The Brink Trailers

Thomas Alva Edison died on October, 1931, but not before completing his greatest invention; a device for talking to the dead. Thought to be lost forever, Megan Goss, a gifted engineering student, tracks down the legendary blueprints. She rallies a group of friends to build it in a dilapidated house. What she doesn't tell the others is that this house has a history steeped in blood. A family brutally killed one another within its walls, and now that evil force lies in wait for someone to breach the tenuous membrane between worlds. Four students will learn some things are better left unknown when the flip of a switch frees a terror that forces them to the brink... and beyond.

Four college kids from an unnamed college (Miskatonic?) obtain the prints for Thomas Edison's ghost radio. They set the machine up in a creepy old house (electric still being on) to contact the spirits.The film was short and low budget. It reminded me of other science fiction low budget films which smartly utilized few actors, one space to shoot, and limited props. Better dialogue could of helped. Not a bad film, just not particularly overly entertaining.Guide F-word. Brief nudity (Catherine Barlow)

The BRINK www.thunderheadstudios.com/brink A Ben Cooper film Starring Rachel Balzer and Mitch Toles Very scary film, Great acting and just looked good. Any project that uses Thomas Edison in a horror plot, Hey, where could they go wrong. There is be-headings, Multiple drownings and some truly shocking scenes. Script was by John Bowker and Cooper. Rachel Balzer is very good,Almost a Winona Ryder from Beetlejuice/Wednesday from the Munsters take. That Mitch Toles,He works a lot must be talented, Huh ! I keep looking on Ebay for one of these Edison " Talk To The Dead " phones, No luck yet. The shocker could be "HEY",Was this like Sam Raimi's Evil Dead or James Cameron's Titanic ?

A back of my DVD proudly claims:a brilliant engineering student named Megan sets out to find the blueprints for the device that Thomas Edison completed right before his death;a device for talking to the dead.She assembles a group of friends to help her build it in a dilapidated house,never sharing with them the history of the building;a family brutally murdered one another within its walls years ago and they're just itching for a trip back to the other side.The device they put together allows that trip to happen and a very disturbed evil finds its way to our world."The Brink" is a watchable indie horror flick with some idiotic moments and pretty strong acting.The budget is tiny,the plot is routine and there is a minimal amount of blood.Worth a rental but nothing more.

This movie sucked. There are these 4 college students (all relatively intelligent) who want to speak to the dead(apparently while Thomas Edison was inventing the phonograph and the light bulb, he also invented a machine to speak to the dead). Why do they want to speak to the dead? Who the hell knows. I say wait a few years...you'll get there, First they go to this horrible abandoned house, then the build the machine and then when it works the "fun" starts. For a horror movie to be worth the time there has to be either one of two things...good story, or lots of people to kill. Since this one had neither, I will say no more. If I could meet the director, I would say "Watched White Noise did we?" and slap him briskly across the face with a glove.
