Tagline: It's A Headache From Hell!

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

external linkAverage 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. 2/4


external linkHenenlotter, the creator of "Basket Case," brings us yet another camp classic! Too bad this film is so unjustly forgotten.

external link...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! 4/4

external linkA 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. 3/5
