Dr. Bill Cortner has been performing experimental surgery on human guinea pigs without authorization and against the advice of his father, also a surgeon. When Bill's fiancée Jan Compton is decapitated in an automobile accident, he manages to keep her brain alive. He now needs to find a new body for his bride-to-be and settles on Doris Powell, a glamor model with a facial disfigurement. Jan meanwhile doesn't want to continue her body-less existence and calls upon the creature hidden in the basement, one of Bill Cortner's unsuccessful experiments, to break loose.

This movie works on so many levels . It is pure gutter art that a movie like this is made. It's not played for CAMP or LAUGHS. it's message is dire. cheap. desperate and hateful. YET it's value , can make us grin and laugh. Nobody ever snickers on screen. It's like a Shakespare play meets The Bowery Boys Go to A Haunted House. - @Wednesday, August 15, 2018 2:31 AM

THIS flick is basically the FIRST movie version of H.P. Lovecraft's story Herbert West; Reanimator over twenty years before the 1985 adoption. - @Monday, August 1, 2016 7:55 PM
