Viewing Notes

Sunday morning matinee! Surprised I hadn’t seen this one bc it has an interesting premise that involves a living head and water dowsing, which I can think of only one other film I’ve seen that uses that plot device.

I earmarked this one bc it was said to be an influence on the Indian movie I viewed last week, Purana Mandir. Not sure I believe that but okay (both have a disembodied head).

In this movie the head can hypnotize people and it controls a couple of the women at the ranch to help find the rest of its body.
