Summary: So bad, it's good!
Review: This was a GREAT "B" movie! Not only does it contain some cheesy special effects, bad acting, and a script that is just laughable, it's one of the WORST movies I've ever seen! Low-budget has never been this bad! I LOVE IT!!! Herb Evers plays the role of mad doctor Cortner who is illegally experimenting with transplant surgery. But when his girlfriend (Virginia Leith) is killed in a gruesome car accident, Cortner takes her disembodied head and keeps it alive with a special serum which he made himself. Unfortunately, the head takes a mind of it's own and forms a special bond with a hideous monster, another failed experiment of the doctor, while he's out searching for a new body for her. Plenty of shocking blood and gore which was edited out of the television version, this 1962 B&W horror flick is good for it's time and gore buffs of today will still not be disapointed. If you're looking for an award-winner though, this is NOT the movie for you! This turkey will probably only please the average "B" movie buff. IT'S SO BAD, IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!

Summary: A Perfect Storm Of Schlock!
Review: To me, THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE is the perfect horror movie. It has my three favorite elements: Mad scientists, experiments / organ transplants gone wrong, and zombies. In this case, the mad doctor and his wife get in a car crash, severing her head from her shoulders. The doctor rushes her dome to his lab, where he keeps it alive in a tub of chemicals. He then attempts to locate and kill a beautiful stripper to provide a body for his spouse. Meanwhile, Mrs. mad scientist's head has decided that her husband is crazy and needs a lesson in "head-side" manner. She befriends a strange zombie / monster in a closet made of her hubby's other botched experiments. She's the brains and it's the brawn, so to speak. Together, they take care of the mad doctor and his lab. A classic schlock-o-rama! Highly-Highly recommended...
