Review of Brain Damage (1988) by Sean L — 06 Aug 2009
As horror comedies from the eighties go, this movie can't hold up next to the masterpieces of the genre like Evil Dead 2 and Re Animator, but it is good fun nonetheless. It's main strength is that it has one of the best horror villains ever.
Aylmer is a marvelous creation. He looks hilarious and freaky at the same time, and every line out of his mouth is pure gold. I love the nonchalant way he says "the girl whose brains I ate." It's one of the more bizarre films I've seen, but the craziness of it makes it memorable and special.
I definitely plan to check out Frank Henenlotter's other films.
