Watch Header For Free

I love this movie so much

the audience applauded

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

First thing is first: yes, the acting is fairly rough to terrible throughout Header. However, if you can bear through some of the awful acting work, it's pretty rewarding to watch something unique. Of course it's vile, but it works. Edward Lee wrote the story in 1995 (published by Glenn Danzig's comic book company), and it was bound to be made into a film by some sort of twisted mind (although I haven't read the novel): the movie adaptation has makings of a tragedy, but with a horror sensibility. We watch two stories simultaneously: ATF agent Stewart Cummings works in the backwoods of West Virginina presumably trying to keep a lid on the meth and moonshine business, and resorts to helping out some criminals while they sell big quantities of drugs so he can pay for his sick girlfriend's medicinal needs; meanwhile, Travis Tuckton is released from prison to go live with his disabled grandpa, and learns a devious backwoods revenge tradition from the old man called a 'header'. Soon, dead bodies pile up with holes in the top of their skulls, and semen-filled brains. These two men unknowingly intersect, as Cummings investigates the murders, and slowly begins to understand exactly what a 'header' is.It's absolutely hideous, and very graphic, but once again- it works. If only the acting was better this would be an absolutely horror classic. I would like to read Lee's novel, and see how the writing is compared to this script. I give it a 6 because there were a few moments where the acting wasn't atrocious, but mainly for the story, and all the dirty violence this movie contains without being any sort of apologetic for it. A raw, unflinching depiction of a crazy backwoods town from Edward Lee's imagination. 6 out of 10 stars.

I read numerous reviews about this film before purchasing. The reviews had me thinking this was a good, but low budget film. After watching the film a few times I decided to share my $.02. First, the overall film exceeded my expectations. There actually was a story and plot - often lacking in horror and indie films. Second, the special effects and setting were great. Third, I truly believed the characters and their interactions with each other. Agent Cummings truly loved Kathy. Grandpap and Travis truly cared for each other, heck, ignorance is bliss. I gave this film a very high rating, because it appears as some people are giving it a unfair "low" rating. If you want to compare this to a $20m Rob Zombie remake - you may not be satisfied. But if you want to compare on the basis of creativity and cost, it can't be beat! Again, just my $.02.

I was skeptical from the start, as low budget movies can sometimes be a waste but quickly realized there was something different about this film.From the first drop of blood to the very last sickeningly twisted encounter, I was sucked into a world where sadism and raw horror are married into the perfect cocktail.I am a grown man and a horror film fanatic, but was quivering through its entirety.No other movie grabs on quite this hard--YOU'LL LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT! (if you don't like it, I'm sure the Disney channel is still on...)

My comments are based on the following: 1) I've read the short story and enjoyed it (as well as other Ed Lee stories); and 2) I purchased the film and have watched it two times...Given the nature of the story and the fact that this was a INDIE production, I was very, very pleased. I mean, the film could have been XXX rated, but the filmmakers treated the material seriously without being exploitative. While some of the performances were a bit over-the-top, I found watching the film a second time added to the experience.If you were not happy watching it, a) this film (or any Ed Lee work) is not your cup of tea, or b) you need to sit down and watch it a second or third time...I have a bunch of friends coming over to view the film together. We will have some cold ones and I guarantee you, we will be talking about HEADERS for a long, long time.Just my opinion...
