Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

pesic-1 This is one of Campbell's best films, that actually benefits from the low budget. The casting is good, the production team is competent, Bulgaria is... Bulgaria. However, there are moments when direction becomes underwhelming or when the script shows certain weaknesses. With a better director and after a re-write of the script the film could have become a classic. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining film that knows exactly what it is, and it never gets boring. One of my personal objections is that the mad scientist isn't really that mad, and that his laboratory looks unbelievably dull. Also, his assistant is not given enough to do in the film, which is a shame. Ultimately the Russian guy steals the show, and it doesn't feel that much like a Bruce Campbell film. Interestingly enough, at times Campbell looks like John Cleese, which is weird.

bazmitch23 I'm an Evil Dead fan and a few years ago, I ordered this DVD from America. The first time I watched it, I thought "Yeah, it was........ good. I guess." I watched it again over and over and every time I did, my love for this film decreased. It's so boring and unfunny. It's really slow and nothing exciting or memorable happens in it. Even if you are a Bruce fan, you might not like it.The jokes have been done before. Ted Raimi's character is not funny. He speaks in rapper talk. His scenes are just dull. We get some slapstick from Bruce that is also unfunny. He does reference Evil Dead here and now, but you'll be yawning so much, you won't care.Because this is a TV movie, it's really cheap. The music and editing are all crap. You feel like you're watching a bad Hallmark film.There is nothing memorable or exciting in this film. If you can call it a "film".Is there anything good in it? Well, Stacy Keach and Antionette Byron are really good in this. Other than that, Man With The Screaming Brain is just forgettable. Bruce fans, just watch Evil Dead or Bubba Ho-Tep instead.

turicsa What can i say, if you are going to watch this movie expecting a "serious" plot, or anything close to that, then this movie is clearly not for you.But if you'd like to see some kind of completely-bizarre-science fiction-soap-opera-comedy, with the (even more bizarre) acting of, Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi.... Then (AND ONLY THEN) you might enjoy this film.I sat to watch this movie with not very good expectations (at all), everyone told me it was garbage, even for a Bruce Campbell fan. They said it was boring, and i must say: the story doesn't have much to show us, but i didn't get bored, not for more than 5 minutes, and i mean it. Despite it's very very very weak plot, the movie is fun to watch and even some of the problems Bruce goes through (consequence of having half of his brain, and the other half from a Russian cab driver) are actually pretty funny. Anyway, when i finished watching the movie, i felt like i watched an ULTRA-BIZARRE-SOAP OPERA, "SOAP OPERA" being the key word here.Not Bruce's best movie (far from it), but all in all, it's OK.5/10 i don't know how to call this... i'll label it as WATCHABLE.

Lee Eisenberg Or if you've seen the "Evil Dead" trilogy and/or "Bubba Ho-Tep", then you should know that his movies are total farces. With "Man with the Screaming Brain", he goes all out again. In this case, he plays smarmy American businessman William Cole visiting Bulgaria - when do we ever get to see that country? - when a woman kills him. So, strange scientist Ivan Ivanov (Stacy Keach) replaces half of Cole's brain with the brain of a former KGB agent, leaving him acting sort of like Steve Martin in "All of Me".Yes, the whole movie is pretty much an excuse for pure nonsense. Much of the real humor comes from "Evil Dead" director Sam Raimi's brother Ted as Ivanov's nearly brain-dead assistant Pavel. The two men have a relationship more like Laurel and Hardy or Gilligan and the Skipper.So just understand that this is a totally silly movie, and you won't be a bit disappointed. I liked it, anyway.
