I thought this movie was amazingly funny. It had good acting and the lines that came out of Miron's mouth were great. It could of done without soooooo many sex scenes though. The Stackpools are a strange family. Everyone in the family has some strange size or shape. This goes without saying for Miron, the head of the family. Lance, a small town guy, is trying to get a hold of stackpool's money but as you might imagine Miron is not very happy about this. This is a good movie with loads of laughs but please if you're going to watch this movie do not go in expecting a horror movie. This a scifi/comedy. If you go in ready to watch a horror movie you're going to be very disappointed.
Don't get me wrong. I've got a considerable soft spot for the works of Charles Band, both as producer and director. But you've got to raise an eyebrow when the man who was willing to put his name to "Dollman Vs The Demonic Toys" sticks a pseudonym on anything. As a bit of bad-movie fun, "Head Of The Family" is rather lacking, although it is better acted than you might expect. Jacqueline Lovell is a definite talent who deserves better than these kinds of movies. J.W. Perra is also quite funny as the titular monster, though for such a superintelligent being he does get hoodwinked quite easily. Y'know, I'm nitpicking because the rest of the movie is so sharp and witty of course....
And having a lead character called Lance Bogan? Nice one guys. We didn't know you Americans knew that piece of slang!

I know in my head, Head of the Family is a bad movie. My heart however has a different viewpoint. The movie has no real plot, generic kills, and some terrible special effects. (The head is amazing though)
It's just such a fun movie, and very unique. The dialouge between Blake Adams, and the head had me rolling laughing the entire runtime. I've always been a fan of B movies. A person could argue that this is less of a B movie, and more a C movie. However my mind on it won't be changed. If you don't mind your Horror/Comedy being mostly comedy, then I say this is at least worth a watch. I've seen far worse movies with a lot bigger budgets.

In an effort to steal one man's wife, the protagonist Lance has a family of freaks kidnap the man and he then blackmails them to keep the whole affair silent.
Many and perhaps most people would write this film off as being incredibly stupid and a horrible movie. And maybe they're right. But I think there are some things in this movie that should not be overlooked.
First, the sheer excess of nudity and sexual activity. While in most films it would be completely unnecessary, this film seems to realize how silly the whole thing is and continues pushing the nudity to become even more outrageous. Half the plot develops while the main female lead is nude.
Second, the plot is more intricate than many might assume. The plot, as outlined in my first sentence, is nothing spectacular. But they made the plot deeper and more serious when they put in a series of "what if" moments that arise when we hear about he hiring of multiple lawyers for use in the blackmail plot. What could have been a simple device is now a battle of the wits.
Third, the film seems stupid because the ideas are silly and the nudity overshadows the rest of the film. But actually pay attention to the dialogue and you'll see the writer is a clever wordsmith. Such phrases as "foul play of the permanent variety" suggest this man would have had a good contract working for "Buffy the Vapire Slayer".
If you like cheesy horror films, this is one you shouldn't pass up on. And you know it's cheesy because it's Full Moon Entertainment (makers of the "Puppet Master" series). While the gore is at a minimum, the b-movie schlock is at an all-time high!

Head of the Family is cheesy B-movie trash at its best, the plot if there is one revolves around mutant quadruplets that are control by their brother who just happens to be a giant disembodied head. The plot good as it sounds really takes second stage to a number of cheap special effects and several sexy scenes. The star of the film is ex-porn star Jacqueline Lovell better known as Sara St James who plays a cheating wife looking to have her husband killed. Lovell gives a performance worthy of better source material and she gives the you the impression that a name change and a career move could prove very worthwhile for her. The film works because it doesn't take itself seriusly, the plot is crazy, the characters are shallow, the effects will make you laugh and the girls are sexy while losing their clothes at every chance they get. Despite of all of this you laugh with the film, its a bad film and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. The film while never rising above its B-movie roots does entertain for 82 minutes and if you want a Friday night popcorn movie you could do much worse than this.
