Quick Hit

The Brain That Wouldn't Die either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. You can see the movie it wanted to be.

Full Take

The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
