The Man with the Screaming Brain - Psychological Thriller Novel by Bruce Campbell | Perfect for Horror Fans & Book Club Discussions

While the average movie go-er might find this film distressing in its flagrant randomness and zany humor, if you like strange independent films, or any of the major actors, this will probably entertain you. I definately recommend watching the film through with the commentary feature on at least once. Bruce Campbell, particularly, is quite amusing, as he chronicles all the craziness and problems that this movie had from start to finish. You should also steer toward this film if you like campy sci-fi, marriage-crazed gypsy women, Bruce Campbell, or Ted Raimi, in particular. The violence is fairly low-key, and who doesn't love seeing Bruce Campbell try to ride a tiny pink Vespa?! I personally love this movie even more because of Ted Raimi, who plays the "mad" scientist's rather...special...lab assistant. He spends most of the movie consuming unsafe quantities of Red Bull, while stealing corpses and talking in a very amusing Russian accent (which dies occasionally, giving a very odd mix of Russian and Detroit-ish...), oh, and rapping (something which will probably only be found amusing by fans). You can tell that the actors are having a lovely time, and the woman who plays the evil gypsy lady does a superb job of looking seductive and flaming crazy at the same time. Overall, while bizarre, I thought this movie was enjoyable, and well put together. The dialogue is generally amusing and the acting, I thought, was quite good. Go watch it; if it damages your mind, don't worry, you didn't need those brain cells anyway.
