A scientist is driving around with his gorgeous girlfriend and everything's hunky-dory until he wrecks the car and her head goes flying off. Not to be discouraged, he wraps the decapitated noggin in his jacket and scurries off to his lab, where he keeps the poor woman's head alive in a developing tray with some coils and tubes running in and out of it. With his girlfriend's still-conscious cabeza back at the lab, the good doctor drives around shopping for bodies, ogling women who might make likely candidates for reattaching the head. Finally he finds a model with a gorgeous bod (and leopard print bikini), but a scarred face. He convinces the young woman that he can fix her looks with plastic surgery and convinces her to go back to the lab. Meanwhile, his girlfriend-head (silenced by a strip of duct tape over her mouth) has developed telepathy and a nasty grudge. This movie used to regularly leave late-night TV audiences aghast and scare the bejabbers out of the young'uns. Decades later, it's an indispensable trash classic, complete with a catfight, a pinhead monster, a deformed assistant, and even a spatter of gore. Make no mistake; this incredible, sleazy gem is a must-see for any self-respecting fans of camp cinema. They just don't come any better, and they definitely don't make 'em like that anymore. --Jerry Renshaw

Horror Classic.......2007-06-23

I saw this movie on late night TV when I was around eight years old. I loved it then and I love it now.

I don't know what kind of effects they used on the womans voice (post decapitation) but it still creeps me out when ever she speaks.

I would have given it three stars for the battling voluptuous strippers scene alone. But all in all it's a great low budjet horror film. I still find the talking head to be quite profound in her enlightened view of the world (once again, post decapitation).

"I THINK I'M GOING OUT OF MY HEAD".....OVER YOU!.......2007-05-03

"A cheesy classic, ***BEWARE*** There are some prints that are not complete and are missing a pretty cool gross out part of this film! I'm not sure about the DVD I took the picture from for this list? A one of a kind cheapy that will crack you up!"

The Brain Thant Wouldn't Die.......2007-02-15

The movie is bad it is second only to Howard the Duck. It was so bad that I could not sit through all of it. Don't bother with this one.

ALPHA DVD VERSION.......2006-11-28

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRE FILMS ALONG WITH KILLER SHREWS, GIANT GILA MONSTER, BEGINNING OF THE END, BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS, & KILLERS FROM OUTER SPACE...MAD SURGEON KEEPS GIRLFRIEND'S HEAD ALIVE UNTIL HE CAN SCOUT OUT THE STRIP JOINTS FOR A REPLACEMENT BODY. SLEAZY CAMP AT IT'S FINEST!!! GREAT LINES, COMICAL SITUATIONS, TURGID DRAMA...A MUST DOUBLE-BILL WITH THE EURO-CRAPPER "THE HEAD" FOR THE ULTIMATE DECAPITATED SLEAZE FEST (OR FESTER...).
THE ALPHA DVD IS GREAT!!!!!!! ONE OF THIER BEST TO DATE, CLEAR & COMPLETE, A VERY GOOD SOURCE TRANSFER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ON ALL COUNTS.

Still a classic at what it did -- Weird people out........2006-08-31

Get the Alpha Video DVD. It has the best sound and print. It isn't missing any scenes. It also has audio at the beginning that none of the other BTWD DVD's have (really creepy to hear when starting the movie). I still give the movie four stars instead of five though because of the talking instead of acting.
