If you’ve never seen The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, then you have missed out on one of the greatest, most outrageous little classic films ever to be created. Now, courtesy of Scream Factory, you can right that wrong!
From the Press Release:
Medical science leaps light years into the future in the 1962 sci-fi cult classic THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE, starring Herb Evers (Escape from the Planet of the Apes, 1971), Virginia Leith (Stanley Kubrick’s Fear and Desire), and Leslie Daniel (Johnny Yuma). Directed by Joseph Green, this campy sci-fi/horror classic explores the strange world of transplants, cloning, and mutant regeneration.
On December 22, 2015, SCREAM FACTORY will release the special Blu-ray edition of THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE on home entertainment shelves. Available for the first time on Blu-ray, this definitive home entertainment release features uncut version of this movie classic and includes parts of the brain surgery scene that were missing from previous releases, plus insightful bonus content.
Strangely relevant in today’s ethically challenged world, this movie presents a truly psycho surgery case and is “one of the great sci-fi sleaze classics” (Starlog).
Synopsis:
When Dr. Bill Cortner loses his sweetheart, Jan, in a car accident, he refuses to give up hope for her life. Scooping up her decapitated head, he brings it back to the lab for resuscitation. But keeping her head alive is one thing – finding her a new body is quite another. So while the mad doctor is out looking for spare parts, she’s stuck at home going out of her mind – literally! And nothing will stop her from getting revenge on the man who is keeping her as a trophy girlfriend!
