i saw creature with the atom brain when i be 11 year old . to this day and no horror film have scar me more . the opening credit be show over a view of one of the creature lumber through the wood with the accompany sound of a beating heart . at the final credit we get a closeup view of the creature face complete with the telltale stitch across his forehead . the carnage have begin i guess it be that these seemingly unstoppable creature look so ordinary and except for their awkward gait and gruesome stitch and that make them seem so scary . i have to walk ( run ) by some wood in the dark on the way home from this movie and i be quite convinced that one of these guy be go to stroll out from among the tree and break me in half just a the first creature and karl killer davis and do to his gangster victim in the opening scene . nobody should enter his garage without check to either side of the garage door to make sure one of the creature isn not lurk there wait to rip the steer wheel from your car before throttle you with one hand . this be not a high tech movie nor be it overly bloody and but the threat of body raise from the dead be able to bend the bar on a window a if they be well do noodle and take multiple gunshot without notice be more than enough to scare the pant of of an 11 year old . once the creature have you zero in and there be no hope .
