Review of The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962) by Allan C — 27 Oct 2018

Iconic campy sci-fi/horror film about a mad scientist who keeps his girlfriend's head alive following a car crash. The next step, of course, is to find a new body The film is nowhere as scary as a Val Lewton horror film and is nowhere as engrossing as say "The Fly," but it's undeniably entertaining to listen to the severed head on a table verbally spar with the mad doctor.

It's almost a grind house version of "Death and the Maiden." The film's blatant pandering by including extreme, for it's time, levels of sex and violence (besides the severed head, there's a stripper fight and also a "camera club" scene).

Oh, and the mad scientist also keeps an earlier experiement gone wrong locked up in his laboratory, which looks like a taller slimmer version of Sloth from "The Goonies." Badly acted, badly written, and badly directed, but there's something undeniably watchable about this terrible film.
