"This twisted documentary had me balled up into a fetal position and
begging for mercy like a little sissy baby" - Hollywood Outsider
The hour-long documentary was broadcast on the Discovery and Learning
Channels, some of the most respected cable channels. It was also
selected for distinction, grabbing the Best Documentary Award at both
the Atlantic City Film Festival and the Brooklyn International Film
Festival.
But critics just can't get through 'A Hole In The Head' without being
"balled up into a fetal position and begging for mercy like a little
sissy baby," says Hollywood Outsider. "I can honestly say I would
rather sit through an autopsy than to watch a documentary footage of
some poor African woman having a chunk of her knoggin removed without
the benefit of anesthesia! Unbelievably graphic and very gory. Check
please!"
A Hole In The Head is a documentary about trepanation - the process of
boring a hole in the skull. A Hole In the Head examines the
development of "modern" trepanation as used by people in the United
Kingdom, the United States, and The Netherlands for the purpose of
attaining a higher level of consciousness. This procedure, used by the
ancient Egyptians, Incas, and others, is believed by the voluntarily
trepanned to allow for renewed brain pulsations that increase brain
blood volume and thereby improve brain function. Interviews regarding
the history and efficacy of the procedure are also held with some of
the world's most respected neurosurgeons and anthropologists.
"The content is so bizarre and the interview subjects so unfanthomably
eccentric that the staid approach doesn't matter. This is compelling
viewing, especially recommended for fans of recent shock-docs like
Sick, Hated, Chickenhawk, and Crumb." - AWCM
