cult horror May 23, 2008
Andrew J. Covell (CT)
This film was listed in Fangoria's 100 must see Horror films. It was a good movie, with some hints to the real world going on at the time of production in NYC, and NJ. Well worth the purchase
 Gonna Suck That Brain Right Outta Your Head... May 15, 2008
Bindy Sue Fronkuenschtein (under the rubble)
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...
surprisingly fun horror on low budget February 28, 2008
B. Andre (maine)
the more i see from henenlotter the more surprised i get. now i need to check out frankenhooker. this guy can work with pennies to make a kickass film. in a production sense, brain damage is like an impoverished re-animator and equally fun. extra star for the release. well done as usual for synapse. its a keeper.
classic late 80's splatter November 20, 2007
M. Wright (melbourne,australia)
brain damage is a splatter/comedy/horror classic from 1987/88.the director frank hennenlotter has also made similar classics such as basket case and frankenhooker.if you like these films,as well as stuff like the toxic avenger,street trash and class of nuke'em high,then you'll love brain damage.
