Poster for the movie The Head

The Head (1959)

Complex West German horror film (original title: Die Nackte und der Satan) has a conscience-less scientist (Horst Frank) exploiting the discovery of another scientist (Michel Simon) to keep that scientist’s head alive after a fatal accident and force it to assist in a scheme to transplant a woman’s head onto a new body. Murder and mayhem follow, with some unexpected developments.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 302 for 2021.
