It has been a while since we’ve had a delightful homage to the 50’s sci-fi horror pics. We just got a look at the new comedy, B.R.A.I.N.S. and we are excited. The movie is a science fiction/horror film that satirizes our present day through the mirror of world affairs circa 1957 and at the same time an homage to the B-science fiction/ horror films of the 1950s that continue to influence and delight movie lovers to this day.
Synopsis: It is October 5, 1957 and with the Soviet launch of Sputnik-1, The Space Race has begun. Rogue Air Force General Frank Chapman (Trent Haaga) is determined to establish a military base on the Moon before the Russians. Using Nazi mad science, headed by Dr. Werner Brandt (John Kassir), General Chapman has outfitted a modified German V-2 rocket with a nosecone capsule just large enough for a human head. The cephalic pilot will guide the rocket on a one-way lunar mission — beating the Commies to the Moon!
Blending clips over a dozen film trailers and public domain feature films,B.R.A.I.N.S. aims to create an all-new movie filled with absurd comic insanity. If you have seen Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, you get the idea. Check out the trailer below.
