About This Movie

Mindbender (1996) is this intriguing TV movie where the bizarre meets the cerebral. It’s all about the scientist Joe Hartman, who brings Uri Geller, that infamous psychic, into the American spotlight. The film has this peculiar pacing; it kind of lingers on moments of tension and intrigue, creating a meditative atmosphere. There’s an odd charm to the practical effects—nothing flashy, but they ground the supernatural elements in a way that feels almost retro. The performances, particularly from Geller, are a bit hit or miss, but they add to the film’s oddball vibe. The themes of belief and skepticism run deep, making you think about the nature of perception. It’s a curious watch, definitely has a vibe all its own.
