From Frank Henenlotter, creator of Basket Case, comes Brain Damage — a twisted body-horror trip through 1980s New York. When a mild-mannered man becomes host to a parasite named Aylmer that injects him with euphoric blue fluid in exchange for fresh human brains, addiction and insanity spiral into psychotropic nightmare. A cult blend of gore, dark comedy, and surreal urban decay — one of exploitation cinema’s most bizarre highs.

From Frank Henenlotter, the man behind such cult horror favourites as Basket Case and Frankenhooker, comes Brain Damage the ultimate head-trip, now finally on Blu-ray!

Meet Elmer. He’s your friendly neighborhood parasite with the ability to induce euphoric hallucinations in his hosts. But these LSD-like trips come with a hefty price tag: when young Brian comes under Elmer s addictive spell, it s not long before he finds himself scouring the city streets in search of his parasite friend s preferred food source brains!

Featuring late TV horror host John Zacherle as the voice of Elmer, Brain Damage boasts some of the most astonishingly bad taste gore gags ever realized, including the notorious brain-pulling sequence and a ****-job that ends with a distinctly unconventional climax.

One morning, a young man wakes to find that a small, disgusting creature has attached itself to the base of his brain stem. The creature gives him a euphoric state of happiness but demands human victims in return.
