Incredibly Bad... :=8P
14 April 2000
Dreadful, awful, terrible early 70's AIP monster flick that is sooooo bad, it almoost defies description. Wacko Bruce Dern("Silent Running", "The Wild Angels", "Bloody Mama") plays a wacko doctor who enjoys transplanting heads on EVERYTHING. Why he has this fixation for two heads, and cow this cud possibly benefit mankind, is never explained. Well, it isn't long before Dern tries it on humans, putting the head of over-the-top psycho Albert Cole("Dracula VS Frankenstein")onto the shoulders of hulking, retarded John Bloom("Dracula VS Frankenstein", "Brain of Blood"). The usual mayhem follows, as the slow, hulking monster(obviously the 2 guys pressed together)wants to kill, kill, kill. Oily Casey Kasem(an oily 70's dj) co-stars as Dern's oil college friend, and snuggly Pat Priest(tv's "Munsters")plays semi-robed, gratuitous platinum-blonde eye candy. Sports some of the foulest 70's funk/disco/porn incidental moosic in history(including the number "It's Incredible", sung by Bobbie Boyle), some laughably cheap 2-headed fx, and some of the least believable policemen you'll ever likely to see. Director Anthony Lanza("The Glory Stompers") was Ray Dennis Steckler's film editor for "Wild Guitar", and worked on udder trash gems such as "The Nasty Rabbit" and "Deadwood '76". His film looks like a moulding, yellowing home moovie, shot in someone's garage, basement, and backyard. You can almoost smell the urine stains coming off this one... :=8P This is "Manos" country, folks, they don't come moooch cheaper, stupider, or uglier than this. Hulking Bloom went on to play slow, hulking monsters in several laughable horror films in the 70'. The MooCow says this tortuous transplant tripe shoulda' been MST3K'ed, early and often! Check it out at yer own risk! :=8P
