As a long-time lover and collector of Indie and foreign horror films, I thought I'd seen it all. Delightfully, I was wrong! This movie starts with a hard punch to your sensibilities and then never let's up until the jaw-dropping, eye-bugging end.
Creepy, horrific, disgusting and totally disturbed-everything a horror movie should be!
Well acted, beautifully shot, and with a haunting music score-you'll never forget Header!!!

It was a stupid B movie with a horrible plot and really bad acting. The story is disturbing but all around the movie was really bad.

Not great, but not bad!

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2014

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! Despite the horrific premise of the "header", this is a halfway-decent crime-drama, featuring a DEA agent who is slowly descending into madness! In trying to support his girlfriend's medical needs, the agent works both sides of the law, ever-looking for the big score. The "header" kills are really only a sideline of the main story, whereby the DEA agent develops an interest in trying to find the killer, ultimately becoming one himself. The "header" is graphically portrayed in this film; in essence, one cuts a large hole in top of victim's head, a vertical opening is sliced in the brain with a knife, and then sexual penetration takes place. Not one for the kids or a date night; still, it is worth a quick watch for those of us who just have to see what all the fuss is about!

I knew what I was getting into with this movie, being a long time Edward Lee fan. It was like stepping into the book itself, and I understand the authors glee with his vision coming to life. Some scenes made me cringe and giggle at the same time. If you like shocking/twisted/gory movies and books, give this movie (and your stomach) a chance.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2009

Read a lot of hype about this movie. Kudos, to all the reviewers that kept a Header a secret although it doesn't take much a imagination to know what it is.

I followed Edward Lee through the Splatterpunk days and his stories were a notch twisted more than the rest. I do encourage any gorehound and those with a taste of the macabre to go read his books\stories. You can create imagines for more dark in your head than this movie could ever portray using Lee's words alone.

If you saw Martyr's, Inside, Frontiers or even Ichi then you can forget to be disturbed by this film. Even more mainstream films like the TCM remake is far more brutal. For those wanting to grab this because of Jack Ketchum's name on it and are expecting a Girl Next Door type of quality.........forget it.

The movie isn't bad for what it is. A low budget red neck film. The acting is above average, the script is quite good and the editing and camera work are fluid and crisp. The plot moved at a good pace and there was a great build up and end to the movie.

But if you want gore and disturbing, this lost its edge real quick. Perhaps I am too jaded.......but after the 3rd header it's just not shocking (wasnt the first time either) anymore and got a little boring.

one SICK flick!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2009

After seeing a horror flick like this, I now know that this will be brought up time and time again when talking about a messed-up film. I've seen many horror flicks way more gorier than this one, but the story that this flick is about rates up there high on the SICK-O-METER!!! On some parts in this film, I felt like I was committing a crime simply because I was watching it haha. What else is next?....seriously! I can definitely see this become a cult classic. I know folks throw those two words around a lot, but I mean it! With what this story is about, the amount of gore depicted in this flick, matches evenly. Even a gorehound like me knows when to be smart on how much gore needs to be thrown around. It all depends on what the story is about. 'Header', in my opinion, is definitely a video nasty!

What's a Header?

Set in the backwoods, this tale of extreme violence follows an ATF agent on the take. Watch it and find out what a header is!
The acting is sub par, and this is a low budget movie, but is has a certain charm, I really enjoyed it.

One of THE best films that I've EVER viewed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

After reading others' reviews here on Amazon, and reading about this film on websites - including on the amazing and gifted Edward Lee's official site itself (check it out, it's brilliant, and he wrote the actual story that became this film), I finally purchased Header.

Well...I wish I'd seen it sooner! In MY opinion, it is one of THE best films that I've EVER viewed. Edward Lee himself is IN the film - but not for long unfortunately - (he plays a policeman, and very well too I might add), Grandpappy is SUPERB in the film and amused me no end, as are all of the actors/actress'. The recurring music in the film is great too. I'm from Wales in the UK, but I actually understood the redneck terminology and accents spoken by the main characters, lol. I think the redneck-speak made the film more entertaining and I developed a fondness for Grandpappy and his grandson as the film isn't all about gore; it depicts their close relationship as family and the bond of affection that they have for each other as grandfather and grandson.

I thought the ending had a fantastic twist to it (no pun intended) and wasn't what I expected at all. And then there was another twist! (I physically applauded and grinned).

The dvd disc played with no problems at all on my Playstation 2 console (the dvd is Region 1 - for America, not for the UK) and WILL play in the United Kingdom on A Playstation 2 console as I said. If it hadn't played, I would still feel privileged and happy owning one of Mr Lee's works.

Yes the film content is extremely gory and graphic but the humour in it is priceless, and we also see (in close-up lingering and graphic detail) how folks in them there parts deal with those who have pissed them off.

The film is quite emotional and moving in parts, as we see what one of the character's goes through for the love of his wife.

There are some brilliant twists and turns in the storyline. As I've already said, Edward Lee is very good playing a policeman in the film, and if you see the Special Features section on the disc, you can see him in a rather entertaining interview, where he not only answers lots of questions, but he also practises his lines from the film script (I loved that part, mainly as it was a relief to see that the man - in real-life - is down-to-earth, smiles a lot, and is surprisingly perfectly normal; despite writing extreme horror). I don't regret one bit on deciding to purchase this film. It's very good!

I'm building up my collection of his books, and man, does he have one hell of an imagination!

All in all, I enjoyed Header very much...I have watched it twice in the last two days, and I'm watching it again right now as I'm typing this. ;-)

Not A Sporting Act

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2011

This film is one sick puppy horror as we discover what a header is. Not gonna tell you because it's extremely sick and grusome.
Plot. A deep cover ATF agent starts to lose his way.
The rest of the flick isn't bad for a revenge type in backwoods Usa which is where the header comes in as a family conflict is why they use it. The cop is a bit naughty playing good guy bad guy but he's got a reason in that his wife is ill and it's expensive to get treatment. Add a few twists and this is highly entertaining horror action and not to be missed if you like low budget gore of an extreme nature.
Extras include interviews. USA Release but plays Region zero.

It's a laugh, not seen anything else like it. Only reason i didn't give it a 5 is because of a few bad actors. Everyone must give this a once over at least. Should have won an Oscar :)
