The Head Returns (2020) User Reviews

Not A Head of it's Time

[hannesjungbeck · 6/10 · 10 November 2020]

I love James Rolfe and his many projects, and I've been watching since he posted his first video in 2004. I watched "The Head Incident" years ago but I rewatched it before watching "The Head Returns". James, as myself, is a huge fan of old movies, especially horror, and you can tell it's more of a love letter and an homage to both the genre and Rolfes own, older projects. The low budget or the homestyle effects doesn't matter, and it never did in horror. The editing could have been refined a bit, since a lot of cuts are 1-2 second too long, making it a bit dragging. The script also needs a few structural adjustments but overall I like the plot twists and the dialogue.

I enjoyed "the Head Returns". I like the nods the the original 'Head' and James even put out a disclaimer on his site stating that Covid-19 and other factors definitely affected the project, so don't hold too much against him. Definitely recommend if you're a James Rolfe fan.

I'm sorry, but it's just like those poor B movies.

I watched the original too so I could follow this sequel. I'll admit the music is very good and the cinematography is great, but the storyline and cheap scares really makes this a cheap B movie.

This is a not just a movie, it's a film made by a filmmaker who clearly knows his stuff.

Most of us know mr. Rolfe from The Angry Video Game Nerd, but he's so much more. He's also an actor, writer, director, actor, writer, musician, actor, art director, gamer, writer and actor.

At first I thought this was gonna be some generic horror knock-off, but it's much more than that. It's a story by a filmmaker, writer and actor.

Filming it in black and white also is a very original choice. Not many indie filmmakers do this anymore.

It's a real film, made by a filmmaker, actor and writer, who wrote, directed and acted in the movie.

Hollywood, give this man a camera so he can film in California before he gets burned out or runs out of time.

My rating: 5 stars out of 5:

Best movie of the year Interesting characters Made me laugh and cry at times Many funny faces by lead actor You should go and watch it !
