Shrunken Heads is Great!!
I loved this dark, funny, strange little film. The plot was brilliant, and held me and my friends through all the twists and turns. We laughed our heads off at all the hilarious, dead panned lines of Lt. Col. Aristide Pierre Lafite Sumatra, of the Ton Ton Macoute - the friendly neighborhood news vender and witch doctor. This was a real treat!
Quality midnite movie for horror fans
I picked up a copy of this at a boot sale last sunday for a pound. It's a quality low budget comedy/horror about 3 kids who are gunned down by Vinnie and the Viper Gang. Luckily Mr Sumatra the local newsagent and witch doctor revives them as 3 nasty little shrunken heads. If you are a fan of films like 'idle hands', 'Ghoulies' or 'Critters' you will love this film. It has an excellent Danny Elfman score great special effects and a tongue firmly lodged in it's cheek! It also comes from producer Charles Band who produced 'Dolls' & 'Puppet Master'. This is definitely one of the better full-moon horror movies. If you see this film - grab it! This movie has only been released in the UK once- on rental video. Time for a DVD!!!!
Absolutely Fabulous!
This film is funny, witty, has a textbook perfect plot structure and flying heads. What more could a person want?
How did such an intelligent film ever come out of Full Moon? Not your typical Charlie Band fare. Don't let that color your opinion or stand in the way of your experiencing Elfman's wild ride.
Shrunken Heads is intelligent, and unique. The style hails to comic books, the premise is brilliantly ludicrous. Flying shrunken heads. How cool!!!
I adore the way this film mocks the sacharin disney flick, the puke inducing tripe that constantly invades theaters, eating childrens and parents minds. Shrunken Heads, is a sane mans defense against such crapola.
The weak of mind, the minions of normalcy's programming, the faint of heart..........may not be able to understand this little masterpiece. Infact, it will probably infuriate your feeble little mind. However that's what Elfman's here for. To shake things up. To restore the nations aesthetic.
But if you are smart, if you think for yourself, if you have a healthy aesthetic sense, if you are an individual, then Shrunken Heads is a DEFINATE MUST SEE.

These Guys Are Real 'Head Cases'
This turned out to be a lot more of a comedy than a horror film. Seeing shrunken heads flying around was pretty unique and cool-looking but a lot more funny than scary. That's okay; I enjoyed it as a comedy.
There really wasn't much to this Grade B-horror flick expect a lot of voodoo nonsense, which was taken quite seriously in here. What a croc! I actually believe would take this stuff seriously.
Nevertheless, it's always satisfying to see a bunch of hoods get what's coming to them as our headless heroes did in here, seeking revenge on those responsible for their odd condition.
Talk about an original story! Fun stuff.

The most weird and idiotic movie EVER!!!
This movie is the lamest movie of all time! I saw this movie on the sci-fi channel with some friends. We were all like, "Ok", what is the point of this movie? It was not confusing, but idiotic. If you like this movie, I have nothing to say, but if you haven't seen it, and come across it on TV, SWITCH the channel QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!
