A scientist gives his lover's disembodied head consciousness after a freak car accident. She then seeks revenge on the scientists who resurrected her as they plan to lure another victim to fulfil their scientific experiment.
While having a silly b-movie premise and low production, this is a surprisingly gruesome and disturbing tale of science gone wrong. It's long and meandering in parts for sure, but it's eerie and unsettling story in addition to a highlight performance of Virginia Leith as Jan (known as Jan in the Pan) make it a worthwhile watch.
You've got to give Virginia credit, it mustn't be easy playing a disembodied head and while there are some hammy moments, I generally liked her performance throughout. The most meandering parts of the film are when the scientist is trying to find a woman host, they are slow but for a b-movie from this era I guess that's what you generally expect.
Interestingly, the film had such severe censorship and legal issues that it had to wait three years to get released! It has a surprisingly grisly climax and the overall reanimating the dead storyline gets under your skin a little. This is actually for the most part an entertaining horror movie that I'll recommend.
