Ironically, I watched the remake a day after seeing the original in its entirety for the first time. It's an almost shot-for-shot remake, but they poke fun of its predecessor throughout, while also showing respect. I loved all the nods to the original, and they even show clips from other cheesy classic films in the background. Everybody did a great job. (It was also fun to see the late great Robert Blanche as a Joe Friday-esque detective trying to figure out what's going on. I had seen him in 'Leverage' and I was happy to see take a more comedic role before his passing.)
Dr. Bill Cortner is a brilliant doctor who has almost perfected a way to bring the dead back to life. After a tragic car accident decapitates his fiancé, he's able to keep the head alive and breathing until he can find the body of another woman to take her place.
While Bill goes out at night in search of a body, Jan in the pan makes friends with Bill's monster-like creature trapped in a room within the basement, and together, they will seek revenge against Bill.
If you love campy movies that spoof campy movies, you'll love THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE!!!
