Customer Reviews
Wonderful B-movie horror/spoof from Bruce Campbell
B-movie hero Bruce "Evil Dead" Campbell makes his feature film directorial debut here with some hilarious results. The Man With the Screaming Brain stars Campbell (who also co-wrote the story) as an American industrialist in Bulgaria with his wife. Their marriage is failing rapidly, and it isn't too long before Campbell, his wife, and an ex-KGB cab driver all fall victim to a pretty, murderous gypsy woman who dreams of getting married. Before you know it, a mad scientist (Stacy Keach) re-animates Campbell's body; with pieces of the cab driver's brain inside his head to match. From this point on, it's easy to tell that Man With the Screaming Brain is meant to be as ridiculous as can be, with Campbell giving one of his most manic and wonderfully comic performances to date. Keach is hilarious as well as the mad professor, and Ted Raimi (brother of Sam) is great too as his Igor-like assistant. As you can tell by now, this isn't a movie for everybody, but for those loyal (and some obsessed) followers of Bruce Campbell, this is a must see.
Campbell kicks Brain
In this classic 50's sci-fi style story Bruce turns in an odd, but fantastic performance that is sure to please any fan of B-movies or classic sci-fi. The low budget only helps make the movie more fun to watch.
Classic Campbell
Yes, "The Man With The Screaming Brain" is totally cheesalicious, but, it's hilariously funny, as well. If you're a Bruce Campbell fan, you can't go wrong with this one. The eastern European setting works really well for the story--a woman scorned, cheating men, and no-name scientists who believe they have perfected the brain transplant. For a low-budget, purposely goofy movie, it actually has a pretty good plot. I have watched it several times on television, and have now purchased copies for myself and friends who love this genre. It's a great choice for those nights when you need mindless entertainment, and want to laugh. At $5, go for it.
