: Michael throws away and breaks the CD of Brainscan (and his computer) when he wakes up from the dream. The very next day when he gives the video game to his school principal the CD is not even scratched.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
