Tubi Thursday: Severed Tied (1992)

 Another catch-up review, as I featured the German Box Art for this Film in 2019.

How is the actual Film though?

In this Fangoria-produced Film, a man is trying to replicate his dead Father's work.

He is trying to make a plasmid to allow limbs to be regrown.

It worked out for Curt Connors!

His Mom (Elke Sommers- above) is controlling him, while Hans (Oliver Reed) has his own motivations!

Can he make it work?

Yes, although it comes at the cost of his left arm- which is cut off by a laser.

He injects himself with the seemingly successful formula.

He ends up with some kind-of crazy Hobos- led by Garrett Morris- and continues his work.

You see, the formula worked.  His new arm is real...and reptilian...and alive on its own.

Okay, worked requires a few caveats, I suppose.

He keeps up his work, giving Morris a new leg.

Mom and Hans keep trying to find him and take his new lady- Eve.

Can he come back and get his revenge?
It is complicated.
To find out, stream it now.

A fun, chaotic Horror Film- at least to a point.  

The Plot is crazy, featuring random Black and White Flashbacks- right around the time that The Real World started doing Testimonials like that-, a bunch of odd Characters & many twists and turns.

Does it get too weird?
For many people, yes.
I'm still in it to win it for the crazy- like with Society or other Films.  It sure is alot to keep up with- no question.

I'm not sure that I ultimately love the way the Film wraps up- no SPOILERS though.
Crazy to think that this Director would go on to Direct Disney TV Shows and Movies (like Another Cinderella Story), Bring It On Again & Pure Country: Pure Heart.

I can see why the German distributor put a fake connection to The Thing in there.  The body horror- which is mostly done with puppet arms- is good.

Like with Children of the Night, you can see the Fangoria influence here.  I guess I need to see Mindwarp now, don't I?

A fun Film that is a bit all over the place Plot-wise.  For a creature feature, it is good, bloody fun though.
