Plot Outline
Magdalena Welling was not always a recluse, living in an abandoned warehouse, surrounded by outdated computers and archaic medical equipment. Before the accident.
Now, after 4 years of groundbreaking work, she's made a breakthrough, a discovery so great it could change the face of science. But it will also require taking a risk so great that Magdalena's world will never be the same!
Reviews
"You've got to check out MAGDALENA'S BRAIN." Moon Yun, Ain't it Cool News
"Not your typical low budget genre picture. It's striving for something deeper and smarter and it demands that viewers adjust their expectations accordingly." Jeff Allard, Undertakerslounge.com
"An evocative tale of technology run amuck and human hope unhinged. One could easily see this entire effort being expanded upon by a full-blown Tinseltown treatment. The idea is so interesting, the execution so expert, that all you'd need is a pair of name celebrities and the box office receipts would be more or less guaranteed. In the meantime, we have this wonderfully evocative low-budget offering to enjoy. Here's hoping Magdalena's Brain gets the recognition it so richly deserves." Judge Gibson, DVD Verdict
"The locations are surreal dream-like places, sterile and nearing perfection, reminiscent of Italian Giallos and Kubrick films." Ron Cotton, 10K Bullets.com
"[Langford and Amerman] have crafted a story brimming with intelligence, they have collected a group of noteworthy performers, they have used stunningly sparse visuals. This is smart, character-driven science fiction ... and it works." David Cornelius, Hollywood Bitchslap.com
"Magdalena's Brain is part technological Gothic and part The Twilight Zone." Glenn Erickson, DVD Savant
"At last, a 'Brain' movie with brains and a backbone. MAGDALENA’S BRAIN is the smartest of its breed since DONOVAN’S BRAIN. This deceptively linear cinematic head-trip delivers a quick hit to the cerebellum before it's through." Stephen R. Bissette, Taboo, Swamp Thing, Video Watchdog, Fangoria
"A moody sci-fi drama pocked with nasty/unsettling moments." Fangoria Magazine
