The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant
Dr. Roger Girard is a rich scientist conducting experiments on head transplantation. His caretaker has a son, Danny, who, although fully grown, has the mind of child. One day an escaped psycho-killer invades Girard's home, killing Danny's father before being gunned down himself. With the maniac dying and Danny deeply unsettled by his father's death, Dr. Girard decides to take the final step and transplant the killer's head onto Danny's body.
Why it matters
A lurid slice of early ’70s mad scientist madness that blends body horror with a bizarre family drama — and a two-headed creature feature that’s as weird as it is grimy.
- Legendary cult director Anthony Lanza’s low-budget charm shines through ramshackle sets and earnest performances.
- A showcase for practical gore effects that lean into the era’s knack for grotesque yet tangible creature design.
- Fans of schlock horror and exploitation cinema will revel in its unapologetic weirdness and moral murkiness.
- Less polished than contemporaries like Herschell Gordon Lewis, but its off-kilter premise and offbeat tone make it a must-see oddity for genre completists.
