Plot: Aylmer's the kind of guy who's only interested in your mind... for lunch! He's a mutant parasite who lives on human brains. That's why Aylmer has begun hanging around (literally) with a kid named Brian. Aylmer sees Brian as his ticket to a cerebral smorgasbord. And Brian sees Aylmer as a ticket to parasitical paradise. Because every time Aylmer sucks the brains out of another victim, he delivers a mind-blowing injection that sends Brian tripping to euphoria. Naturally it all results in Brain Damage - a rib-tickling brain eating feast of giggles and gore.Brian is a young man who is bitten by Aylmer, a mutant parasite who devours human brains. Boy and monster become symbiotically attached, since every time Aylmer feasts on a new victim, he injects Brian with a drug-like substance that propels him into a hallucinogenic state. Frank Henenlotter's (BASKET CASE, FRANKENHOOKER) cult classic features many darkly comedic twists and interesting low-budget visual

 Average fare has director Henenlotter's usual weirdness and it's not for all, but it isn't much either. Not as sucessful as it could've been, though it does have a funny in-joke by BC's star during a subway scene.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Henenlotter, the creator of "Basket Case," brings us yet another camp classic! Too bad this film is so unjustly forgotten.-- (eSplatter.com)
...On the whole you’d have to be a damaged horror fan to not rent this baby and pick its brain. "Brain Damage" was a breath of grey matter into my admitally vacuous life. See it and get drunk afterwards to celebrate its existence… just because you can!  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)

A weird, oddball 80s horror film for anyone who liked and enjoyed the horror and humor of Basket case. Some gore, some horror, drug hallucinations for everyone and plenty of sex jokes.  --Slicer-Dicer (SlasherPool)
