3.0 out of 5 stars
Very surprising DTV horror flick , a lot of praise, June 21, 2001
This review is from: Mind Ripper [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I was extremely surprised at the high quality of this DTV (direct to video)horror flick.At first glance,I could almost guarantee myself I was not going to like it,especially having seen another similar awful film called The Fear recently.But then again,with a title that stupid,of course I was going to feel inclined to turn away.I mean it,what a stupid title,The Mind Ripper!Anyone who saw it with a title like that would instantly dismiss it as cheap pap.If they had given it the title The Outpost like over in America,I think a lot more people would have given this extremely pleasantly surprising little flick a chance.The story is original,well thought out,with characters you can really care about.It's amazing how much you end up feeling for the brother character,especially towards the end where he breaks down in tears while admitting his feelings to his sister.The monster is very impressive for the no doubt small budget the film had,and the running time is well adjusted at just over an hour and a half.If you come across this,please don't be put off by that stupid title,give it a chance,it's really worth seeing.

Hmmmmm?, February 27, 2000
This review is from: Mind Ripper [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I found this film a bit boring to be honest and although Wes Craven had a little involvement, it was his son who produced this film. The whole thing was like ALIEN because of the environment and the acting was not all that good except for Lance Henriksen who has starred in so many top movies. MIND RIPPER is a film that I could'nt watch more than twice and a lot of people may find it a complete bore, but still, the F/X/ are not too bad.

If you love horror movies with laughable scenes, don't waste your time on this movie. It is literally the worst movie I've ever seen. I love horror movies but hated this one.
