Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

jadavix "Headless" is one of those grubby little horror movies that looks like it was made with a few effects, gallons of blood, and a few people who owed the filmmaker a favour.It's sickening and tedious in equal measure.The 'plot' is something to do about a depraved maniac who was kept in a cage by his sadistic mother and now wears a mask and kills people.The movie is actually less concerned with the 'kills' than what he does to the bodies afterwards. Repeatedly, he decapitates the corpses (hence the title, I guess) and then appears to have sex with the neck hole. He also often removes the bodies' right eye and eats it, the camera showing white fluid from the eyeball running down his mask.Something else about the movie, which is easily forgotten because it adds nothing to the experience, is that it is presented as a lost film from 1978. The only possible use for this contrivance is that it justifies the movie's dingy production value and the fact that the entire movie seems to have been filmed through mud - as today's filmgoers may believe movies made in the seventies actually were.Hell, the original "Halloween" and "Last House on the Left" were actually filmed in the seventies and on a shoe-string budget, and they didn't look this bad.

benny_5 I don't want to give away too much information on this flick, if you decide to give it a shot. But let me tell you: it sucks. I came to this little movie because of a list of movies, called the sickest, vile movies ever made... or something. Doesn't matter anymore. I got curious because this movie took the top spot on the list. Number one. Sickest, depraved movie of all time. A bigger thing than "A Serbian Film", "The Human Centipede" or "Martyrs". That was a promise to me. I was never more disappointed in my life like I was after watching this piece of crap. It is not shocking or anything like that. It is just stupid and boring. The cinematography is a joke, the acting is even worse and the plot is an insult to everyone who has ever seen a movie. There is no tension and there is no likable character at all. The director is trying to shock the audience with the shown brutality but fails miserably. The killer and his victims are just so stupid it's unbelievable. The first kill shows perfectly, what's wrong with this film. The perverse, depraved murderer with his abusive childhood cuts the victims top open, plays with her breasts, then penetrates her with his machete, which is the worst penetration scene i have seen all my life. This killer is just so unlikely, this shot just killed and penetrated his own credibility for me. But take a look for yourself. Normally I would rate a movie so bad like "Headless" with one star, but I add one more star for the sick ideas. The implementation just got messed up.

rollwithit-35445 3rd review tonight. Reviewing a bunch of Indiana made movies because yeah I live here. This review as with the others, I factor in that these are really low budget movies with really no recognizable actors.This movie was just repulsive. And I think thats the point. But they used the same gimmick too many times.How many severed heads can you rape and it still be shocking? two? three? It seemed like it happened like 50 times. and by the 50th time I just didn't care. Decent story though. Showing how the killer became who he was was interesting. Acting was OK. The sleazy roller rink guy and the blond female were pretty good. The kid with the skull mask was super creepy. He made the scenes he was in SO much better. Great 70s grindhousy look and feel to the movie. The filmmakers nailed that in my opinion. Worth a watch.

Cody Rapp (biscutbuu69) A Exploitation Slasher film from 2015 and tonight's movie is 'Headless'In this "lost slasher film from 1978," a masked killer wages an unrelenting spree of murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia. But when his tortured past comes back to haunt him, he plunges to even greater depths of madness and depravity, consuming the lives of a young woman and those she holds dear. So the film has a very similar vibe to Ryan Nicholson's 'Gutterballs', its got the 70s/80s slasher look but it is obvious that the film was shot digitally and not on actual film which is a shame. It's got the good gore effects the not so good acting and okay writing. The characters are decent not complex but its a slasher film so it doesn't matter. The killer is cool and brutal like BBK in 'Gutterballs'. Everything from a technical stand point is good lighting, camera-work, sound mix, editing, etc. The film has some surreal moments that I honestly think are reminiscent of Argento's work. The killers house is very 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'-esque and creepy his back-story is also one that reminded me of Frank from 'Maniac'. His house also reminds me of Frank's apartment in 'Maniac', messy and full of creepy stuff. The pacing is okay at least it keeps you interested in what is going on in the story. Its obvious that this film was not just made to cash in on the moderate success of Found or just to be a movie within the movie It was made because genuine interest in the source material and out of love for the slasher genre. On the gore meter from one to ten one being something like 'Nosferatu' ten being something like 'Braindead' Headless is a 6 lots of blood, decapitation and necrophilia!Its not the best slasher or horror sub-genre tribute film ever but its still pretty good. A very above average modern tribute to a age old genre. But much like 'Gutterballs' its not for everyone though 4.5/5 I can recommend it somewhat. Now Lets hope for a Headless part 2
