The Attack of the Brain People (2013 Video) User Reviews

Very Nice Work

[k-daniels1990 · 8/10 · 9 May 2014]

How are these guys not making movies in Hollywood? This film is twice as entertaining as anything Hollywood is offering and, for what I am guessing, they've done it on a very meager budget. Great parody of the golden era black and white creature features that so many of us love. Think The Brain From Planet Arous meets Ed Wood at a Jersey drive-in. The acting is very good, with all of the principles committed fully to the silliness and the dialogue is just as interesting. This movie has all the stock characters we associate with this type of movie. The scientists are a genuine laugh riot, as are the amazingly well done brain effects. The music that accompanies the action is one of the movies real strong points and I was thrilled to see that it was composed by some of the film makers themselves. I honestly thought that they had found the greatest and most genre appropriate pieces of public domain music ever. Hats off to all involved. One more thing, Samantha Quintana ( who plays the character Andie ) is without a doubt the most beautiful woman in todays independent film universe. A total stunner, with some impressive acting chops as well!

Nice and affectionate tribute to schlocky 50's sci-fi cinema

A small town gets invaded by evil brain-snatching aliens from beneath the earth's surface. It's up to young guy Bobby (likable Bradley Creanzo) to stop them before it's too late.

Writers/directors Louie Cortes and Lindsay Serrano peg with winning affection and enthusiasm the cheap'n'cheerful charm of vintage 50's low-budget sci-fi fare: The wonky electronic score, funky old school practical (not so) special effects (the wires that pull the disembodied brains around can be clearly viewed in quite a few shots!), hysterical use of obvious stock footage, entertaining array of stock characters, paranoid remarks about communism, and crisp black and white cinematography all evoke that nifty 50's decade something sweet. Moreover, the eager cast attack their juicy roles with infectious aplomb, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Ralph Merced as a no-nonsense scientist, Samantha Quintana as the feisty Andie, Christopher J. Murphy as the gung-ho Uncle Russ, and Jose Saavedra as the antsy Dr. Moranis. Good pulpy fun.

A Wonderful Retro 50's Horror/SyFy Soon to be Classic Movie !
