I caught the same vibe: Mad neurosurgeon Jason/Herb Evers cruising around in a late Fifties convertible and covetously oogling women's asses in his search for the perfect body replacement for truncated fiancee Virginia Keith. One of my forever favorite schlocky perverse horror flicks, as well as one of the classic "brainless brain" pictures. I've watched it something like a ka-zillion times. Some people might find that admission troubling.
The disclaimer on the Something Weird Video dvd warns of violence, nudity, and a really bad combover. What it didn't mention was the bad dialogue, enough chain-smoking that made my lungs hurt by just watching him (the fact that Mr. Patterson Jr. died from lung cancer absolutely blind sided me!😅), and the fact that this guy obviously hired "actresses" who were willing to make out with this dad-bod for very long, very uncomfortable lengths of time. My movie viewings are full of films that I could never finish, but this is one that always cracks me up!
For whatever odd reason this review puts me in mind of Monty Python's classic send up parody of Sam Peckinpah, which they titled "Buckets of Blood Spilling Out of People's Heads". Or something to that effect. Hilarious.
Egads...all I can say is that, here and there, the dude playing "Dr. Brandon" reminded me of the doctor played by Geoffrey Palmer in that Fawlty Towers episode ("I'M A DOCTOR AND I WANT MY SAUSAGES!") which made me speculate on a horror comedy of Basil Fawlty and Manuel robbing graves and making a monster. I would pay top dollar to see THAT movie!
@@Bigbadwhitecracker He was an odd fellow. He left a cat at my house and never came back to get it. They filmed what should have taken all day, but they did it in about an hour. The movie was unwatchable when it was finished. ...and yes, he was creepy.
@@ashleys9397 Yep. Hands down. Looks like it was shot on burlap and edited with a hatchet. But at least the story sucked. Patterson starred in it, also.
I always find it funny that in Frankenstein stories where they’re creating the perfect woman they always use different limbs. It’s like you can’t find a woman with a nice torso AND nice limbs? And surely the massive and garish stitches and wounds ruin the “perfection”
That's the problem with relying on the aesthetics of a misshapen lunatic henchman. Greg was deliberately looking for those kinds of women. "She is not good enough. Her left arm is only seven inches longer than her right arm."

Rumor has it that Yorgos Lanthimos, while overseeing the VFX work on _Poor Things,_ saw a sketch for a rabbit with J.G. Patterson Jr.’s head, and shouted “you fool, get him outta here!” This resulted in the creature being cut.
Yeah, j g Patterson who worked with herschell Gordon Lewis on blood feast and the gruesome twosome died during the production. He was also apparently a horror host at the time. They clearly just released the work print
I"ve been watching this channel for 4-5 years now and this is by far the creepiest movie reviewed. So unsettling in so many ways and the biggest problem is that i"ve already had a shower.
Back in 2000 to 2003, way before so-bad-it's-good movies became a common thing, my friend's and I used to get together and watch bad movies. Dr. Gore was our favorite. We must have watched it at least 6 times. Yeah, the ending is a real mess, bad voice dubbing, the clapper in the scene, and the bad cuts.
I remember being introduced to this Flic some 30+ years ago when I was in Film School! (Complete with a 12 solid minuet introduction by Herschell Gordon Lewis saying what a genius Paterson was!)
wrong movie, he died three years after this was made…two other movies were posthumously released: the electric chair and whiskey mountain, the one you’re thinking of
It’s weird that this is less creepy than Poor Things. And I think the writer/director/world’s greatest ladies man died before the movie was completed. On the Something Weird release there’s an intro by Hershel Gordon Lewis that fills in some of the blanks. Not many. But some.
Let us now join in praise of Something Weird Video---that inexhaustible source for all things terrible & perhaps best forgotten. An absolute treasure boon for bad low budget cinema lovers everywhere.
I will say this, I'm a person of habit, and as such, when it comes to this channel, my habit is looking for the videos with Red Thumbnails, because they're the ones I like the best. So as such, took me a moment to recognize this is one of the bad movie reviews. Once I did, I enjoyed it. May be a few hours late watching it, but thank you.
i don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing that your stitching advisor stitches severed limbs but for all i know she could be a retired doctor or military medic so i will just be glad that a movie got something right 🤣 i bow to you, madame, and hope your stitches are strong and in a neat line
1:27 oh, reminds me when I took the aluminum film of a notorious chewing gum and pinched the poles of an AA battery with it between my fingers... yep, that's the feeling when mixing conductors and electricity.
Synchronicity department: I started watching this movie last Thursday on the Internet Archive, gave up on it after 15 minutes, and now four days later this review pops up! What is the hidden significance?
Turn on the Closed Captioning from the very beginning. Is that what some would call a stream of consciousness? What other films give me an uncomfortable look at their maker's psyche? Anything from David Cronenberg, David Lynch and Sanrio. 0:28 looks like he is a part time plumber too. 3:44 that would definitely put a new spin if anyone ever decided to do a remake of *The Shining.* and remember: the safe word is "tin foil".
A poor man's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN? That would be giving this movie too much credit. This looks a lot like the early 70' stuff they kept pumping out for the drive ins. And looks like the cast was made up of the people working at the drive in as well ( YU GOT A STILL? ). Another film doomed to be shown over and over again on the local Tv station at 3 in the morning until the end of time.
Yeah, along with ATOM AGE VAMPIRE and GRAVEYARD OF HORROR. Both of which turned up regularly---too regularly---on the 12 midnight to 6 a.m. stations in Hel.A.
Rabbits are rather prodigious in their reproductive pursuits. I thought surely that rabbit would have been inadvertently thrown into the mix, for laughs.

Eugene Levy: "Or BRUNO!"
3D House of Rabbits
always nice when for once in a billion years someone acknowledges that the original hunchback was actually named Fritz
That new advisor looks like a pro, I hope she's asked for more bits of wisdom in the future.
Tin foil: it's not just for hats

It’s gotta be missing a reel. You blink your eye and Bam, He’s in jail.
So that's why my mad science experiments never work. I forgot to wrap it in tin foil!

This piecing together a perfect mate reminds me of the 2002 horror-comedy "May".
There is some superficial similarity---though MAY is a far better effort, one must say.
I read this director once worked for Herschell Gordon Lewis and did the gore effects. That would explain this movie's resemblance to HGL's work
He directed another movie called the Electric Chair and used my house. Talk about cheap. This movie (Body Shop) is 10 times better.

IMDB says this was released in 1972 but he died in 1975. Hard to believe he was only 42, or younger, in this film. He looks in his 60s.
Someone should have finished the film before it was released but Maybe they couldn't get permission.
"That might be the door." Or, really massive woodpeckers.
I barely noticed the clap board. Pulling it out of the scene slowly helped hide it.
I'm surprised that "the perfect girl" would have multiple surgical scars. But I guess a lot of different people make up the world.
A truly beautiful girl with the lovelyist stitchwork
I"ve been watching this channel for 4-5 years now and this is by far the creepiest movie reviewed. So unsettling in so many ways and the biggest problem is that i"ve already had a shower.
Fun fact: most of this film's budget was spent on casting Zach Galifianakis in the role of Greg the hunchback.
