VHS Movie Reviews of Head of the Family
Movie Review: Movie from old horror-comic-book? :)
Summary: 2 Stars
I must confess, while I haven't actually seen this film, {;-> I have, however, read a horror-story in an old comic years ago of which this movie's synopsis strongly reminded me. In fact, I think it may've even had the same title.And if it is the same one, that part of the storyline I remember is rather like this....: A young lady goes on a trip with her handsome fiance(e?) to meet his family. She is surprised by the family-members' rather odd appearances & behavior -- an older sister, e.g., who is rather dowdy-looking but is very useful with her hands around the house (cooking, cleaning, etc.), etc. Somewhere later in the story a gun goes off, hitting the lady's fiance tragically in the heart and (I think) also causing the older sister to fall and break her skull.When the police and family doctor are summoned, some baffling details unfold: ...the older sister's skull is found to be *hollow*, the oldest brother who's been simply referred to as "the Head of The Family" is sought out -- apparently a wheelchair-bound invalid who has an *enormous* head (the brain-case part anyhow) and is found dead in his wheelchair. The other siblings are also found lying mysteriously dead. The doctor, after also examining the young lady's sweetheart, shows to the other visitors' horrified confusion that the young man's skull...is also empty, as is his dead sister's. The doctor unfolds the horrible (and very weird) explanation that -- since he was present at the time of the birth of all the deceased and knows -- **all these siblings are really one person, in a way...and psychically joined: the older sister and brother were the Hands and Feet (neither they nor the eldest bro. had hearts either, if I recall correctly), the eldest brother was **literally** the Brain, ...and the youngest brother was the Heart, who could go out and fall in love and marry and...continue the family line.If the movie was anything like this comic, I think it might actually be worth seeing, *if* it was produced and directed well.(Since I *didn't* see the movie itself, and am increasingly aware of how shabbily some "books-to-movies" are done, I gave it two stars.;) And, since this Family had been shot through its Heart, It **all** dropped dead!Movie Review: A helluva romp
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitley one of full moon's funniest films and one of my favorites. A giant head, busty girl, and wicked humor make this one a keeper. A must see.Movie Review: A surprisingly funny Full Moon Pictures film.
Summary: 4 Stars
Full Moon Pictures normally have the cheesiest horror films that I ever seen, which is why I am usually against their films. When I rented this film, I was surprised to actually find ot hilarious. One part that was funny was the man who was just a head that was shaped like a potato.The story concerns a woman who is having an affair with another man. Her lover stumbles apon a secret, and blackmails a disfigured head. As the head gets angrier and angrier, the movie get more and more hilarious. Although this movie is hilarious, it may not be for some. It contains strong sexuality and nudity, and may be considered offensive to some. I recommend this to anyone who likes horror comedies.
