I know in my head, Head of the Family is a bad movie. My heart however has a different viewpoint. The movie has no real plot, generic kills, and some terrible special effects. (The head is amazing though)

It's just such a fun movie, and very unique. The dialouge between Blake Adams, and the head had me rolling laughing the entire runtime. I've always been a fan of B movies. A person could argue that this is less of a B movie, and more a C movie. However my mind on it won't be changed. If you don't mind your Horror/Comedy being mostly comedy, then I say this is at least worth a watch. I've seen far worse movies with a lot bigger budgets.

Don't get me wrong. I've got a considerable soft spot for the works of Charles Band, both as producer and director. But you've got to raise an eyebrow when the man who was willing to put his name to "Dollman Vs The Demonic Toys" sticks a pseudonym on anything. As a bit of bad-movie fun, "Head Of The Family" is rather lacking, although it is better acted than you might expect. Jacqueline Lovell is a definite talent who deserves better than these kinds of movies. J.W. Perra is also quite funny as the titular monster, though for such a superintelligent being he does get hoodwinked quite easily. Y'know, I'm nitpicking because the rest of the movie is so sharp and witty of course....

And having a lead character called Lance Bogan? Nice one guys. We didn't know you Americans knew that piece of slang!

This film was brought to us by Charles Band who did a lot of horror movies back in the day. I do believe he was the person behind Full Moon studios which brought us many horror films, some good and a lot of them bad. One thing that can be said about his films though whether good or bad is that they were generally very short! This one was actually one of the longer films I have watched that he did and it was not horribly bad, but it was not good either. Basically, this film had a lot of talking and a lot of sex and nudity, but not a lot in the way of horror. I was not quite sure what to expect when I chose to watch it as I had it on one of those sets of DVDs that has a bunch of other films on it, but I sure as heck was not expecting this. I do not know if that is a good thing or not as I just watched this thing unfold and all I was getting was sex scene, talk, sex scene talk and maybe someone getting punched in the face to change things up. The positive about this formula is that the lead girl was super cute and another girl featured was also rather attractive, but I think the Loretta character was way more attractive than the Ernestina character though Ernestina was the one who was supposed to be super sexy and irresistible.

The story has three rather zoned out people to start and then flashes to a restaurant/store where an obnoxious biker who is apparently hated by most people in the town is making deals and being completely oblivious that his wife is having sex with the guy who owns the place. One night while he and the woman are continuing their affair they witness a strange roadblock and the guy investigates only to discover that there are some strange happenings at the house of the three zoned out people. He soon hatches a plan to use this strange family to take care of the woman's husband; unfortunately, he gets a bit too greedy and even after the family takes care of the husband he continues to blackmail the family until the head of the family devises a plan to get the man into his custody where he intends to torture the man for a while, but the guy who seems so stupid seems to somehow be able to counter the super smart head every step of the way.

One of the reasons that this film kind of doesn't work is the fact that the lead guy does seem to be able to easily outmaneuver the super intelligent man who lives within the house that is a lot bigger on the inside than the out as it looks like a large house, but not large enough to have a fairly large basement and sport an auditorium. Another problem is the fact that most of the movie is just talk, they discuss things a lot and then there is the sex, which is good because the lead girl is so cute and she is more than willing to take it all off more so than the one that is supposed to be super powered sexy. If this were a porn, it may be okay for it to follow this formula, but it is a horror film...granted it is one of those Full Moon horror comedies. Not going to say the comedy fell completely flat, but the horror was nonexistent. The payoff at the end sucks too. It was not terrible by any means, but it certain was not at the head of its class either.
