Granted, I have to admit that I was expecting nothing from the 2023 horror sci-fi movie titled "Head on a Plate" from director Gary Dean Orona when I sat down to watch it here in 2024. Sure, I had never even heard about the movie, not that it would be a surprise, but I still opted to give the movie a fair chance. You don't have to venture many minutes into the storyline before you come to realize just the type of movie that "Head on a Plate" is, and trust me, it doesn't get any better as the minutes drag on. So writers Gary Dean Orona and Tabitha Stevens didn't exactly deliver an extraordinary movie here. The events in the storyline were odd and I have to say made very little sense, as if the writers were just trying a bit too hard to be too avantgarde. It made for a subpar viewing experience, because the storyline was a dumpster fire if there ever was one. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. And that is usually something I tend to enjoy when I watch a movie, as seeing new and unfamiliar talents and faces on the screen is enjoyable. Well, that requires that the new actors and actresses actually have talent and can put on enjoyable acting performances, which weas somewhat of a much needed commodity in "Head on a Plate". Wow, the special effects in "Head On a Plate" were exactly that; special. Do yourself a favor and don't waste 82 minutes on watching "Head on a Plate". Some of us suffered through this ordeal, in greater or lesser extend, so you don't have to. You're very welcome. "Head on a Plate" is not a movie that I would recommend to fans of the horror sci-fi genre. The only thing scary in the movie was how laughable of a story it was. My rating of "Head on a Plate" lands on a one out of ten stars.

WELL past their prime "adult" film stars mistakenly thinking they can be real actors.... Written, directed, edited, and produced by the same guy... No one else thought this film was a good idea... They were all abundantly correct. Acting is bad all around.. no one in the cast, and I mean no one, can act. The story is mostly just odd stares.. and a constant hum of background music. There's so much plastic in some of the faces, actual expression may be difficult or impossible. But I guess that does somewhat lend itself to the whole "alien" thing. Stick a few needles in your eyes and ears.. same general experience..

The only thing of any note that was interesting, and nice to view, was the pre film introduction starting images. After that there is nothing of any credibility to like; it becomes a nightmare to force yourself to watch through to the end! I recognized none of the players and I think they were amateurs. None of them had copious amounts of lines to speak and it was bland to listen to when anyone did do their script lines. I am sick to death of this 2023 year of films containing loads of females with messed up bodies of pointless tattoo's. Three of the four women in this movie are covered in them and they all look like stick thin malnutrition models and, nothing therefore visually good looking or sexy is even in view. There is no story whatsoever and no flowing rhythm in the scenes, due to it looking like its all disjointed and not knowing where its going and what its supposed to be. If it was a film school project it would be failed and used in future courses as the "How not to do a film" example. I regret even giving this a 1 star as it doesn't deserve a good mark at all; only bad marks!

"Head on a Plate," a 2023 horror/sci-fi venture, intriguingly combines extraterrestrial lore with a small-town setting near the legendary Area 51. The film's premise, centered around a shape-shifting alien species with an appetite for human brains, is both novel and promising. It invites viewers into a world where the unknown lurks around every corner, echoing the classic tropes of sci-fi horror. While the concept shows potential, the execution appears to fall short of fully realizing its promise. Despite the allure of its plot, "Head on a Plate" seems to struggle in engaging a broader audience. This is evident from the lack of substantial reviews and critiques on popular platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. The absence of critical discourse and audience feedback suggests that the film may not have resonated as strongly as one might have hoped. From a technical standpoint, the movie presents a mix of elements. The visual effects, aiming to bring the alien horror to life, vary in effectiveness, sometimes creating immersive scenes and at other times, leaving more to be desired. The performances of the cast are commendable, with each actor bringing a unique energy to their role, though occasionally overshadowed by the script's limitations. In conclusion, while "Head on a Plate" proposes an engaging and spine-tingling narrative, it seems to miss the mark in translating its concept into a cohesive and compelling cinematic experience. It's a film that might appeal to die-hard fans of the genre but might not find a place among mainstream favorites. For those curious about the intersection of horror and science fiction, this movie might offer an interesting, albeit uneven, viewing experience.
