Shrunken Heads

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I loved this dark, funny, strange little film. The plot was brilliant, and held me and my friends through all the twists and turns. We laughed our heads off at all the hilarious, dead panned lines of Lt. Col. Aristide Pierre Lafite Sumatra, of the Ton Ton Macoute - the friendly neighborhood news vender and witch doctor. This was a real treat!
