The Holidays are now over and what better way to get back into the swing of things by watching a bad movie. Okay, bad might not be the best term to describe The Brain That Wouldn't Die, as it certainly isn't the worst movie I've witnessed before. Yes, the plot is paper thin and could've easily been trimmed down to a solid 20-minute episode of Twilight Zone or something similar, but overall I enjoyed the movie enough. However, the movie isn't the main reason to pick up Scream Factory's new Blu-ray. No, the reason to pick it up is the Mystery Science Theater 3000 special feature, which goes through the entire movie and is a blast to sit through. Read on to see whether one feature alone is worth the price of admission (short answer: it is)...

Yep, that's pretty much all the movie is about. Not much happens in the film, save for a completely random cat fight between two women, and a bathing suit fashion show. If you're expecting a rampaging killer head, you're going to be disappointed, as the only killings happening in this movie are by some weird creature, who is only shown near the end, and the effects are hilarious looking.
As I mentioned in the opening paragraph, there is a lot of filler in this movie and I could easily see, with a few trims, it fitting in nicely into a Twilight Zone episode, but alas what we get instead is a lot of minutes of not much going on. The only benefit with that is we get to sit through the enjoyable MST3K for a good amount of time.
BLU-RAY
Scream Factory has done a nice job cleaning up the movie. There is a bit of dust, light leaks and cigarette burns present, but if you compare it to the film stock used in the MST3K episode, you can easily see how cleaned up it is. The audio is also well down, with clear dialogue and no issues or drop outs
