Please don't cancel your Balcony membership. Sometimes, I just NEED to talk about movies like this.A really old rich lady is dying, so she's hired a nutty scientist to put her brain into a nubile young body. He's practicing by first putting a dog's brain into some guy, turning him into a zombified servant who who thankfully doesn't hump his leg, and then a cat's brain into a young woman who immediately spits, scratches him, and goes up on the roof and won't come down (and if you think I'm kidding, you are sorely mistaken). One can only imagine what the litterbox for HER must look like. Anyway, the old lady has brought in a trio of beautiful, single young women from around the world, a Mexican lass (the one who ends up scratching up the furniture), a British girl whose accent appears more "rambling drunk chick from Iowa", and some blonde bimbo with huge knockers, and she's MY favorite. After that, not much happens, but not much needs to with a cast like THAT, right? This is one of those zero-budget pictures that gives zero-budget pictures a bad name. The mad scientist eventually puts the old lady's brain into the dead cat for no reason other than he can, but his plans go awry thanks to both the nuclear reaction chamber in his basement and said old lady/cat, who uses her paws for revenge. You have to see it. With all the brain-swapping going on, you'd think there'd be a lot of forehead scars and shaved heads, but there's nary a one to be found. When I say zero-budget, I MEAN zero-budget. Also, the way the old lady drools over and paws the three young girls is more than unsettling; it's like taking grandma to Hooters and watching her try to drag the server into the mop closet. Ewwwww. This film was lampooned by Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but not very well: the commentary is markedly less funny than the film itself. There's no Atomic Brain in this film, but since the movie is as close to unwatchable as any I've seen in years, it's hard to say that's "disappointing". |

Sounds as if it would've been more aptly posted on the "Funny Business" thread.
