Completely coincidental, but this one's also about experimental organ transplant surgery. I hadn't seen it in a little over twenty years, chiefly because it was so unrelentingly awful when I saw it at the cinema. There's little to recommend it other than some serviceable effects work, plus a surprisingly menacing performance by David Thewlis as the evil king Einon. Mr. B. commented that this was shit 80s fantasy that just happened to have been made in the 90s, and with the muddy colour palette, generic Scottish setting and near-universally halfarsed acting, I feel this is a fair summation.
