In Joseph Green’s pulpy sci-fi nightmare, a mad doctor keeps his fiancée’s severed head alive after a car crash—and begins hunting for the “perfect” body to stitch her onto. But Jan, now just a voice in a pan, seethes with rage and telepathic power, forming a psychic bond with the abomination locked behind a steel door. Cheap, sleazy, and deeply strange, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die drips with drive-in dread and surgical hubris.
