When three teenage boys are gunned down in the street and a creepy old man saws their heads off after the funeral, you know you're in for some wacky hijinks and misadventures!
Tommy, Bill, and Freddie are three comic book loving boys who return to life as Shrunken Heads thanks to their local shopkeeper / voodoo man, Mr. Sumatra. Mr. Sumatra used to be in the Tonton Macoute, which is a little like finding out that Sesame Street's kindly Mr. Hooper used to fly in the Luftwaffe. Through the well-known, traditional Shrunken Head powers of "flight" and "shooting lasers from their eyes" the boys embark on a mission of revenge (Cool!) and seduction (Disturbing!)
The decade is indeterminate, the tone inconsistent. And you'll never look at Whizzo The Clown the same way again! Maybe that's a good thing...? Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Shrunken Heads!

A supremely odd movie. A good riff and fascinating to watch since you have no idea where it's going.
As always on these VOD releases we're left not knowing what might have happened during the 9 minutes that seem to be missing. I really wish they'd stop cutting these movies down and just riff them as released. On the technical side, they stepped on a lot of dialog where I'd like to have known what was being said in the movie.
Still, it was enjoyable, different, and interesting. Recommended.

YOU WATCHED IT! YOU CAN'T UNWATCH IT!
This is pretty much my summation of the film.
