Head of the Family

Avec son intrigue d’une simplicité puérile, ses dialogues vraiment idiots et son tempo de narration plus ou moins passable, c’est encore d’un niveau appréciable pour une production Charles Band ! Quelle chance que notre « cerveau de la famille » soit si présent à l’écran, parce que ses monologues de méchant ne sont pas piqués des vers ! Côté horreur, on repassera. Quant à l’aspect comédie, ça y répond par moment, dans la limite des possibilités. En tout cas, ça se laisse voir – surtout quand on s’attend à un film nul. [Sitges 2019] (16/10/2019)

Such a harmless, slightly crazy horror comedy. Cutesy stupid story in the first half doesn't focus on the "head of the family" and his siblings, but rather solves a love triangle of local individuals, which is eventually resolved thanks to them and gives rise to a new plot, where a bizarre family is now in the center of events. It's all quite chatty, but luckily I found the dialogues mostly funny and I didn't bite my nails out of boredom. In the end, it's not a hardcore filth, as it might seem at first glance, but rather a fairly mild trash, where the biggest sensation is caused by the perpetually naked Jacqueline Lovell - if dressed, it could easily run in the afternoon on TV Barrandov.

Head of the Family has several positive aspects, with the first being the special effects, which are good. I find this is something that is traditionally good in Band's films. The second aspect is that the film is quite daring and sexy in places. Then, it's just a pretty normal B-movie that can entertain you with its absurdity. I quite enjoyed it, even though the ending didn't really impress me. (08/04/2017)
