tHIS IS A GOOD MOVIE
A friend recommended this to me because it contains both horror aspects and a heavy psychological theme.
I found myself drawn in within the first few minutes of the movie, and it kept me guessing and re-thinking throughout.
The characters were believable, even without much character development, and the plot was actually more decent than I expected.
little to unrealstic but great twist
With an eerieness reminiscent of the Friday the 13th and Halloween days of cinema, Mindhunters uses intense psychological along with disturbing horror sequences that will make even the most seasoned moviegoer flinch.
On the downside, the lack of serious character development may leave some wanting while the movies unpredictability completely makes up for any faults.
A must see for any horror fan looking for an intense mind trip that will keep you guessing until the very end!
This movie was horrible. The only good scene was the cigarette scene that and the closing credits. But the stiff acting the predictable plot twist and jsut terrible dialogue this movie is definte pass…Just Because Val Kilmer is in it does not make it a good movie.
entertaining movie…with a good twist.
Interesting psycho horror/thriller that shows a lot of new interesting ways to be killed. Loved it.
Mindhunters, probably inspired by The Usual Suspects, is nothing special and nothing new, but it offers enough happenings and mysteries to keep the audience entertained. And the last time I checked, I watch movies to be entertained, and there wasn’t a single moment where I was bored.
Maybe because my favorite genre is mystery thriller, I don’t know. I just like a good puzzle. That’s why House and Monk, and Mythbusters are the only shows I watch on television. And I wasn’t able to predict the twist ahead so that’s a good thing. Though Mindhunters was a good film, I don’t want anymore copycats and sequels and remakes. They always suck.
Though it was sold as a suspense/thriller with action interludes, this works much more effectively as a horror film . . .the conceot seems hackneyed at best, BUT the direction by the unpredictable Harlin actually allows this film to blossom into a film of menace that has haunting moments and some serious jolts. . . a well-funded, well-executed film that could have been much less in other hands . . . in fact, I’m sure the script was originally shopped as a low budget project . . . worth some time viewing
It was entertaining but that’s about it
Great Film.
A passable action movie that has some hints of horror and enough violence to keep things rolling. Some CGI and some of the mystery killer’s time frame and ability to accomplish some of the deathtraps was a bit distracting, but nothing too horrible. Decently acted, shot, and produced, and with some twists and turns that don’t cease to hold viewer’s attention throughout (big plus)–but just not something overly memorable or worth more than one viewing. Ok rental.
