646f9e108c Enlisted in President Abraham Lincoln&#39;s secret service, the amazing agent Screw-On Head is the bravest and most dedicated operative, even though at first glance, he is nothing more than a disembodied mechanical head. However, with the exotic ability to screw itself onto a wide variety of robotic bodies, the Head is eager to accept missions his human colleagues don&#39;t even dare to pursue. Along with his faithful valet, Mr Groin, Screw-On Head goes on a mission to save America against the ghastly Emperor Zombie and his evil plan to unleash an ancient Demigod on earth. Can the mechanical super-spy foil the megalomaniac&#39;s schemes? A Civil War-era secret agent with an extraordinary special power serves under president Abraham Lincoln. If you missed Amazing Screw-On Head from Sci-Fi channel, then rent, buy or download it now! This short animated film is brilliant, hilarious, and perfectly employs the visual textures and grimy, baroque aesthetic of Mike Mignola&#39;s world. It uses elements of Lovecraft, Universal Monsters, steampunk mecha, and Wild Wild West to plunge the viewer into a completely absorbing adventure.<br/><br/>Amazing Screw-On Head is stylistically superior to both the 2004 live-action Hellboy and the 2006 Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms. This production has more in common with Mignola&#39;s concept work on Bram Stoker&#39;s Dracula, Blade II, and Disney&#39;s Atlantis. His monsters are both horrific and lovable, his hero is upright (when attached to his body), and his villains are truly sinister.<br/><br/>Attn Cartoon Network and Sci-Fi: Screw-On Head should be a template for future Hellboy and BPRD animated specials. I&#39;m not going to beat around the bush: The pilot of &quot;The Amazing Screw-On Head&quot; blew me away.<br/><br/>Here are the reasons why I am so impressed by this show: <br/><br/>1. The Style<br/><br/>The look of the animation closely mimics the style of comic book illustrator Mike Mignola, giving it a unique appearance.<br/><br/>2. The Villains and Creatures <br/><br/>Okay, the pilot episode has 3 undead zombie-type creatures, a werewolf, a vampire chick, a demi-god, and a monkey with a machine gun. All this in about 23 minutes! How could I not like this show?<br/><br/>3. Off-beat Humor <br/><br/>This show is nuts! Just watch the hookah scene and you&#39;ll know you&#39;re not in the realm of typical animation. Some may be put off by the insanity, but I (personally) was amused.<br/><br/>4. Intelligence <br/><br/>There is some witty dialogue here that older viewers can appreciate.<br/><br/>Also, for me (especially considering the time constraints of a half hour program), the plot worked fairly well.<br/><br/>5. Voice Acting <br/><br/>Very good performances all around.<br/><br/>In short, the pilot for &quot;The Amazing Screw-On Head&quot; is one of the best examples of televised animation that I have ever seen. I highly recommend it.
