Someone on Twitter was amused that I referred to "14 year old BC" as if he was a different person, but in many ways "he" is. Not only have my sensibilities changed, but my entire life is different. Case in point: I couldn't convince my mom to drive me to the theater to see In The Mouth of Madness when it came out in theaters, and thus the first time I got to see it in 35mm is when I hosted a screening with the film's producer (Sandy King, who came again for last night's Vampires - thanks to everyone who attended!). Thus, when I revisit movies I didn't like as a kid, I often find myself appreciating them more, because not only is my life completely different and my tastes have vastly changed/"matured", but I'm also looking at them from the perspective of someone who at least knows WHY a movie can turn out bad. However, Brainscan is not one of those movies.

If you trawl through the archives on IMDB, you’ll see that there is a list under the tag “Ship Horror”. It contains 131 titles. But after reading through the entire list, you’ll feel none the wiser about ship horror. Is it actually a subgenre of horror movies? Movies like Jaws, the Poseidon Adventure, the Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon make the list, and they don’t necessarily feel like ship horror (some don’t feel like horror, for that matter).
