It's a headache from Hell.

HorrorComedy

A normal, average guy who lives in New York City becomes dependent on an evil, disembodied brain.

VIBE

This film is a visceral, hallucinatory trip into the darkest corners of addiction. It's a wild, gross-out ride that feels like a fever dream, blending body horror with a darkly comedic, propulsive energy. Pure 80s cult chaos.
