 Rated 10/10
In my (otherwise) dismal opinion, the trashiest exploitation film ever. Mean-spirited and cheap, highly recommended, and I gave it a well deserved rating of 10.
Too many highlights to mention, but the inclusion of Abie Baker's strip-tease instrumental; "The Web" is priceless. For anyone requiring further information, see FILMFAX No.18, (January 1990), it features a five page article/interview by Sharon Williams and Rudolph Grey with director Joseph Green. He explains all the nuts & bolts relating to The Brain that Wouldn't Die.

 A head that is kept alive in a tray of chemicals, a melted-man monster, a pair of fighting strippers, outrageous dialogue and a bit of telepathy, what more could you want from a cult movie? A wacko story and some much referenced imagery; this film has come to define the monster-movie era of the drive-ins (although it did arrive a little late in the day).

Mad scientist and plastic surgeon Dr Cortner saves the head of his girlfriend, who's body has been destroyed in a car crash, by keeping it alive in a dish of chemicals. He then sets off on a mission to find the perfect body for her, but unbeknown to him she develops a telepathic link to a monster lurking in the laboratory who will give her the revenge that she craves.
