The high-school student James "Jim" Majelewski (Tom Bresnahan) is a troublemaker bad boy, playing prank at school. The Principal summons his parents and explains that Jim will be suspended and will not graduate, unless he goes to the Psychological Research Institute (PRI) to be submitted to a treatment by the famous Dr. Anthony Blakely (David Gale). Their parents are forced to send Jim to the PRI and the nurse Vivian (Christine Kossack) welcomes him. Dr. Blakely connects Jim to a huge brain and he has dreadful hallucinations. He flees from the PRI and meets his girlfriend Janet (Cynthia Preston) and his best friends Willie (Bret Pearson) and Becky (Susannah Hoffmann) at the dinner where they work. However, Dr. Blakely's assistant Verna (George Buza) arrives and abducts Jim back to the institute. Soon he discovers the true intention of Dr. Blakely and his brain.
"The Brain" is a sci-fi-horror movie that recalls the films from the 50's. The plot is funny, and The Brain is very trashy. The idea is a teen version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with a brain dominating people through television. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Cérebro" ("The Brain")
Note: On 16 May 2024, I saw this film again.
