BRAIN DAMAGE is one of Frank Henenlotter’s zaniest, most bad taste films – and that’s saying something! Sitting between BASKET CASE and FRANKENHOOKER in Henenlotter’s ouvre, BRAIN DAMAGE really is the ultimate head trip, with talking, brain-hungry parasites, mind-bending special effects and more bad taste gags than you can shake a stick at. Now Arrow Video will release it on Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Dual Format in the U.K. on 8th May 2017 (U.S.A. and Canada 9th May 2017) so you can finally see it in its gory glory.
Synopsis:
Meet Elmer. He’s your local, friendly parasite with the ability to induce euphoric hallucinations in his hosts. But these LSD-like trips come with a hefty price tag. When young Brian comes under Elmer’s addictive spell, it’s not long before he finds himself scouring the city streets in search of his parasite’s preferred food source – brains!
Featuring late TV horror host John Zacherley as the voice of Elmer, Brain Damage boasts some of the most astonishing bad taste gore-gags ever realized, including the notorious “brain-pulling sequence” and a blow-job that ends with a distinctly unconventional climax.
