Brain Damage (La maledizione di Elmer)

I caught Brain Damage on ScreamTV and was pleasantly surprised, yet not wowed enough to give this 1980's low budget horror/comedy more than a 6.

Brian (Rick Hearst) wakes up one day feeling awful. His girlfriend, Barbara (Jennifer Lowry) comes over to see where he's at. Well, he's too sick to go out so his roommate/brother Mike (Gordon MacDonald) fills in. Comes to pass, some worm-like alien life form that looks like a blue turd has escaped from the neighbors' apartment and has now taken Brian on as its host. The creature, Aylmer (pronounced Elmer), is able to gives Brian a hallucinogenic rush into his spinal cord. In return, it demands to be hooked up to living human brains. What ensues is Brian spiraling out of control under Aylmer's influence as he becomes a complete drug addict and unleashes Aylmer's killing spree in some creative ways. The film, while very gory, is also kind of funny, yet sort of in the middling range of this genre.

As an aside, I will say there are some awesome male twink shots just about halfway through, one of MacDonald in his tights whiteys and one of Hearst showing his bare butt.
