Alive... without a body... fed by an unspeakable horror from hell!

HorrorScience Fiction

Dr. Bill Cortner and his fiancée, Jan Compton, are driving to his lab when they get into a horrible car accident. Compton is decapitated. But Cortner is not fazed by this seemingly insurmountable hurdle. His expertise is in transplants, and he is excited to perform the first head transplant. Keeping Compton's head alive in his lab, Cortner plans the groundbreaking yet unorthodox surgery. First, however, he needs a body.

VIBE

A delightfully schlocky B-movie that revels in its own absurdity. It's a bizarre, low-budget trip into mad science with a surprisingly resilient severed head and a surgeon obsessed with keeping his fiancée alive, no matter the cost.
