Cabezas voladoras

This turned out to be a lot more of a comedy than a horror film. Seeing shrunken heads flying around was pretty unique and cool-looking but a lot more funny than scary. That's okay; I enjoyed it as a comedy.

There really wasn't much to this Grade B-horror flick expect a lot of voodoo nonsense, which was taken quite seriously in here. What a croc! I actually believe would take this stuff seriously.

Nevertheless, it's always satisfying to see a bunch of hoods get what's coming to them as our headless heroes did in here, seeking revenge on those responsible for their odd condition.

Talk about an original story! Fun stuff.

Shrunken Heads (1994) is a Full Moon Features movie I recently watched for the first time on Tubi. The storyline follows three kids bullied by some local hoodlumns. The hoodlumns plan a robbery and as they try to escape they run into the kids they bully and kill them. The kids friend is a voodoo expert who helps them return to "life" for revenge.

This movie is directed by Richard Elfman (Streeets of Rage) and stars Julius Harris (Live and Let Die), Meg Foster (They Live), Rebecca Herbst (General Hospital), Darris Love (Waist Deep), Bodhi Elfman (New Nightmare) and Leigh-Allyn Baker (Will & Grace).

This movie does a good job of not taking itself too seriously. The depiction of the era with the settings, attire and dialogue was a lot of fun (but more fun than good). I also liked their choices of background music for the scenes. The special effects are entertaining but not particularly well done and the kill scenes are also just okay and could have been a bit more creative.

Overall this isn't a great picture but it is worth a viewing. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Okay. Yes. The movie is cheesy. The effects are Just Plain Awful.

And yes. The plot (what little there is) is, frankly, ridiculous.

And I agree. The developmnet of the nearly non-existent plot is stupid and quite undirected.

Maybe the only reason I find this piece of unremitting schlock compelling was Rebecca Herbst. Hey! If she'll open her shirt for a nasty little shrunken head, there may be hope that, one day, a troll like me will get similar treatment!

This movie is the lamest movie of all time! I saw this movie on the sci-fi channel with some friends. We were all like, "Ok", what is the point of this movie? It was not confusing, but idiotic. If you like this movie, I have nothing to say, but if you haven't seen it, and come across it on TV, SWITCH the channel QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!

I picked up a copy of this at a boot sale last sunday for a pound. It's a quality low budget comedy/horror about 3 kids who are gunned down by Vinnie and the Viper Gang. Luckily Mr Sumatra the local newsagent and witch doctor revives them as 3 nasty little shrunken heads. If you are a fan of films like 'idle hands', 'Ghoulies' or 'Critters' you will love this film. It has an excellent Danny Elfman score great special effects and a tongue firmly lodged in it's cheek! It also comes from producer Charles Band who produced 'Dolls' & 'Puppet Master'. This is definitely one of the better full-moon horror movies. If you see this film - grab it! This movie has only been released in the UK once- on rental video. Time for a DVD!!!!
