Alive… without a body… fed by an unspeakable horror from Hell!
Successfully funded through Kickstarter last year, director Derek Carl’s new take on Joseph Green’s The Brain That Wouldn’t Die has seemingly wrapped filming over in Portland, Oregon, as a small handful of first-look stills were just uploaded to the film’s official Facebook page.
Filmed in 1959 and released in 1962, the original movie (almost always found in multi-film horror DVD sets) focuses on a mad doctor who develops a means to keep human body parts alive. He keeps a woman’s severed head alive for days, and keeps a lumbering, misshapen brute (one of his earlier failed experiments) imprisoned in a closet.
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die is a satirical remake of the 1962 public domain B-movie of the same name. Both follow the misadventures of Dr. Bill Cortner, a brilliant but unorthodox surgeon, who revives the head of his recently decapitated fiancee, Jan Compton, in hopes that he can find her a new body.
Rachael Perrell Fosket, Patrick Green, Jason Reynolds, Mia Allen and Robert Blanche star.
Check out the first stills below.
