“The Brain That Wouldn’t Die” has a very special space in my heart. I first saw photos from it in “Wrathful Monsters” magazine support in the early 1960s, and was fascinated by the image of a woman’s head kept alive in a pan. To an eight year outmoded boy zigzag on trashy dread movies, this was “it”! I finally saw “Brain” a few years later on late-night TV, and was zigzag! Flash-forward to the 1980s, where, to my delight, I had discovered that this sleazy minute film had an vast cult following. Is it the preposterous yarn? The cheesy lab status? (it looks like an empty rumpus room in a suburban home) The poker-faced performances? The battling strippers? The sleazy and infectious music “The Web”? (of which I am the proud owner of on a 45 single), or the pizza-faced, hunchbacked, cone-headed giant locked in the closet? It’s ALL of these things! This EC comic-like film is irrestible, a VERY guilty pleasure, like eating a 5-pound box of very cheap candy that makes your teeth ache. But objective try and contemplate away! It even dawned on me recently that the role of “Doris”, the disfigured and bitter cheesecake model, is rather like a grouchy Bettie Page, posing, in the words of furious doctor Bill Cortner, “for a bunch of neurotics”. I had the pleasure of talking to the unhurried director Joseph Green on the telephone in 1989. I told him that “Brain” was one of my all-time accepted trash films, and he graciously said that he was jubilant that I had such fond memories of it. “Fond” is an understatement! The report quality on this DVD is brutally crisp, so you can delight in all of the tacky sets, terrible makeup jobs, and tawdry costumes. I may add that the long-missing footage, i.e. the bickering and battling strippers, and Leslie Daniel’s long, drawn out and VERY bloody death scene have been restored. You can Maintain “Dances With Wolves-the Director’s Slice”. Give me the restored “Brain That Wouldn’t Die”, which is Powerful shorter, better budgeted, and FAR more fun!
The rating isn’t for quality. This movie is one of the cheapest productions ever assign on film. It literally defines schlock. The performances are so uneven, they advance off as amateur night at the community theater. The cinematography is so abominable, the day-for-night shooting slips in and out. Several scenes sound as if they were recorded in a tin can - and probably were. It’s more padded than Dolly Parton, and not as delightfully.
On the other hand, once you accumulate past all that, this is one of the most unsettling movies ever made. If it were any more demented or disturbing, it would have to be directed by Tobe Hooper and rated “X”.
Psychopathic surgeon Jason Evers gets in a car accident speeding home to check on one of his failed experiments, and ends up decapitating fiancee Virginia Leith. He carries her head to the lab, and keeps it alive in a pan of his special serum, which he uses in limb-grafting experiments of so-far unsatisfactory results. Leith is extremely melancholy with being kept alive in her demonstrate condition, and even more so when she discovers Evers intends to slay the most ravishing woman he can net so he can establish Leith’s head onto a recent body. The serum Evers keeps Leith’s head alive with gives her telepathic power, and she develops an unsettling friendship with the failed experiment Evers was running home to check on in the first area - a hideously deformed giant golem in a locked closet, constructed of badly grafted-together tissues. The longer Leith is kept unnaturally alive, the more hooked and hateful she becomes, until she and the deformed monstrosity manufacture an insidious alliance to destroy Evers and his criminal assistant.

What makes this unbelievably cheap p.o.s. work is the conviction of the performers - Leith, especially - and the pervasive dementia, throughout. The soundtrack is incredibly effective, eerie beyond conception, often creeping up and down your spine. The visuals are genuinely unsettling in their very simplicity, to the point that you don’t even sight the rubber bald-cap on the gross golem until declare viewings. The violence is shuddery-awful, voyeuristically lingering on some of the most repugnant things imaginable - like a man’s arm being ripped out of its socket, and the camera’s following him through the house while he bleeds to death, the demonic head in the pan cackling delightedly throughout.
In short: cheap beyond plan, but more often than not incredibly effective. A must for all schlock panic afficionados.
