A dark, visceral horror film that uses body horror and psychological torment to explore the tragedy of a consciousness trapped in an alien form, driven by the Baron's ruthless ambition.
Blackmailing a young couple to assist with his horrific experiments the Baron, desperate for vital medical data, abducts a man from an insane asylum. On route the abductee dies and the Baron and his assistant transplant his brain into a corpse.
