In un laboratorio situato nella popolosa città di New York, il chirurgo Bill Cortner mantiene in vita la testa della sua fidanzata Jan, decapitata in uno spaventoso incidente stradale, con l'intenzione di procurarsi un corpo sul quale trapiantarla. Il dottore non è nuovo a pratiche del genere: esperto in trapianti, ha già dato vita ad un mostruoso uomo artificiale - da tempo recluso in una stanza segreta - e, adesso, grazie ad un sofisticato sistema di cavi elettrici, teche protettive e soluzioni chimiche, sa che il cervello di Jan ha piena coscienza della situazione, anche se lo supplica di lasciarlo morire.

    "The Brain That Wouldn't Die". 71 minutes. 1962. Black and white. . There is no tension or suspense. The horror of a decapitated nead is too watered down because there are too many characters who are given more screen time than the talking nead. . There would have been more interst, perhaps, if we saw scenes ftom the head's point of view, from her eyes. . The movie could have been made more unsettling than it is if the head had said what it felt like to be without a body, without a heart. We get no sense of the helpless horror she was in. . The head was was too clean. In my opinion, there should have been sweat and worry lines on the face. She was beheaded in an accident. Yet, there are no bruises or stitches. . The film could have done without the creature behind the locked door and the fast ending. At the end, the head should have screamed. . The weaknesses in the film did not come from the actors but from what the director and writer could have done but did not. . The soundtrack had atmospheric moments. Review by Charles Ynfante.
