Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesMichel Simon, a major star in France at the time, had used some tainted makeup on a previous film that had resulted in his body and face becoming temporarily partially paralyzed. Since that time he had been unable to find work and took a role in this low-budget German horror film because he needed the money and only his head would be shown, and he didn't think a film of this caliber, which could adversely affect his career, would be seen on the rest of the continent. Unfortunately he was wrong, and the film was in fact a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
- PatzerWhen Bert begins playing his flute, he abruptly stops, but his music continues playing.

Ausgewählte Rezension
An entertaining slice of West German schlock
The Head is a sort of Euro variant on the cult schlockfest The Brain that Wouldn't Die. Similar to that one, it's a little salacious for its time and it prominently features disembodied heads held captive in laboratories by mad doctors. This one isn't as good as its American counterpart to be fair but it's still pretty decent all things considered. It was made in West Germany and it's a sci-fi horror about head transferral experiments. The odd Doctor Ood keeps his recently deceased dead colleague Doctor Able's head alive, much to the powerless Able's annoyance! Meanwhile, a hunchback nurse who Ood is infatuated with is given a stripper's body by our mad scientist.
Horst Frank plays Ood. He played a flamboyantly homosexual scientist in Dario Argento's giallo The Cat o' Nine Tails. He's a pretty decent actor and he is good value for money here, although it's not really a film that relies on acting performances in all honesty. The soundtrack was also quite notable also for being much better than most from the time. It really added a lot to the atmosphere. Overall, though, The Head possibly peters out a bit towards the end and loses a bit of its earlier impetus which is unfortunate but there was enough entertaining schlock earlier to keep me happy for the most part.
