Movie Reviews

Film International - 10/10 by Matthew SorrentoTraditional readings of the film see it as a commentary on the damning nature of chemical dependency. While the theme's presence is undeniable, the film also depicts the freeing and often empowering nature of stimulants.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Steve SimelsWriter-director Frank Henenlotter’s disturbing antidrug parable has more gross-out scenes than it probably needs, but it also has the funniest and most literate dialogue ever to grace a no-budget monster movie.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Leonard KladyIt’s a veritable crazy quilt of ideas that manages to engage our attention while our heads continue to dart away from the shocking images on screen.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Chuck BowenThis gnarly gem of 1980s-era punk horror still looks and sounds a little rough, but the film and the supplements justify the plunge.
SFX Magazine - 8/10 by Ian BerrimanA horribly funny addiction allegory, equally likely to make you feel sympathy and sorrow, or burp up a tiny bit of sick.
SciFiNow - 6/10 by Jonathan HatfullIt's the mix that so many other low-budget schlock-hound filmmakers have gone for, but so few make it work. It's imperfect, tasteless, but hugely watchable.
Film4 - 6/10 by Anton BitelAs high on concept as it is low on budget, Henenlotter's 1980s urban horror is cheap, sleazy and irresistibly addictive. It's the best kind of bad trip.
The New York Times - 1/10 by Walter GoodmanWritten and directed by Frank Henenlotter, this oozer specializes in unspecial effects and unspeakable acting. Strictly for the brain damaged.
User Review - 10/10 by eJana :A movie only Hennenlotter could make. A perfect work of art. Like one of those optical illusions whose apparent simplicity conceals impossible complexity, Brain Damage points down a rabbit hole of I/thou investigations. The most touching and affirming movie you'll ever see about a brain parasite. Here addiction is family, where we meet both in the free fall.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric RThis appropriately titled horror movie is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in my living room. It is a classic story of a man and his dog. By dog I mean weird alien brain-eating toothy worm thing that talks like an old fashioned lounge singer. It uses this young man to eat people's brains or whatever the hell it did. In the horror community, this movie is famous for one particular scene involving the main character in an alley behind a club. It is the most disgusting displays of explicit oral sex I have ever seen. If you are a fan of hentai, chances are you know what I am talking about. I sat and watched with my jaw agape as I wondered aloud if this sort of thing was even allowed in regular movies. Greg sat there and shook his head ruefully as he looked away. The story behind that raunchy scene is that while filming it, almost the entire crew walked off the set, leaving behind the two actors and about three crew members. For horror fans like me, this movie is a must-see, if only for this one scene. The rest of the movie is fun though, with gore and nasty things. The story gets down right strange to the point where I sometimes felt lost, yet oddly entertained.
