Brain Damage Reviews

A farce bis quite hairy but not imperishable. The least barge film of Henenlotter. Although the blowj.. scene...

Another great film written and directed by Frank Henenlotter about a man named Brian who’s life seems to be normal; until he meets his new friend Elmer. It is a simple, yet complex in it’s own way example of fixations and addictions through American people. Escaped from his prior owners in the same apartment building, Elmer clings to Brian and slowly turns his life into nothing but dependency.. on colors. Waking up with a pile of blackish liquid starts the new life of Brian, saying goodbye to his job, and his everyday life with his brother and his girlfriend. Now the most important thing to him the colors shown to him when a certain liquid made only by Elmer is injected through a hole in his neck directly into his brain. I love the play on words, you know, his name being Brian and the film subjected entirely around brains. Anyhow, slowly slipping Brian forgets where he is while on the mind altering drug, and that he is first hand giving Elmer meals through human hosts. Ripping through heads in the up most foul sex scene along with attaching himself to people’s heads; Elmer stuffs himself with human victims while Brian sits and laughs at all the bright colors, and his new found way to see life. The body count stacks up higher than imagined, and before long underwear are turning up filled with blood; Brian realizes all that can be done is a standoff to stop the deaths by not giving into Elmer’s wants, but a man can only last so long without his fix.

Aylmer: Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above?... It's not the season, the reason is plain as the moon... It's just Elmer's Tune!
