THE HEAD (1959) – world premiere HD release - Blu-ray Forum

Ivo Scheloske · 07-31-2022, 09:03 AM

After a short summer break, we resume our release schedule with a little (and undeservedly mostly overlooked) masterpiece from Germany:

THE HEAD
(orig. Die Nackte und der Satan)

Horst Frank as a mad scientist, who not only manages to keep severed heads alive, but also successfully transfers them onto a new body. So, basically, he is a better surgeon than his british ehhh german – very well-known – counterpart.

This film represents kind of the (missing) link between the German expressionist movies and the exploitation films of the 70s (like the “Schoolgirl Reports”).

We are proud to present the film for the first time ever in stunning HD quality. And I think that the specs (especially in regards to the extras) show that we gave this film the “VIP treatment” it so much deserves:
