In the film, "Imagine a pulsating mass of grey matter, expanding in size and strength as it takes control of human minds and devours human bodies. It could never happen, right? Just watch Independent Thinking, starring Dr. Anthony Blakely (David Gale, Re-Animator), a hot TV programme. But as the show’s ratings continue to soar, so does the suicide and murder rate among its viewers. What they don’t know is that Dr. Blakely has teamed with an alien brain and plans to gain control of all humanity."
The Brain brings an overdose of cerebral terror and media mind control to Blu-ray on August 1st, 2022.
You can pre-order your copy today via the 101 Films webstore or Amazon.
Just in case you missed it, Scream Factory brought The Brain to Blu-ray for the very first time here in the states back in 2019.
