The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant (1971)

aka The Incredible 2 Headed Transplant

How bad is it? Forgive the pun, but it's very wrong-headed.
Should you see it? Yes, but know it's tough sledding.

This is even worse than the very similar "The Thing with Two Heads," which I'll get to eventually. Bruce Dern, just before becoming an A-lister, stars as a mad doctor who transplants the head of a maniac onto the neck of a large man of, let us say less than average intelligence, who spends most of the movie speaking baby talk. The maniac goes on a killing spree, now having access to a new body and it's up to radio dee-jay Casey Kasem (yes, you read that right) to investigate and stop him. Pat Priest of  "The Munsters" also is involved.

This is incredibly stupid, but it's also slow and embarrassing and sometimes difficult to watch, not for gore or violence, but because it's degrading.
