A very clear and conscious attempt to cash-in on the relatively new "midnight movie" or "cult film" phenomena (despite it's year listed here, this began filming in the late 1980s). As with almost any film so desperately trying to be a "cult hit", this one fails on all fronts.
It's wooden, stilted, poorly scripted, crappily directed and horribly acted. If you like to laugh at bad films, this one ain't for you. There's nothing remotely funny going on here. Nadda. Zilch.
So get off your sofa, smash your head into the wall, drink another 40 and sit back down on your sofa and put in an olden tyme VHS of some Al Adamson film to drown out the pain.
This film? We shall never speak of it again.

Plot summary
Andy, an idealist medical student with a serious Elvis obsession, works to perfect his rat-to-rat brain transfer to "help mankind and change the face of modern science". After his final experiment fails and blows up, Andy loses his chance to travel abroad and study at the prestigious Reinhardt Institute. With his future in doubt, and with no place to live, his future looks bleak. Little does Andy know that his beloved professor and mentor, Doc Crosby, is actually a mad scientist who has been murdering people and stealing their brains for experiments in his makeshift "black and white" laboratory. When Doc realizes that his own brains so severely damaged from experimenting on himself, and that he will be dead in a matter of hours without a successful brain transfer, he hatches a scheme to acquire the thirteen human brains needed for his "brain pyramid". Knowing that Andy is homeless and that college kids can't resist having big parties, Doc invites Andy to house-sit while he goes away on "business". After he frees his deranged lab assistant from the insane asylum, and with his house now full of healthy unsuspecting college kids, Doc's trap is set. When the party begins, so does the deadly game of cat and mouse. Will Andy save his friends from the scalpel of a madman, or will Doc succeed in his murderous plot to save his own life by completing the first even human brain transference procedure?

absolutely painful to watch
Very fun and entertaining movie
If you are a fan of over the stuff 80's cheese, gore, and ridiculousness. This movie is right up your alley. The lack of reviews on here and the poor rating is why I felt compelled to write this. This movie is not for everyone but this movie knows it's over the top and has a lot of fun with it. Check it out.
Super Funny Movie
This movie is a classic! Funny, scary, campy and an hommage to 1950's sci-fi and 1980's Horror. Perfect for a midnight show.
