This film is not good. It's surprisingly gory and sleazy for an early 60s horror but it's utterly forgettable and sadly boring. It's just as awful as its title. It's pretty short but drags a lot. Like it's about a surgeon hunting for a beautiful body in various location to then attach the body to his wife's severed head and he spends way too much time on that, it almost fill the entire runtime. There's some unintentional comedy but I just couldn't make myself laugh as I almost completely lost interest. The final act was quite good but too long to get there. Not recommended.

Poor old "Jan" (Virginia Leith) is decapitated in a road accident - but, hey, don't fret pet - her doctor fianceé "Bill" has the solution and before long her head is alive and well and sitting in a basin of live giving fluid (might have been whiske More
