| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Forgotten Early 90s Horror Films-Part 2! |
| I hadn't seen this movie for quite some time, maybe not since it first came out. That in itself is kind of an interesting sidenote. You see, I live in Wisconsin(for all those legions out there who want to know all about me they can), and when this movie first hit theaters, it was almost immediately pulled. This movie had come out at almost the same time as the whole Jeffrey Dahmer story broke, and I suppose the powers that be thought it would be in bad taste to have a movie called Body Parts in the theater even though the film had zip to do with the Dahmer case.
Anyhow, the movie didn't live up to that kind of notoriety, but was a fun little piece of nonsense regardless. The central question asked throughout the movie is, "Where does evil live, in the flesh or the soul?" Sounds quite introspective, but it's rather silly to think that having an arm from a serial killer transplanted onto your body would make you dream and start to act violently. But that's the premise. Jeff Fahey is the recipient of the evil arm and he starts to look further into things when the goofy side effects begin. He finds a guy who also got the legs, and a painter who has the other arm, and tries to convince them that something weird is going on. The painter's new and celebrated paintings are images of the killer's victims, but he's selling more now than he ever did, so why should he care? Fahey's family starts to fall apart, and his doctor isn't the slightest bit helpful coz she's more interested in what she's accomplished with the operation. If that weren't enough, somebody is now stalking the trio and taking back their recently transplanted body parts. Who could it be?? Body Parts is about as good as I remember it being. It'll never be known as a horror classic, but the rather ludicrous idea is handled decently enough, and it does avoid being laughably bad. Fahey does a good job in a rare hero role, and Brad Dourif seems kinda underused as the painter with arm #2. It's worth your time, and decently priced so you won't have to pay an arm and a leg to see it(sorry about that, but I had to find a way to work that joke in there). |
