If you’re seeking some fresh and challenging cinema from the east,you won’t find many products better than this.Panik House Entertainment seems to consistently source and put out great titles,in this case 4 of them!On top of that you get the extremely rare recording of Reiko Ike singing ‘No Miryoku’,a lounge classic.The action and plot lines of the films are great and I’m sure Im not alone in having a soft spot for Miki Sugimoto (Zero Woman:Red Handcuffs).If you enjoy Lady Snowblood,Rope And Skin,Sex And Fury,Blind Womans Curse,Bohachi Bushido,Star Of David or even the Lone Wolf Films then this is an essential purchase that guarantees 6 hours of some the best pinky violence ever put together by fans,for fans of outrageous cinema.

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.

This film is great! Violence and humour in equal amounts, but overall, very enjoyable. It’s also got the most likeable brain munching, hallucination inducing, blue worm type creature of any film I’ve seen! I don’t want to say too much otherwise I’ll spoil the best bits, but rest assured this film is a real treat! If you like horror comedies then do yourself a favour and check this out!

Frank Henenlotter is a genius.
His films are basically mad and people should watch them not expecting a serious/big Budget extravaganza.
In short it is about a monster that feeds on peoples brains. It lives in a host who is tanked up on a mysterious drug that takes them an almighty trip. While off there face the monster strikes.
If you like this film watch Basket Case his greatest film.
