Sick and sickening horror show, said to be derived from an H.P. Lovecraft tale, but thoroughly contemporary in its devotion to ghoulish special effects. Humor brightens the scene momentarily when the mad doctor (or mere mad intern) injects some of his reanimating serum -- a sort of phosphorescent limeade -- into a severed head and solicits data from it: "What are you thinking? How do you feel?" This is soon topped by the sight-gag of the decapitated body, also inoculated with the reanimating fluid, carrying around its own head in a metal tray. But the humor, buried beneath deadpan exposition before then, drowns in gore soon afterward. With Bruce Abbott and Barbara Crampton; directed by Stuart Gordon. (1985) — Duncan Shepherd
