With the hotly anticipatednew
revamp of Sam Raimi’s horror
classic The Evil Dead having just
hit theaters, this X-rated homage
from BurningAngel to the same
source material is perfectly poised
to pick up some major traction
from both fans of the original
and those being indoctrinated for
the first time into the gore-
drenched cult franchise. And the
fact of the matter is, while some
purists will undoubtedly turn
their noses up at the remake as
utter sacrilege, they’ll likely be
much more welcoming of, even
eager for a gander at Joanna Angel and company’s take on the revered
zombie slashterpiece.
As well they should be. Because Evil Head is an instant classic in its
own right. This is Angel’s third horror-porn collaboration with director
Doug Sakmann, preceded by her 2005 breakout movie Re-Penetrator
and ’07 follow-up The XXXorcist. But while both of those were one-
scene shorts, this time they’ve served up a full-length feature, and it is
every bit the rollicking rollercoaster ride of gleeful grostesquery one
could hope for.
Tommy Pistol, the third key player from the other two
Angel/Sakmann endeavors, returns to the party as well, stepping into
the shoes of—who else?—Bruce Campbell’s Ash. Pistol is far and away
the most gifted physical comedian in the business, and he pulls out all
the stops here, turning himself into a living cartoon character at once
astounding and uproarious.
He and Angel have become something akin to the Burns and Allen of
porn; she, too, is at the top of her game here, and the two of them
together is simply magic. What other pair could pull off verbal volleying
like what follows while engaging in the carnal acrobatics of a double
anal penetration (along with Danny Wylde)?
Angel: “What kind of fucking husband are you? What is wrong with you?”
Pistol: “I’ll buy you a dress.
”
Angel: “This is what you want to do on vacation? You weirdo!”
Pistol: “You said you wanted to try something new.”
BurningAngel girl Kleio Valentine also turns in a dynamite
performance in the role of Shelly, the girl who falls victim to the
famous tree raping in the original. Except in this version, she invites
it, out of vengefulness over having just seen her man Scotty (Wylde)
splooge all over Angel’s face. So yes, she gets fucked by a tree. In
fact, it gives her a d.p. of her own.
There are delights abound throughout this movie, but for horror
aficionados, there’s also an unexpected bonus treat: the voice on the
reel-to-reel tape that awakens the evil spirit at the beginning was
provided by none other than Lloyd Kaufman. Yes, THAT Lloyd
Kaufman—the one who made The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke ‘Em
High, etc. There is a natural explanation for this, as Sakmann got his
start at Kaufman’s Troma Studios, but it’s still a killer coup.
Evil Head is without question one of the most outstanding
productions to ever come out of BurningAngel, and a high water
mark in the performing career of Joanna herself. Surely it will be a
treasure in any BA fan’s collection, to be hauled out again and again
for many years to come.

Somehow the thought of redheaded and freckled
Brooklyn Lee discovering massive Mandingo buried
deep in her rear is almost too much, but fortunately
this gamely gal does her duty quite well in this, her
first interracial release. Kagney Linn Karter likewise
opens her back door for dark meat lunging from
Lexington Steele’s loins. — Dirty Bob

Making this movie unique is the fact that everyone
donated their time and skills to it, and the proceeds
will be donated to a charity in honor of the Queen of
Clown Porn, Hollie Stevens, who passed away last year
of breast cancer. But the movie’s no downer, by any
stretch of the imagination. — Sherri L. Shaulis
