It envisions nationwide clinics where anyone can lose the hang-ups of an unhappy childhood, a failed romance, or a botched career. Dr. Rex Martin (Bill Pullman) is employed there as a neurologist who is trying to find the part of the brain that causes paranoia. He performs an experimental operation on John Halsey (Bud Cort)--a mathematician who went crazy and murdered his family--which eliminates Halsey's paranoia, but once the operation is compete, it appears that the madness has taken over Martin's psyche. Martin then finds himself in an asylum experiencing hallucinations from Halsey's point of view. [More]

Reviews for Brain Dead
Only the two Bills [Pullman and Paxton] keep this one from flat-lining

Heck, I could sit through a movie a whole lot worse than this one just to see a pair of my favorite actors banter back and forth.
