Summary: Great flick on grouseme subject!
Review: "Head Of The Family". Boy, where do I begin? It's actually more erotica than Horror, I must say. Great special effects with the head. Not all too great acting skills...and does'nt actually fit the bill which my "Tales From The Crypt" reviews do. Overall, a great movie with a nice story and special effects. And one WEIRED ending!

Summary: Different. Definately different.
Review: I love bad movies. I have dozens of truly silly flicks and this one just fits right in. The special effects were considerably better than I expected, as was the acting. As usual, Jacqueline Lovell took what was given to her and made the best of it. Not nearly as bad as BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS (which is in my opinion THE worst movie ever made) but still fun.

Let's face it, people, if you want to enjoy yourself and watch these movies you need a great sense of humor, a willingness to overlook flawed material, and a good stiff drink. Otherwise, you're wasting your time. This ain't Oscar material. This is sit back with your friends, crank up the sound, relax and get ready to laugh your butt off. That's what bad movies are all about. This one will do just fine, thank you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not weird enough
Review: I thought this diverting little effort could have been pushed a lot further. Indeed, I was hoping for it to be a genuine cult item but I was left a little disappointed.
Not bad though and cheap enough to add your collection.
Now, where's The Dark Backward when you need it on dvd ?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT ACTING AND AN AMAZING TRUE STORY
Review: I WAS FLOORED BY THIS AMAZING TALE OF FAMILY VALUES. THE FAMILY WAS A BIT HANDICAPPED BUT THROUGH THE STRENGHT OF WORKING TOGETHER THEY WERE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH ACTING, I REALLY LIKE THE TALL GUY THAT HAD THE BIG EYES. I WISH I COULD FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HIM. HE IS REALLY HANDSOME.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: JAQUELINE LOVELL
Review: Jacqueline Lovell is very attractive and sexy in this Chain Saw Massacre type story. She is a mainstay of soft core porn and can be seen frequently on Cinemax.

Glad to se her in a mainstream movie

Summary: Quality Viewing For Aeroflot Passengers Only
Review: Question: How low can a movie go? Answer: VERY!

Initially, I was looking forward to seeing this flick, one that promised 'head over heels' fun in the tradition of Re-animator & Basket Case. But I should have known better.

With a box cover catchphrase of 'upset the head, and you're dead', this video nasty failed to live up even to MY extremely low expectations.

Set in a hicksville town called Nob Hollow....yes, that's right....Nob Hollow, the Stackpool family is up to the usual no good. While lacking the finesse of the Klopecs, this collection of circus sideshow oddities & mutants is bound to amuse. These oddballs are led by a psychic brainiac called Myron (better known as the head of the family). You see, Myron's exactly that...a horribly deformed gigantic head in a chair. Obviously a graduate of the 'Hideous Human Experimentation' University. Judging by his collection of grotesquely deformed & lobotomised victims, I'd say with full honours. Now here's a movie spot that even Eric Roberts would have rejected....er....well maybe. The special effects are cheap....I mean you have to convert the budget into Indian Rupee to be even slightly impressed. The plot's hardly worth mentioning suffice to say that the head is big and severely brain damaged. Save your bucks and buy a chuppa chup instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Small Town Mutants
Review: The Stackpooles are different from the rest of the town. They have money. They keep themselves apart from the town except when stocking up supplies. They are also quadruplets mutated in unusual ways.

One brother is dumb but super-strong. Another brother has super-senses (and really big eyes), the sister has unresistable powers of sexuality. The last brother, Myron, has all of the brains. He is the head of the family with a head as big as most peoples' torsos. They are also connected telepathically.

Grifters, infidelity and bribery drive a plot that reveals what the Stackpooles are up to in their isolated home. But Myron really hates not being in control and the battle of wills and tortures begins.

With liberal amounts of nudity, sex, and colorful characters this is an enjoyable and sometimes silly horror film that is very light on the blood and guts (although there is some finger breaking). I found it to be quite rewatchable and one of the better thought out Full Moon films. Myron is a wonderful evil genius.
