60/100
In its bravado and its commitment to its own perversity, it throws down a gauntlet at the rest of the genre. Make no mistake, when it comes to sheer shock value, it will be tough for other horror films to trump Header. Go to Full Review

Jenny N @Catrules May 3 It's definitely a different kind of movie if you like gore movies this one is for you it's a different kind of movie but must have a strong stomach to watch See more 01/15/2017 Imagine if John Waters had no sense of humor and no sense of pacing, and did not have interesting actors, and only one sick premise. See more 01/13/2012 For starters, don't watch Header unless you are one of my twisted film fans. Header is pure exploitation fare filled with sexual depravity, brutal violence, and a truly twisted sense of humor. Header concerns a West Virginia ATF agent whose sick girlfriend requires expensive medications to help offset her condition. To pay for her medications, the agent begins to compromise his morals and begins to slowly descend into a dark world of criminality. Simultaneously, a convict gets released from prison and reunites with his backwoods grandfather who has a strong desire for a perverse form of revenge known as a header. I won't give away what it is, although the film does early on. But I will say that it is truly depraved. Header aims for style in various parts, which it never quite achieves, but it is twisted exploitation fare at its finest: a blend of human drama with backwoods horror and completely black sense of humor coalescence into a thoroughly entertaining and brutal piece of trash. See more 10/15/2010 I'm totally speechless! What a great backwoods horror film, with some awesomely twsited and perverse subject matter! This one has gotta be seen to believe, folks. 3.5/5 See more 03/26/2010 Definitely the most fucked up hillbilly/redneck movie I've ever seen. Backwoods families apparently hate each other so bad that they are willing to do the nastiest shit they can possibly think of to eachother. If you want to know what a header is, give it a try, otherwise.... See more 08/02/2009 Wow this movie was simply terrible. All it is, is some grotesque twisted acts done by some idiot hillbillies, and a cop that gets mixed in with it. The story was lame and quite boring, i had to just skip through most of it. The dialog was just unbearable. I think i loss some brain cells just listening to these characters. The acting... what acting? from what i saw there was none, and if there was it was pathetic. Though you can't really blame them with this kind of trash for a movie. There was just no entertainment value whatsoever. The movie will only appeal to those with some sick gore fetish. Come on who in their right mind would want to see brain-humping? As for it being called a horror movie, its not. Its a snuff film, there isn't one moment that's thrilling nor scary for it to be deemed a horror movie. I really wish i hadn't stumbled upon this film. I read about two-three comments about it and they were positive. Totally baffles me how anyone, besides a pervert, would enjoy this movie. Even the focus on gore and sickness of the characters as the defile another human being was lame. Oh wow he killed another person and is having sex with a hole in their head... yawn. Overall rating: Bad movie You are better off not watching this film. See more Read all reviews
