Vitelius vows that he will come back to wreak revenge on the descendants of his executioners. Three centuries pass and in 1961, Baron emerges from a fallen comet to fulfill his deadly prophecy, reincarnated as a hideous, forked-tongued, brain-devouring monster. In the guise of a handsome, wealthy, dashing socialite, he hosts a formal party for the doomed descendants of his tormentors. One by one they meet their gruesome lobotomized fate until the beautiful miss Victoria remains the sole survivor. Will she escape the wrath of the Brainiac or will she become another tasty hors d'oeuvre placed in an urn from which he takes his cerebral snack? This entertaining schlockfest was originally released as El Baron del Terror. Abel Salazar, who also produced the film, maintains a sullen, creepily detached presence. Not for the squeamish, The Brainiac is a must-see spectacle for any self-respecting horror buff.
