Fun, campy sci fi goes wrong into horror

Fun, campy sci fi goes wrong into horror. Mark becomes the unwilling science experiment of his brother Andrew, a renegade doctor--both played by William Haze. After Mark is in an accident, Andrew keeps him alive by attaching his disembodied head to medical machinery, then replaces his body with a progression of robotics. Mark is trapped in this experiment that goes from bad to worse as Andrew goes mad. The film features innovative special effects for the bodiless head and for a scene with a very creepy spider. Filmed in Raleigh, NC.

This is a fun film that features some

This is a fun film that features some spectacular acting from the late William Haze and a fight scene you won't soon forget. I previously attended a festival featuring Pavel Nikolajev's film The Eye of the Salamander so I was very excited for the showing of Headsome and it did not disappoint. The story is superb and in true Sci-fi spirit, raises the question about the ethics of technology and should we cross certain lines just because we can. After an accident, a twin brother is met with this dilemma while his ambition as a scientist leads him to push the limits and reveal his secrets. After the showing, I had the pleasure of hearing Pavel and some of the crew explain just how they were able to create some of the amazing scenes without the resources of a big studio. Pavel has an incredibly creative mind for film making and with the help of some gifted makeup artists and craftsman, Headsome is fantastic! It's mind-blowing what can be done with very little and if you're interested in film-making, love and support Indie films or just movies in general, check out Headsome. It's awesome and you may be inspired to make a film yourself!
