Some have a tumor; others are just plain crazy. In the case of George Coulouris, he suffers from both a brain tumor and insanity, willing to kill just so he can live with a simple operation called a head transplant. Somehow, he ends up with the head and brain of Nostradamus, head hooked up to wires just like the woman in "The Thing That Wouldn't Die", learning of how his predictions have come true. Coulouris gets more and more murderous as he gets more desperate, resorting to shocking steps to get the procedure started. Robert Hutton is the young doctor Coulouris manipulates, risking his own reputation and freedom as the law investigates the gruesome killings.
Michael Golden has a tough job as for most of the film, he simply sits with his head stuck through a table, and as the operation goes into process, just looks ridiculous with his head now on a body surrounded by what looks like Lon Chaney's mummy wrap giving him a TV sized noggin (3-D TV, to be detailed). This is talky, often dull, humorless in spite of the silly looking poses Golden must act in. It also goes on far too long. I'd recommend this simply for bits and pieces of some memorable segments here and there (perfect for montages of sci-fi film history, but not much else.
