It’s Bruce Campbell… It’s 1992… It’s Army of Darkness Mindwarp!

VCR Party had a pre-Halloween movie marathon, showing assorted horror ‘gems’ found on VHS. I caught only this and Razor Blade Smile.

Stack of VHS cassettes films shown in VCR Party's movie marathon: Soul Snatcher, Razor Blade Smile, Mindwarp, The Whispering, Club Vampire, Dracula: Dark Prince

Mindwarp was produced by Fangoria (yes, the magazine) and combines straight-to-video’s favourite genre, post-apocalyptic action, with the 90s’ favourite gimmick, virtual reality, and adds a lot of gore to the mix.

Judy tires of her meaningless VR life safe underground in a community of wealthy post-apocalyptic survivors and wants to live a real life. In a case of “be careful what you wish for”, the VR’s sysop dumps her in the post-apocalyptic wasteland full of mutants, cannibals and… Bruce Campbell disguised as an ewok?

Plenty of gore, clichés and chin!

    On the poster, the port’s quite large but in the film they look more like VGA ports. Can’t find a screenshot, tho.
