There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

"The Amazing Screw-On Head" is a 22-minute short film from almost 10 years ago and it has some famous names attached to it. Director Chris Prynoski may not be one of them, but other than him you will find Bryan Fuller, Paul Giamatti, Patton Osawlt, Mindy Sterling and Molly Shannon in the cast & crew list. I like almost all of them, but unfortunately still I was not really impressed by this one here. It has too much of everything, but does not elaborate convincingly in any area: superhero movie, drama, history, horror, comedy, fantasy... I wish it could have been more concrete in one of these and maybe done without 2 of the other influences. The animation style is also not exactly a favorite of mine, but that is a subjective perspective. Looking at the film's favorable rating, it appears that many think differently here. Still, I myself do not recommend the watch.

I'm pretty sure the creators sat down and made a list of everything cool they could think of. Zombies, werewolves, and vampires? Check. Super-heroes and mad scientists? Check. Hilarity and spoof? Check. Abraham Lincoln? Check.The best part was how much of it they were able to fit into 26 minutes, with barely enough time to laugh between such excellent dialog as "He was kidnapped by two old women... and a monkey." This would have been a GREAT television series. Oh well, some other time. Maybe it still has the opportunity to go the way of Family Guy and have a rebirth through DVD sales and rentals. So, yeah, get at 'em. This is as good as some of the best features of Adult Swim.--PolarisDiB

MTV showed potential with "Liquid Television" a few years ago (But never realized that potential). David Lynch proved that weirdness could survive at least one season with "Twin Peaks" and now finally animation AND storyline that truly raises the bar. Sure HBO had Spawn and it was edgy but this is the cream.... I would love to see more episodes of course (Mignolia is the new Kirby). What would be really nice is to see this on the big screen, Say before "Hellboy II", Sci-Fi could use this as a great advertising vehicle.One can only hope that this will lead the vanguard for more interesting projects in animation. I can only dream of a world where "Flaming Carrot" and "The Sandman" are animated fare. Something like "The Invisibles" ,"Preacher" or even the easily contemporary "Transmetropolitan" with Spider Jerusalem tapping away at his powerbook and creating havoc.Sorry, I strayed far....This Mignolia work is amazing and until I can get cable in the alternate universe this will whet my fanboy appetite.

This was the best show I've seen all summer. I didn't really know what to expect, and then managed to sit in some peace and quiet and watch it.Wow.A perfect 1/2 hour of television, no matter what the medium. The story moved, the look was unique, the dialogue, the framing, the voices... were all perfect. TV has come a long, long way....I sure hope this becomes a series.Kudos to Mike Mignola, Dark Horse, the team that did this gem, and sci-fi channel.Now...give us ...MORE :)
