A well-meaning scientist's attempt to aid the recovery of a war vet by implanting a device in his damaged brain is highly successful... apart from the unfortunate side-effect of turning his patient into a psychotic killer. The complex flashback-within-flashback structure of Blood of Ghastly Horror isn't a creative decision on the part of infamous schlock director Al Adamson, but his attempt to make one movie out of two. The result is exactly the kind of near-incomprehensible mess you'd expect, but at least it's never boring and there's some neat cinematography from Vilmos Zsigmond. The crime story, which culminates in a really quite good extended chase scene, is far better than the horror movie into which it's spliced.
