This is a silly film. A family lives on the edge of town and experiments on people. Lance (Blake Adams) discovers the operation and blackmails them. That was not a good deal.
The experiments which were the main plot point of the film were not really shown and explained but was rather ad hoc. We know the head wanted a body, but what exactly was he doing to get one? The film had erotic elements of Re-Animator.

I've done this before
One of Full Moon's strangest, most outrageous, and hence hugely entertaining films
Super smart giant head Myron (smoothly essayed by J.W. Perra) psychically controls his three dumber, yet equally weird siblings. Low-account redneck grifter Lance (a perfectly slimy portrayal by Blake Adams) and his saucy lover Loretta (well played to the sultry hilt by the insanely gorgeous Jacqueline Lovell) concoct a scheme to blackmail the family out of their sizable fortune. Naturally, things don't work out exactly according to the plan. Director Charles Band, working from a quirky and creative script by Benjamin Carr, relates the enjoyably offbeat and intricate story at a snappy pace, neatly mines an amusing line in inspired idiosyncratic humor (the movie reaches its hysterical apex with a crazy torture session staging of the final act to Joan of Arc),and ably crafts a flavorsome hillbilly atmosphere as well as a pleasingly off-kilter tongue-in-cheek tone. Moreover, the enthusiastic cast has a ball with the bizarre material: Bob Schott as hulking dolt Otis, James Jones as the freaky Wheeler, Alexandria Quinn as the buxom, but dim-witted Ernestina, Gordon Jennison Noice as Loretta's scruffy biker husband Howard, and Vicki Skinner as sassy diner waitress Susie. Adolfo Bartoli's bright cinematography gives the picture a cool stylized look. Steven Morrell's bouncy score keeps things bubbling along. As a tasty extra plus, the delectable Mrs. Lovell bares her exceptionally fine body quite often and handles her sizzling soft-core sex scenes with arousing aplomb. A neat little oddity.
Sure it's cheese, but it's fun cheese!
This is one of those movies where the point is to embrace the campiness. Yes, this is a B-movie; what were you expecting, Shakespeare? Not all of the acting holds up, it is true, but the leads do a fair job of selling their characters, and there is full awareness they are doing parody. To be honest, the plot holds together a lot better than a lot of wide-release horror movies with "name" talent. And yes, if you don't get distracted by her lovely form, Jacqueline Lovell is doing some honest-to-gosh acting here. If anything, the flaw with this movie (despite the premise of the title villain),is that it's not quite bad enough to be truly campy.
