Get this double-feature for the Frozen Dead, November 3, 2010
This review is from: They Saved Hitler's Brain + The Frozen Dead (DVD)
Although They Saved Hitler's Brain is ridiculously bad, the movie that it's paired with, The Frozen Dead, is one of the best post-WW2 explorations of the evil that the Nazis wrought on the world.
In an attempt to resurrect the Third Reich, former Nazi officers have put 1500 of the Nazi elite into cryogenic suspension, commissioning Dr. Norberg [Dana Andrews] to revive them. So far, the experiments have been a failure, leaving the revived demented and debilitated. What Dr. Norberg needs is a living, disembodied brain, to study its inner workings. When his niece Jean [Anna Palk] and her friend Elsa [Kathleen Breck] , Norberg's assistant seizes the opportunity and kills her. Dr Norberg separates Elsa's head from her body and conducts experiments in her ability to control other dismembered body parts. But Elsa has more powers than Dr. Norberg knows, and is plotting her revenge. An excellent exploration of the nature of evil and the will.
It's too bad that The Frozen Dead isn't available outside of dreadful collections of films, but this one is worth the price of the double-feature.

Amazing Movies, September 30, 2008
This review is from: They Saved Hitler's Brain + The Frozen Dead (DVD)
If you love bad movies then you have fallen upon one of the worst movies you will probably ever see next to Plan 10 From Outer Space, that is They Saved Hitler's Brain. This movie made me laugh like no other, that's because no other film can come close to how bad it was. At one point I fell asleep and woke up and was watching a whole new film. That's because it is two different films put together like Frankenstein's monster. The movie tries though it tries like a man with no thumbs trying to hitchhike, funny but sad at the same time. But I love these B movies that are so bad they are good to a certain extreme. But seriously if you like bad movies then this is a gem, a perfect gem. And it's about time you can find this stuff on DVD.
Then you stumble into another movie about preserving Nazis which is The Frozen Dead. This movie is a little bit better than the previous but it is also in its own world of bad. But that is what makes it good, the awesomely badness of the whole thing. When you see dead frozen Nazis stand up and walk around you will laugh like no other. Plus the acting is top notch that adds a perfect touch to the whole thing. These two movies together create a perfect storm of campy, tasteless perfectness. That explains this double feature DVD perfectly tasteless, campy fun. It's perfect for movie nights with friends or just for a good laugh on your own. I bought this for my friend and I am truly jealous and I think that I should have bought it for myself. Buy it, it is a diamond in the rough they don't make them like this anymore.
