Head of the Family (1996)
Directed by Charles Band

Starring Alexandria Quinn Blake Bailey Bob Schott Jacqueline Lovell James Jones

A pretty weak horror film that may or may not be officially based on a horror tale I saw years ago in a "Tales From the Crypt"-type comic book. Like that long-since-forgotten story, this is about a family of freaks, each of whom represents a different part of the human body. The "head" of the family is literally a giant head.

The comic book was much better. In this version of the story, the flawed protagonist tries to get the mutant family to kill the biker husband of his girlfriend. Of course things go terribly wrong. It's a shabbily done movie, with lame special effects, a weak story, bad acting and a sex scene thrown in featuring the voluptuous daughter of the family. Pass on it.
