| User ReviewAllan CI give this schlock-fest a high-rating because it's an example of a film's poor quality being so laughable that the finished product does a complete loop around and becomes uproariously entertaining. If you're an MST3K fan that enjoys riffing on horrid films, this is a must see, if only because it's a gem which reflects the shifting trends in schlock genre films from the late 80s to the early 90s. I wanted to call this a Poor Mans Re-Animator, but that might be giving this film perhaps a little too much credit, given that Re-Animator is intended to be humorous, and the way this thing was cobbled together, its clear that the people involved wanted us to take it very seriously...and with acting this wooden and a plot this silly that's just not going to happen! In short, this is a very generic by-the-numbers horror b-movie that plays better for laughs than it does for scares. Ron Ray plays Dr. Devine, a mad neurosurgeon who runs an "anti-aging clinic" for wealthy old folks. His secret is that he uses a radical surgery to transplant the brains of wealthy old folks into the bodies of young folks, whom he kidnaps from local universities and other such places by via large hulking zombie creatures created by bad reactions to his brain hormone (which is clearly borrowed from Re-Animator; I was half-expecting Jeffrey Combs to burst in with a cease and desist order after a while!). For this little 90 minute romp, his bulky minions bring in our motley crew of Dumbass McJockstrap, Goodie Lives-til-the-End, Blonde Full-Frontal-Nudity, and Innocent Survivor-Girl (bet you cant guess who dies in this one!). After being kidnapped, Goodie Lives-til-the-End manages to make a desperate escape and frantically tries to free his friends from some horrible acting...I mean Dr. Devine's nefarious plot to implant the brains of old folks into their bodies with the help of some more bad acting...I mean the local disbelieving sheriff and Dr. Devine's suspicious neighbor. Hilarity...I mean horror...I mean not much at all...ensues. For as much as I seem to be harping, its actually a fun watch, if you appreciate the laughs that low-budget horror schlock can bring to the table. Great for a Bad Movie/MST3K night with friends, with apologies to Brian Yuzna, Stuart Gordon, Jeffrey Combs, and H.P. Lovecraft! |
| User ReviewClay BThe concept was amusing. The movie lacked much quality, but could definitely be called entertaining. |
