D. Ceased It feels hard to review this movie because I can't honestly tell you what it's about. It's not really a story, much more random scenes loosely involving a "brainsucker" who drills people's brains out with a big, cartoonish drill thing.People just do random things in this movie, characters aren't really introduced nor developed. They just do random things, and mention this "bloodsucker", who is hardly shown in the movie. The sheriff, I think, makes the townsfolks deputies and they run wild. There's cuts to some radio talk show host who can't seem to stop breathing into the mic. There's some attempts at humor, but they're painfully unfunny. Some women says it's her son, but she dies off pretty quickly and pretty randomly. We get these terrible police, one with an absolutely terrible accent, chasing after a dance instructor and her boyfriend, when they reach an airport. One police officer finds out the brainsucker is his son, but this isn't really a twist and I don't really give a ####. They take off in a plane, and the brainsucker uses the drill to remove some white goop out of his head and releases it out of the plane.As I said, it's hard to review this because it's not a coherent movie in any sense. There's a lot that's in it for no real reason and the story doesn't make sense anyways. The characters aren't fleshed out or given any life, and there's little connection between them and what's happening. The effects are crude and barely amateur-level. The brains look like strips of bacon or pork cutlets. I can't recommend this to anyone, not even lovers of bad movies. Abysmal.
thelegendarywd I remembered this awful movie I bought at Camelot music store in the summer of 1989 when I was visiting my Grandparents. It was a time when I had just discovered movies like Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Return of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead. I was ready for all the horror/gore genre had to offer.... or so I thought! I was only about 12 years old at the time so I really don't remember it all that well. I remember a psycho running around with a corkscrew killing people, and a couple of cops (I think) who were riding in a car that wasn't actually moving, but being rocked side to side to look like it was... true cinemagic. I also remember it being the worst film I had ever seen up to that point and I promptly threw it in the garbage.Something tonight made me think of that movie (I can't believe I actually remembered the name), so I jumped on imdb to see if it was listed. To my surprise... IT WAS! And a full other 5 people have seen it.... Amazing. Even though I remember hating the film at the time I sort of wish I had kept it hidden away somewhere because I'd love to check it out again for a laugh (it would probably make a good drinking game movie). Anyway, I'm glad I'm part of the elite few that's seen this little "treasure". I would love to pick it up somewhere for a couple of bucks.... but beware, this is not a recommendation... it is awful... it's just for nostalgia.
oscarwildesbush I went through the highs. I went through the lows...cried, laughed, puked my ever-loving guts out. But through it all, I was made whole. I became a better person for having sat through this experience in self-imposed degradation. It's not every day we can say that we have lived through the worst, and come out the other side with something closely resembling our sanity whole and intact. Friends...neighbors-unite and be as one now. Go out and find this film and languish in its extravagancies. Place it high on the mantel and kiss its polystyrene box. Take it to bed. Take it out with you when you go shopping, or have blind dates with strange people. They will appreciate you all the better for your sublime and uniquely schizophrenic slant on cinema. And then they will throw their beverage of choice in your face (but you will have the last laugh). I ran for Governor with this little beauty under my belt (and you can too!). It is a treat worth having again and again.
elhaz This movie is possibly one of the most creative works of horror ever. It has everything you could want... suspense, drama, comedy, confusing subplots, native americans, brain eating... If you're looking for the be-all, end-all of brainsucking movies, look no further. The story of a man, bent on revenge. And how better to get it? "I know, I'll suck out their brains!" With great sound effects, and impressive special effects, I can't recommend this movie enough.
