I think anyone with the ability to think and who was a doctor would surely know that this would end up badly, but then we would not have our very crazy and messed up movie, now would we? It was crazy and it was odd and not the best, but I still found it entertaining enough as we have a giant two headed man wandering the countryside as Bruce Dern, lab assistant with white gloves and Casey Kasem try to find the beast and recapture him because this walking abomination is surely helpful somehow...
The story, a man who is insane gets captured by the police and sent to a hospital for the mentally ill. Meanwhile, a guy comes to visit his friend because his wife is worried about him and considering he is grafting extra heads onto other bodies she has every right to be! I mean, he doesn't seem to be doing good experimental work so much as playing. Unfortunately, the crazy guy escapes as there is apparently only one guard on duty at the hospital and he goes back to killing where he is shot by the doctor as the crazy guy kidnapped the wife. The doctor's assistant talks the doctor into grafting crazy guy's head onto mentally disabled guy's body and a monstrosity is born!
The film has some odd performances, as Casey probably does the best job acting in this thing! Bruce Dern just seems completely out of it during much of the film. Then the fact that the mentally ill guy and crazy guy wake up sharing the same body and they both just kind of roll with it probably indicates the director just did not do the best job.
So, not great, but interesting and entertaining enough. Did not care for the ending as they basically omit the experiments the doctor did to protect his reputation and place all of the blame on the mentally challenged Danny who literally did not want to kill anyone. That too was strange as I would think the guy's head that was grafted on would have little to no power over the body. A lot of stuff makes little to no sense, but then neither does grafting a head of a psycho killer onto a man whose father asked you to take care of his son's body!
