BRAIN OF BLOOD 1972 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY

An Al Adamson gem.

I hadn't seen this film for a number of years and forgot just how much weird fun it is.

Amir (Reed Hadley) is dying of cancer and his country will fall apart if he does not live. Some of his countrymen including Bob (Grant Williams) and Mohammad (Zandor Vorkov) rush his fresh corpse to the USA for a bizarre operation.

Dr. Trenton (Kent Taylor) has planned to transfer Amir's brain into another body, but when things don't go as planned, he uses the body of a disfigured, hulking giant named Gor (John Bloom).

However, Trenton's real plan is to control the leader of Kalid and then rule the entire world at some point. This is a totally off the wall film that usually goes in several directions at once and has a ton of plot holes, but who cares?

This film was made so Hemisphere would have a release for the year 1971. Sam Sherman and Al Adamson made this to fill the bill and it has actually been called the most Philippine movie not made in the Philippines.

The rest of the cast includes Vicki Volante, Richard Smedley and Angelo Rossitto.
