4.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one severed head movie this year..., April 21 2004
By 
Motown Missile (Palookaville, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Head (DVD)
Wow! If you're a fan of classic Universal Studios-type atmosphere, look no further than "The Head". Pure unadulterated drive-in fare, "The Head" brings back fond memories of the 60's, when TV horror hosts like Sir Graves Ghastly and others would screen lesser-known gems like this one on Saturday afternoons.
Alpha Video is to be commended for making stuff like this available for a reasonable price; if any criticism could be levelled at them, it's that the print was not particularly good, and it shows in the transfer. Still, the film itself will make you forget all about that..it's really good! The actor who portrays Dr. Ood is especially memorable, like Peter Lorre without all the mannerisms. Buy it NOW!

3.0 out of 5 stars he forgot to mention something :(, Jan 13 2004
By 
This review is from: The Head (DVD)
It's a very good movie, but what irritated me during its vewing was that the director had "forgoten" to mention in the credits that he'd made an adaptation from a book by one of the greatest Soviet SF-writers - Alexander Belyaiev. The book's title is "The head of professor Dawell". It was first published in 1925 as a short story and lated was rewritten in a novel.
The adaptation is a very close one, even such details as the birthmark on the girl's shoulder were taken from the book. Maybe the motives of characters are somewhat changed, but that doesn't excuse the director, who, being of Russian origin, obviously had read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Head Cheese!, Jun 23 2003
This review is from: The Head (DVD)
A scientist is working on a way to keep body parts alive without a body. Enter Dr. Ood (Horst Frank), an evil psychotic with ideas of his own! He decapitates the good scientist (Helmut Schmid) and keeps his severed head alive. This is my favorite part, as the head is shown very realistically alive by itself! Excellent special effects illusion! There's also the hunchback nurse, who is used by Ood, who gets her a "new and improved" body! This is a dark film. I love it's cheese factor! It would make a fantastic triple feature with: "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" and "The Atomic Brain". "The Head" is a classic of horror, betrayal, and revenge. Fans of mad scientists will drool! Beware of Serum Z...
