One of two K. Gordon movies you have to have..., 17 September 2006
10/10
Author: newportbosco from Canada

You LITERALLY cannot buy a bad copy of this one. A short version that used to be on VHS was the one you saw on t.v. as a kid...the longer DVD version, (and they ALL seem to clock in at 77 min) has some scenes that might have REALLY upset viewers on the tube in the 60's..woman seeing her husband already hanging from the shower upside down, dead, for instance..the new CASA release has all the extras you've always prayed for. But this is a MUST have..crazy dubbed script; someone inflating the head of The Brainiac with an air pump to TRY to make the rubber mask look spooky; burning people to death with flame throwers; Tikki/shag culture decor and leading actors, The Baron eating brains out of a dish he keeps at the side of the living room..and the sucking out of the brains themselves..Simply put: It's the best Mexican monster movie K. Gordon Murray imported. Get it. There is nothing like it.
