Head of the Family

I thought this movie was amazingly funny. It had good acting and the lines that came out of Miron's mouth were great. It could of done without soooooo many sex scenes though. The Stackpools are a strange family. Everyone in the family has some strange size or shape. This goes without saying for Miron, the head of the family. Lance, a small town guy, is trying to get a hold of stackpool's money but as you might imagine Miron is not very happy about this. This is a good movie with loads of laughs but please if you're going to watch this movie do not go in expecting a horror movie. This a scifi/comedy. If you go in ready to watch a horror movie you're going to be very disappointed.

A muscle man, a trollop, a big head brain, and a sensitive guy, make up the ultra-weird Stackpole family. They get their chuckles by waylaying strangers, giving them a lobotomy, then caging the victims in the basement for their amusement. Enter a diner owner, who's fooling around with a psycho biker's wife. Blackmailing the Stackpoles into getting rid of the brutish biker, he then puts the bite on them for money, which forces the plan to quickly spiral out of control. "Head of the Family" is outrageous and has enough dark humor to satisfy the "black comedy" crowd. There is very little gore, but be prepared for at least a bunch of nudity, including full frontal. Recommended of it's type. - MERK

I was suprised at all the negative reviews, this is actually a darn good film from Mr. Band. "Benjamin Carr" coughs up a decent enough screenplay full of quirky characters and clever one liners. The head is genuinely creepy and the other characters are completely sleazy. Highly recommended, one of full moons better films.

Head of the Family is cheesy B-movie trash at its best, the plot if there is one revolves around mutant quadruplets that are control by their brother who just happens to be a giant disembodied head. The plot good as it sounds really takes second stage to a number of cheap special effects and several sexy scenes. The star of the film is ex-porn star Jacqueline Lovell better known as Sara St James who plays a cheating wife looking to have her husband killed. Lovell gives a performance worthy of better source material and she gives the you the impression that a name change and a career move could prove very worthwhile for her. The film works because it doesn't take itself seriusly, the plot is crazy, the characters are shallow, the effects will make you laugh and the girls are sexy while losing their clothes at every chance they get. Despite of all of this you laugh with the film, its a bad film and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. The film while never rising above its B-movie roots does entertain for 82 minutes and if you want a Friday night popcorn movie you could do much worse than this.

I know in my head, Head of the Family is a bad movie. My heart however has a different viewpoint. The movie has no real plot, generic kills, and some terrible special effects. (The head is amazing though)

It's just such a fun movie, and very unique. The dialouge between Blake Adams, and the head had me rolling laughing the entire runtime. I've always been a fan of B movies. A person could argue that this is less of a B movie, and more a C movie. However my mind on it won't be changed. If you don't mind your Horror/Comedy being mostly comedy, then I say this is at least worth a watch. I've seen far worse movies with a lot bigger budgets.
