[Machine Translation] The brain is alive. A nightmare of the "head" created by mad science. THE HEAD", a unique film that has left its mark on the history of European horror films, was a West German science fiction horror film that had a strong impact on audiences in the late 1950s. The perverse setting of a genius scientist who is kept alive only by his head gives the film a peculiarly chilling atmosphere, linking the Frankenstein myth to the postwar European nihilism. The film was produced by the famous producer Wolfgang Hartwig. The visuals and direction are outstanding, anticipating the Euro-horror of later years. Combined with black-and-white images and gloomy music, it has been reevaluated as a "monster of the intellect" film that quietly erodes the psyche. The film is about Dr. Froben, a renowned neurosurgeon and scientific genius, who loses his body in an accident and is reduced to a mere head. However, his intellect remains intact and he is kept alive by the latest medical equipment. In order to complete his research, Dr. Froben manipulates his assistants to experiment on new bodies one after another. Before long, his research completely transgresses the boundaries of ethics, pushing him into a realm of madness where even murder is justified. The young doctor and his girlfriend learn that a "talking head" is behind the mysterious events that occur in the laboratory, and they get closer to the truth. But the will of the doctor, whose intellect has only grown, is ruthless, as if it scoffs at human conscience and love. The conflict between reason and madness, science and humanity, is depicted through the symbolic presence of a monster with only a head, in this horror science fiction film that will make you shudder.
