Joy N. Houck Jr. directed this interesting horror film about several people chosen to participate in a top secret Government experiment involving a machine that can read your inner most thoughts.
The story starts with a scientist, the one who invented the machine stealing his own creation and trying to keep it away from people. He is hunted down by agents of the US Government who want the machine in use. They kill him and the experiment proceeds as planned, but with a lot of cover up and double cross.
The four people involved are put in a room and their brains are scanned to see if they are being truthful or not. Slowly but surely they turn on one another, but the top government people do not stop the experiment. They want the Brain Machine to keep the population in check. As one agent says "total surveillance is freedom".
Tings continue to go horrible wrong until all are killed in a very downbeat and scary ending. Even though many have died the Government considers the machine to be a success and move it to another location.
This review is a very simplified form of what really goes on in the movie, but I don't want to give too much away, and I really liked it and if you haven't seen it I recommend that you do.
This filmed in Mississippi obscurity stars James Best, Barbara Burgess, Gerald McRaney, Doug Collins and Stuart Lancaster in a great role. It's available on a lot of PD sets so check it out and decide for yourself.
