REVIEWS (1)
Brian has some quite strange neighbors: they regularly stock up on brain meat and own a strange little creature that lives in their bathtub. One day, the being, called Elmer, moves into the boy's house and begins to force Brian, now totally dependent on a hallucinogenic substance that the being injects into his brain, to kill to feed on the brains of the victims… A fanta-horror that, in a crescendo of splatter scenes (some of which are memorable) expresses a certain bizarre humor. The director, Henelotter, is an expert in the genre and knows how to entertain his audience, pity that some "cheap" effects created for the film seem laughable to the modern viewer's eye. Suitable only for lovers of the splatter-humoristic genre ("Bad Taste" and the like for understanding). The film is also known by the title "Brain Sucker".
