This plot has got to be the most original, and surprisingly ahead (excuse the pun) of its time idea I have ever seen come out of the 60's sci-fi/horror movies. Think about it, a man described as playing God while being ridiculed for his actions by his peers, while today, we have people trying to do the same thing. Stem cell research, cloning, back then it was just science fiction, but today, it's real! How profound is that! I say this is worth more than most people give it credit. Yes, I would agree that there are a couple of goofy scenes, especially during the crash, when the doctor gets thrown out of the car. That definitely was a little hard to swallow. And then when he went up to the car and put his coat into the fire, and then pulled it out. I really didn't understand exactly what he was doing. And the monster... Well, I gotta say, he's got some big hands. They were almost the size of the assistant's head! But never mind the small goofy spots, indulge yourself and pay attention to the plot. You'll actually find it far ahead of it's time.

I had a heck of a good time viewing this picture, and was splendidly surprised at its more erudite features. First off, the film is undeniably cheaply-made with its cardboard sets, limited settings, and creative scientific props. The acting ranges from very poor(the two strippers), barely professional(Herb Evers as the leading man), gothic overstatement(Leslie Daniels as the assistant Kurt)to first-rate with Virginia Leith in the title role as the headless victim alive against her will for the benefit of science and her fiancee's lustful passions. The scripting though is very good and the dialogue is fantastic for a movie of this ilk. Issues abound about what role science and medicine have in our lives and what their boundaries should be. This film is a thinking film in many ways. However, don't be too fooled by its real intent. It is a sleazy story about a man obsessed with his aptitude in medical science who wishes to fuse together his dead girlfriend's head with the perfect body, thereby creating the perfect woman for a man with the best of both body and soul. One other very bright aspect of the film is the sax music which resonates strongly every time the doctor scours town for female beauties.
