An arrogant scientist brings his fiancée back from the dead in this vintage cult horror film. Dr. Bill Cortner (Jason Evers, here billed as Herb Evers) performs medical experiments despite the trepida... read more
Of all the movies I've been seeing lately of this type that had any potential of being a classic, I think The Brain That Wouldn't Die probably has the most potential. If they had shifted the story around a bit instead of just playing all of the scenes in order, it could have been... read more
The Brain That Wouldn't Die is a perfect example of what a B-Movie is: Boring script, slow pacing, and actors that make Tommy Wiseau look good. Now, the film is important to those that have loves for anything science fiction related, but not much else. Now, do I recommend this fi... read more
I thought this was a very cool mad scientist horror movie, but then they kept playing on TV all the time, and I got annoyed with it. Anyway, the story is good, and the ending is great, but they could have better actors. Overall a good movie, it reminds you of the fifties horror... read more
Once again...
If it wasn't for Elvira's intermissions and asides, there would be no reason for sitting through this.
I fun idea...but cheaply made, badly paced, hammily acted and about an hour too long.
The video picture that I saw for this movie actually shows the mutant that is withheld until the very end of the movie. That's gotta be the first time I ever saw a spoiler right there on the box cover. Anyway, I think what I like most about this movie is it's seriousness. That... read more
Lessons learned:
1. Don't keep your fiance's severed head alive in the laboratory.
2. Don't keep failed experiments (i.e. mutant cyclops-looking monsters) locked in the closet.
3. When making a horror film, budget more than $36.50 for special effects.
The moving story of a doctor, a tragically maimed girl, a disembodied head kept alive in a cake pan, and a mutant in a closet. If that doesn't wet your whistle nothing will.
If you've ever seen "Frankenhooker" or "The Man with Two Brains", this will seem like a much poorer, lower-budget, black and white version of the same thing.
It was obviously the film that inspired them though and is a nice example of trashy early 60s B movies even if it is a bi... read more
One crazy, cheesy movie. I laughed at some of the really cheesy parts, too.
The plot is weird: A scientist's girlfriend gets decapitated in a car accident, so he hooks her head up to a machine while he looks for a nice body to cut off and use for his girlfriend's head. Hmmm.
Anyw... read more
Not as good as 'Aby-Normal', but fun.
Pretty awful in its un-MST3Ked incarnation.
One of the campiest of all the tacky, cheapo horror films. This is so entertainingly bad, that's it's good. A true guilty pleasure!
Oh, it died.
Wow!
Hey, they mocked it on MST3K for good reason!
MST'd films should NEVER be viewed sans MST.
The outright stupidity of the production is entertaining at first, but becomes tiresome
