Mind Games

About This Movie

Mind Games (1984) is this wild ride through the seedy underbelly of erotic cinema. It follows Brad Mason, a California dude, as he dives deep into a series of surreal and often bizarre escapades. The film is packed with a kind of disjointed charm, blending the absurdity of its settings—from pharaohs to sweaty locker rooms. The pacing feels frenetic at times, perfectly matching the chaotic nature of its narrative. Practical effects add a gritty texture, and there’s a certain rawness in the performances that gives it a unique flavor. It’s not just about the visuals; there’s this underlying exploration of desire that lurks beneath the surface, making it a distinctive piece in the genre.

Mind Games has had a rather elusive existence in the collector's market, with its format history showing some variations in VHS releases that appeal to niche enthusiasts. The scarcity of original prints adds to its allure, making it a point of interest for those who delve into the more obscure corners of 80s adult cinema. Collectors often appreciate its unique blend of surrealism and eroticism, which sets it apart from more mainstream titles of the era.
