Movie Reviews of Brain Damage
Movie Review: True greatness!.
Summary: 5 Stars
How do you follow up a smashing cult low budget movie like Basket Case?, you take what worked in that film and try to make it even better. The result of course is Brain Damage, this is in my honest opinion one of Frank Hennenlotter's most absurd, outrageous, over the top, funny and best gory low budget film he's ever made. Brian (Rick Herbst) wakes up with his head covered with blood and hallucinating about giant eyes and a weird blue fluid filling his room (great trippy sequence by the way!). As it turns out, while Brian was sleeping a snakelike creature named Aylmer injected him with a chemical that hooks it's victims, making them addicted slaves. Unfortunately the only free high is the first. If Brian wants more all subsequent injections come at a price - he must pay Aylmer with some human brains. Unbearably addicting, Brian begins collecting Aylmer's favorite food of choice. As Brian becomes more dependent on Aylmer's fluid his life starts slipping into oblivion and he also seems to ignore those people who are around him including his girlfriend and his brother. Hennenloter has written a great script filled with witty dialogue and strange characters and the film was obviously a commentary on the life of a drug addict, Brain Damage incorporates humor and gore with a disturbing depiction of the deterioration of the human spirit on drugs. This film also has some pretty sick stuff including the infamous scene where Brian pulls a nasty string of brain matter out of his ear and the other involving a club girl who gets more than she bargained for (you have to watch the film if you know what I mean). The film also has an amusing cameo by Kevin Van Hetenryck from the Basket Case trilogy in the subway scene. Overall this was a terrific film that should not be missed by cult horror fans. I highly recommend it as it was loads of fun and way better than Basket Case, which really is saying alot since both films were great.Movie Review: Gonna Suck That Brain Right Outta Your Head...
Summary: 5 Stars
BRAIN DAMAGE is Frank Henenlotter's masterpiece of comical chemical dependency and insane cranial carnage! Brian (Rick Herbst) is a decent enough guy, just trying to survive in NYC. Well, it seems that a hideous parasite named Aylmer has ditched it's previous victims and found it's way into Brian's apartment. Brian has been inexplicably ill, unable to go out w/ his girlfriend. So, he sends her out w/ his brother. Brian has strange, unexplained hallucinations. He then meets Aylmer in his bathroom, and is introduced to the "juice". What is the juice? It's an incredibly addictive substance that Aylmer injects into Brian's brain, by thrusting a needle-like organ through the base of his skull! Brian has no recollection of what happens under the influence of the juice. He becomes a zombified transport for the murderous, brain-devouring Aylmer. There are several shocking scenes, so make sure that granny and the youngsters are far away from this one! This is definitely adult fare, but a classic nonetheless. BD is right up there in the upper echelons of the slime pantheon w/ the likes of STREET TRASH, DEAD ALIVE, and BASKET CASE! See it today...Movie Review: why you need to own this movie (or at least watch it)
Summary: 5 Stars
Great visuals, original story line, awesome music, best monster ever!
The speacial features are great, hilarious commentary, and an audio only track (sweet)
I use to watch this movie alot when i was very young,and since growing up i had completely blacked it out of my memory,,, until one day i saw it here on amazon for sell
i bought it on a whim since i couldn't remember if it was cheesy good or cheesy bad
well, since receiving it (in like 2 days form the order, hella fast) i have watched this movie 20 times in the last 7 days (how is this possible, i work full time, have a girlfriend, and go to school on my off days,,, oh yeah, thats right i don't sleep)
i don't know how i got by without this one in my dvd collection, it should have been on my shelf years ago
if you liked "they live" or "evil dead" or :the stuff" or any other cheesy cult classic, you better believe that "Brain Damage" is the must have dvd to add to your collection
so get now, it's out of print, so get it while it's available

What a great movie! I loved it! It has a great plot, it's unique, it's clearly anti-drug and I liked that, it has a great main character, it's very entertaining, it's funny, it has some great special effects, it has some pretty nice gore and Aylmer (the creature) is awesome lol!
