Too much of everything

Excellent but underrated film

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This movie challenges the viewer to step out of their comfort zone and look into the deep and complex world of consumerism. It's a constant battle of consumerism and communism coming together to fight the common enemy of the gypsies. If you don't like this movie you also probably don't like puppies, vodka and the American dream. 10/10 any day , everyday.

I don't have many expectations of a B movie, but this one took what seemed like forever to set up.William Cole (Bruce Campbell) is the Ugly American businessman with the unfaithful wife Jackie (Antoinette Byron) on a trip behind the Iron Curtain. He runs into a cab driver Yegor (Vladimir Kolev) with a jealous gypsy girlfriend Tatoya (Tamara Gorski) who kills all three.Enter mad scientist Dr. Ivanov (Stacy Keach), and his assistant Pavel (Ted Raimi), who replace the damaged part of Cole's brain with Yegor's. Now we have a competition between an uber Capitalist and a Communist playing out in his body.If that isn't far-fetched enough, they put Jackie's brain in a robot.This movie just kept getting crazier and crazier. Funny at times, but crazy.

What can i say, if you are going to watch this movie expecting a "serious" plot, or anything close to that, then this movie is clearly not for you.But if you'd like to see some kind of completely-bizarre-science fiction-soap-opera-comedy, with the (even more bizarre) acting of, Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi.... Then (AND ONLY THEN) you might enjoy this film.I sat to watch this movie with not very good expectations (at all), everyone told me it was garbage, even for a Bruce Campbell fan. They said it was boring, and i must say: the story doesn't have much to show us, but i didn't get bored, not for more than 5 minutes, and i mean it. Despite it's very very very weak plot, the movie is fun to watch and even some of the problems Bruce goes through (consequence of having half of his brain, and the other half from a Russian cab driver) are actually pretty funny. Anyway, when i finished watching the movie, i felt like i watched an ULTRA-BIZARRE-SOAP OPERA, "SOAP OPERA" being the key word here.Not Bruce's best movie (far from it), but all in all, it's OK.5/10 i don't know how to call this... i'll label it as WATCHABLE.

I like Bruce Campbell from his Evil Dead and Army of Darkness roles so I was hoping The Man With The Screaming Brain would be better than it is. Unfortunately most of it is a bore. There is some good satire at the beginning of the film then it degenerates into a wannabe horror film. Ted Raimi steals the show doing a Shemp Howard (Three Stooges) impersonation which is certainly over the top but it's the only funny thing in the movie. The two women in the film look great -- Antoinette Byron and especially Tamara Gorski with her fiery eyes. Vladimir Kolev as Yegor the cab driver is very good. Stacy Keach is wasted, another aging actor placed in a horror film like so many have been in the past.You can see Bruce Campbell trying to pay homage to Sam Raimi's directorial style in a few scenes. Filmed in Bulgaria.
