The story of "Gimme Head" is right out of the B-movie horror genre -- but comedy-horror, not horror porn. It's a funny piece about a Bigfoot monster who decapitates his victims in the woods. And a group of college students who keep going out for more. They seem to think that if they do something different the next time, the outcome will be different too.
The acting is more like earnest people you might meet in a classroom or grocery store, rather than professional actors; and this is one of the film's strong points. It seems to try to put story ahead of technique, and the lack of artifice has a truthfulness to it that professional actors might not be able to achieve. In other words, in some ways it's more like a documentary than a feature film.
This isn't the film for you if you're looking for the level of work produced by top film school graduates -- film technique is not its strong point. You'll see film gear, wardrobe and props in the background; and at least one boom in frame. Too, it's a monster movie, and the monster seems to be a man in a gorilla suit (but its movement is actually pretty good). I would say better than John Landis in the banana monster flick "Schlock."
Despite all its flaws, the film clearly aspires to reach the heights (or depths) of two great movie directors: Don Dohler or Ed Wood. It seems to come close. It's just overall fun; and a good choice for film festival viewing or for a midnight movie at home with pizza and beer.
Oh, one more spoiler: there's boobs. It's a triple-B film.
