‘The Forest Hills’ – Edward Furlong and Jamie Marsh Discuss the Film’s ‘Brainscan’ Reunion [Exclusive]
Scott Goldberg‘s The Forest Hills will bring together Edward Furlong (Terminator 2), Dee Wallace (The Howling), and Shelley Duvall (The Shining), and Bloody Disgusting has learned that Jamie Marsh (The Forsaken, Killer App, X-Files, Best Laid Plans) has joined the cast as well. Marsh, you may recall, starred alongside Furlong in the 1994 horror movie Brainscan!
Almost 30 years later, Edward Furlong and Jamie Marsh just reunited on the set of The Forest Hills, and Bloody Disgusting has been provided with exclusive on-set interview footage.
“We’re both frankly shocked that Brainscan has held up this well,” Marsh admits. Furlong adds, “It was crazy. It didn’t do well at all… it bombed. And it’s just weird how some movies, they just have legs on ’em.” You can watch the video interview with Furlong and Marsh below.

The Forest Hills follows Rico (Chiko Mendez), a man who is tormented by nightmarish visions after enduring head trauma while hiking in the Catskills.
Edward Furlong plays the role of Billy, a man who influences Rico to believe that he can become a werewolf. And we hear Furlong transforms into a werewolf in the movie.
Director/Producer/Writer Scott Goldberg tells Bloody Disgusting, “For the transformation process throughout the film, we are doing all practical special effects. There is absolutely no CGI for the transformation sequences because we grew up watching films in the early 80s that had to create the horror through practical special effects.”
‘Brainscan’ (1994)
Released in 1981, the original Canadian slasher classic My Bloody Valentine spawned a Hollywood remake (My Bloody Valentine 3D) in 2009, but it’s now been 15 years since we’ve heard a peep from the franchise about a sadistic and bloodthirsty miner with a pick(axe) to grind. But as “The Ballad of Harry Warden” once told us, it’s a curse that will live on and on…
And the My Bloody Valentine franchise does indeed plan to live on, as Bloody Disgusting has exclusively learned that Blumhouse is developing a brand new My Bloody Valentine movie.
Stay tuned for more information as we learn it.
My Bloody Valentine is one of those franchises that never was, with both the original movie and the 2009 remake failing to spawn follow-up movies. That’s despite Lionsgate’s My Bloody Valentine 3D scaring up $100 million at the worldwide box office, and the original becoming a classic that horror fans enjoy watching every time the calendar flips to February 14.
George Mihalka directed the original 1981 movie. In the film, “A decades-old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine’s Day turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer’s order and people start turning up dead.”
Directed by Patrick Lussier, the 3D remake follows a similar storyline. “Tom returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine’s night massacre that claimed the lives of 22 people. Instead of a homecoming, Tom finds himself suspected of committing the murders, and it seems like his old flame is the only one that believes he’s innocent.”
“In this little town when the 14th comes ’round, there’s a silence and fear in the air…”
