Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
A muscle man, a trollop, a big head brain, and a sensitive guy, make up the ultra-weird Stackpole family. They get their chuckles by waylaying strangers, giving them a lobotomy, then caging the victims in the basement for their amusement. Enter a diner owner, who's fooling around with a psycho biker's wife. Blackmailing the Stackpoles into getting rid of the brutish biker, he then puts the bite on them for money, which forces the plan to quickly spiral out of control. "Head of the Family" is outrageous and has enough dark humor to satisfy the "black comedy" crowd. There is very little gore, but be prepared for at least a bunch of nudity, including full frontal. Recommended of it's type. - MERK
Now I got to admit, there is allot wrong with this film, there are serious character issues. For one, the Stagpool family is doing twisted experiments and murdering people. Lance is a hood that blackmails them, so he's not much of a hero either. So, again like BLOOD DOLLS, with two opposing sides both bad, it's hard to know who to route for. But the Stagpool mutants are kind of cool, Myron is my favorite of the male members of the family. Now he said he has a fascination with the human brain, but what was the goal. Brain experimenting without a goal is just playing. The character issues aside, it is a watchable movie during a late night and you can't sleep. 7 STARS.
This movie was not only disappointing to the horror/suspense film lover, it was disappointing to anyone who sees it. WoW. I thought that this film might be funny because the guy with the huge head. However, it was filled with long and drawn out conversation that wasn't needed. There was so much sex that I hate women and men now. This film was not only boring, but there was no substance. Wow. Wow. On to of all this, each scene looks like it was light from a single light bulb, and I think they used the same set for two different lawyers, a restaurant, and an airport. This movie is not for the movie lover who loves bad movies because in the end, it feels likes wasted time. See the movie!-party
I'm a big fan of Charlie Band and Full Moon Pictures, and thoroughly enjoyed this odd horror-comedy.As with many Band films, he enjoys little characters that he likes to animate, and The Head(J.W. Perra) gives Charlie just that kind of character.The Head controls his dimwitted siblings, and orders them around like henchmen.This film has witty dialogue, that one doesn't expect from such a film, and actors perfectly suited for the corny plot. Blake Bailey was great, portraying a clever redneck scamming The Head into giving him a weekly inheritance. Jacqueline Lovell augments Bailey perfectly, as they play off one another brilliantly. Its a shame Jakki Lovell is basically doing softcore garbage now, that doesn't allow her to showcase her acting talent, only her exceptional form.A person can rent a better movie, don't get me wrong, but this is very fun and witty, with a clever country taste to it.
