Disembodied

This film was originally released by Spectrum Entertainment, an organization that exploited independent filmmakers and never paid them any money for distribution. After screwing over the producers, this distributor promptly vanished from the earth (probably because they were subject to lawsuits). The film Disembodied, however, is going to be re-released in a Director's Cut, in both Blu-ray and DVD. It is inspired by traumatic dreams of the director, the 50s film "Daughter of Horror" and the great Frank Henenlotter's "Basket Case." A new, rich symphonic music track and special effects which were originally too complex to be produced properly will be included in this release, which will extend the stop motion animation seen in a few scenes in the original version.

I think I'm going to write to the powers that be at IMDb and urge them to adopt a zero star rating. The first film which be in that abysmal category? Why, Disembodied, of course. And to think my friend had suggested I spend my time picking the lint out of his belly button! I should've. That would've been more fun that this sub-amateurish stinker.

As far as bad movies go, this is good, if you know what I mean. The only reason to rent or obtain this film is to torture your enemy to death. You strap him in a chair, apply those clips that force your eyes open like 'A Clockwork Orange', then play this movie. Believe me, you'll get a confession out of him in no time. Forget waterboarding. Just thread this torturous film through a projector and press play. If that doesn't cause your enemy to betray his bosses, nothing will.

Disembodied is a cool, independent film filled with creepy effects, great sets and an imaginative story. Poor Connie and her troubles with her brain! It's heartfelt, funny and super gross at the same time! My favorite parts are the incredibly disgusting bathroom and hotel; the freaky night clerk and his educational documentaries; Connie and Trixie's friendship; the stop motion animation and other effects and the musical score. The film definitely has a surreal feel, but the story is compelling and easy to follow. There's also a hint of 1950's sci fi, which I appreciate. The actors, all amateurs, do a great job. Check it out if you enjoy strange sci fi and don't mind a bit of gore.

I grew up in rural Indiana. I was 13. Every weekend I'd rent as many low budget horror films as I could afford and watch them from Friday night until Sunday night. I found this movie on the Dollar Rental shelf at a family owned video store and it sparked an obsession for me. I probably rented it half a dozen times. The video store I rented it from went out of business a few years later and I thought the movie was gone forever. By happenstance, I found a VHS copy for sale in a comic book shop when I was in college and purchased it IMMEDIATELY, afraid that it'd slip through my fingers like smoke. Disembodied is my favorite bad movie of all time.

"Bad" isn't the right word for it though. It's cheap, it's hokey, it's kinda incomprehensible at times, but I LOVE it. It's violent, it's weird, it's gross, it's imaginative, it's crazy, and it deserves more credit than it gets. I have shown this movie to everyone I know. I showed it to my friends. I made my mom watch it. I watched it with my grandma (who also loves it, by the way). Every person I've dated has sat through it with me. In the early 2000s, I bought a VHS to DVD converter and burned the movie to a disc so it'd survive forever. I have multiple copies of the DVD just in case one gets scratched. I've ripped the DVD to my hard drive, just in case.

The movie is insane, and I just found out the director is making a remastered version for BluRay and I am going to buy it BECAUSE this movie has been a part of my childhood, my friendships, and my family for over a decade. I'm going to add the BluRay to my collection and when I die, I'm going to be buried with it.

This movie has absolutely no plot, budget or point. Save yourself the trouble of renting it and simply bang your head against a wall for a couple of hours... the after effect will be the same. The tagline says that it is "Deviant. Psychotic. Demented" this is in fact not true... In order to enjoy this movie for something other than a twisted comedy value you would have to be all of the above. I will admit that the video is so bad that it becomes funny, but this is not a good enough reason to want to watch it in the case of this film. There is probably a good reason that the vast majority of the people involved in this film have never done anything else - because you would not want to hire them after watching Disembodied. I like watching bad horror flicks, but this goes beyond that to somewhere very mentally painful. I recommend going to the dentist over watching this video
