Horrorfest 2016 Presents: The Brain That Wouldn’t Die (1962, Joseph Green)


the-brain-that-wouldnt-die

Despite knowing that this was a MSTK entry I still watched this movie late at night on TCM. It’s awful and yet there’s something fascinating about bad old school horror science fiction. Plus this movie was, like many of its time era, cheaply made as fast as possible. Not every low budget film can be a winner. Too many of them end up like this one, which is too bad since the ending is at least entertaining.

Why is a creature chained up in a mad doctor’s basement? Why doesn’t he just move on from his girlfriend, who is now only just a head? (They didn’t have seat belts in the 60s I guess) Why won’t WordPress let me post the trailer for this turkey in my post? Watch the film for some answers, although I don’t recall getting any. A modern day remake of this could result in an goofy and fun movie. Or it could be made really gory. Either way this is a prime candidate.
