The son of a mass-murderer doctor escapes from the asylum and begins to take revenge on the hot young teens of the town that took down his father. Giggling all the way (in the creepy way, not like a schoolgirl), the 'Doctor' seeks to complete his father's work by performing the world's first heart transplant (even though the first was actually performed 25 years previously).
Review: The film that taught me not to look through keyholes, 'Dr. Giggles' was a staple of my childhood. Before I hit the double digits, my dad showed me this movie and I absolutely loved it. Even today, as an adult, I ignore all of the flaws (and there are plenty) and still totally dig it. It's kind of a more perverse, hilariously cheesy, and brutal 90s attempt at a 'Les yeux sans visage'-type film. . . only, without the care, love, and beauty. 'Dr. Giggles' is full of some fantastic one-liners ("Hello. This is your new doctor and I'm standing right behind you." / "If you think that's bad, wait till you get my bill." / "Have a heart." / "I know. It sucks."). While it certainly isn't an Oscar-winner, it's still a fantastically funny and violent cheesefest that really helps to define the '90s B-movies many love to look back on.
Final verdict: 7/10. I can't resist.
