The Brain (1988)

Released on video, sometime in December of 1988 in the US...

Filmed entirely in Canada.

The story: Jim is a smart teen but he also likes to have fun by causing mischief.

When Jim gets caught for a prank he pulls at school, his parents are advised that he must go to the local psychological institute for evaluation...

There, Jim is subject to some really strange brain wave tests conducted by the infamous, local TV show host/evangelist type Dr. Blakely.

The point is to get Jim to conform to another way of thinking.

But instead of the desired result, the tests only enlighten Jim about what's really going on.

The townspeople are being brainwashed by an alien-like brain whose intention is to take over the world, one clueless follower at a time...
