"The Amazing Screw-On Head" is a 22-minute short film from almost 10 years ago and it has some famous names attached to it. Director Chris Prynoski may not be one of them, but other than him you will find Bryan Fuller, Paul Giamatti, Patton Osawlt, Mindy Sterling and Molly Shannon in the cast & crew list. I like almost all of them, but unfortunately still I was not really impressed by this one here. It has too much of everything, but does not elaborate convincingly in any area: superhero movie, drama, history, horror, comedy, fantasy... I wish it could have been more concrete in one of these and maybe done without 2 of the other influences. The animation style is also not exactly a favorite of mine, but that is a subjective perspective. Looking at the film's favorable rating, it appears that many think differently here. Still, I myself do not recommend the watch.
