The Lobotomy (1980)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Buddy Giovinazzo's first short film is about a sex maniac who is forced to go for a lobotomy. At just seven-minutes there's nothing too ground-breaking here but if you're a fan of the director's work then you'll probably want to watch this as well. The film certainly has a surreal and rather strange atmosphere to it and I thought the early scenes inside the hospital were the best. I really liked the set-up of this psycho who is in his ward touching himself, which leads to a couple nurses entering at the wrong time. There's really not too much that happens in the film but I thought the director did a good job with the atmosphere and that alone makes it worth watching.
