The Brainiac (1962)
5/10
A maniac with a lot of knowledge is a threat.
17 March 2010
Baron Vitelius Destera (Abel Salazar) is burned at the stake by The Inquisition, and vows to return 300 years later to exact revenge, just as Paul Naschy did in El espanto surge de la tumba.

Riding in on a comet, the Baron returns to seek revenge.

Do not expect a polished production; this 1962 after all! But, the brain-eating monster with the forked tongue is a sight to see! What a waste of a good long tongue. :-) He uses hypnotism to stun his victims before he sucks out their brains. Watching a father frozen immobile while his daughter is killed was precious.

The Baron always has a dish of brains around for a snack in between murders.

What an ending.
