A campy cult classic from the 80s by Basket Case director Frank Henenlotter.
hahahahaha.
Trashy 80s classic. Brain Damage brings awesome special effects, over the top moments of gore and dark humor. Great double feature with Basket Case (bring that back please for Last Drive In)
This is one I'd been wanting to see since I was a kid and could never find in video stores then for whatever reason! I thought it was pretty fun and definitely worth a watch. Probably a three skull movie but it's so bizarre and went for it I wanna give it the four.
A strange one. Definitely has it's moments. Won't be for everyone. I.ve seen it once and I am mixed on it. Neat nod to another Henlotter film.
