The Frozen Dead (1966)


Warner Bros.-Seven Arts
Directed by Herbert J. Leder
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Dana Andrews is a German scientist thawing out the Nazi elite after being frozen for 20 years. However, the process is imperfect on their brains, forcing him to keep them as prisoners at his English countryside estate. He enlists the help of another doctor who specializes in keeping dog's heads alive. They soon do the same to a visiting girl, whose head they keep alive in a box. She communicates telepathically to the doctor's daughter, who tries to find her. Despite the ludicrous premise, it's occasionally bizarre and atmospheric, featuring not only the speaking, living head, but a wall of living amputated arms that she controls!
