Comment/Synopsis

A surgeon keeps the decapitated head of his girlfriend alive and looks for a body to transplant it onto. This is film is bad on lots of levels not least the absurdidy of the basic premise that a decapitated head could be kept alive and speak. Then there is the scene of two prostitutes having a fight. It is also creepy as he goes around looking for a woman with an attractive body that he can put his girlfriends head on. this takes the film to the edge of the Exploitaion / Trash movie genre.
