Body bag 1993 Hey what's up guys. Today I'll
show you a science-fiction horror film: "Body Bag"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins in an underground morgue, where an unsightly coroner is eating his raw
meal. However, he stops eating to welcome and address the fourth wall as his visitor in the
morgue. He then approaches a corpse, and incises its side to study the cause of death. However,
he finds the corpse and the rest of the body under a white sheet have died from natural
causes, which is a boring topic to discuss. But then he discovers a body bag at the far end,
and excitedly says that anyone, who died from a nasty accident, murder, or suicide, is placed
inside a body bag. Afterward, he introduces his first horror story titled "The Gas Station."
The horror tale begins in a remote gas station in Illinois. The station's registrar, Bill,
stops watching the news when a college student, Anne, just arrives for her first
nightshift. Bill orients Anne the basics inside the booth, such as the door automatically locks,
so she needs to carry the keys always. Next, Bill advises Anne to be careful around
the station, since there's a serial killer on the loose. Anne appreciates the concern; but
she knows she can handle herself. Then before Bill leaves, he jots down his number for Anne to call,
whenever there's an emergency at the station. Bill later leaves Anne to work. During her spare
time, Anne studies for her psychology finals at school. However, she stops studying midway,
to cater to the creepy middle-aged man in front of her. He tries to bribe her with bourbon to
come out of the booth; but Anne ignores his advances, in fear he might be the serial
killer. The creepy man eventually leaves the station, allowing Anne to resume her review.
Afterward, a good-looking man named Pete, stops by the station for a quick refill. He
pays through his credit card, and Anne can't help but smile during their small conversation. Pete
leaves shortly, and Anne realizes he didn't come back for his card. Anne exits the booth
to chase after Pete in his car; but she's too late. Anne goes back inside the booth, but the
door doesn't open. She gets frustrated after realizing she has forgotten the keys inside.
A tramp unexpectedly sneaks up behind Anne to ask for the keys to the restroom. The tension
rises now that Anne is locked from the outside of the booth, unsure whether the person she talks
to is the killer. Still, she sets aside fear, and does her job to assist her customers. Anne
briskly walks towards the repair shop to look for the extra set of keys in the office. She hastily
searches for the extra keys in the drawers, where she even accidentally knocks into a photo frame
that says the employee of the month. Anne eventually finds the extra keys,
and then runs back to the booth to open the door, so she can finally give the restroom's keys to
the tramp. The tramp goes to the restroom just in time, before two drunk lovers arrive at the
station. The husband leaves the car to pay for the gas, whereas the wife stays behind to fill
the car. Anne practices caution, so she asks the husband to check the tramp inside the bathroom.
The husband eagerly obliges, while Anne leaves the booth to help the wife refill their tank. The
husband shortly returns to tell Anne that the tramp is simply asleep in one of the stalls.
The drunk lovers are about to leave, when Anne suddenly asks for the restroom's keys. but the
husband says he left them behind on the door. The drunk lovers depart shortly, leaving Anne
alone at the station again. Anne then daringly goes to the male's restroom to check the tramp;
but she finds no one inside, except an artwork on the wall portraying the devil
that is carrying headless people. Anne finally resides in the booth,
when suddenly the pick-up truck atop a lifter in the garage bay, rises by itself. Anne
immediately contacts for help, but the line is nonresponsive. Subsequently, she decides
to check it out on her own, while equipped with a wrench. She finds the tramp on the driver's seat,
dead from a bloody slit on his throat. Anne falls backward due to shock, and accidentally
spills the oil on the floor. She then stands up, and runs back to the booth to call for Bill.
The ringing stops, as Bill answers the call inside the garage's office with a bloody
machete. Fortunately, Anne quickly picks up that the registrar Bill is the serial killer,
and so she rushes into the back restroom to look for any weapon. While searching, she
finds the real Bill kept in one of the lockers. It turns out, the serial killer has murdered and
stolen Bill's identity to continue killing people undetected. Meanwhile, imposter Bill breaks into
the booth using a sledgehammer, and destroys the door to attack Anne; but Anne retaliates
by heavily throwing a chair in his face. Imposter Bill falls unconscious due to the impact,
and Anne tries to escape using the pick-up truck; but imposter Bill wakes up quickly to raise the
car lift, disabling Anne to flee. Imposter Bill tries to pull Anne out from the truck, when Pete
unexpectedly returns to the station, and restrains imposter Bill. However, he knocks down Pete pretty
fast, so he can get his hands on Anne; but he stupidly slips in oil, and falls under the raised
lift. Anne uses the circumstances to her side, as she presses imposter Bill under the lift.
Anne is relieved now that the killer has perished. Meanwhile, Pete regains the strength to stand,
and explains to Anne that he has returned to retrieve his credit card he left behind earlier.
Back at the morgue, the coroner displays a zip-lock bag of a skinned head with long threads
of hair, and explains its whole body fell off a building onto the top of a car, coincidentally
swerved in front of a train, and got towed under the engines. This gruesome death of a poor guy
introduces the second tale, titled "Hair." The story begins with A businessman named Richard,
who's self-conscious about his thinning hair due to his aging. His young girlfriend reassures
him that he's handsome no matter if he has hair or not, for looks don't matter to her,
but his hormones do. However, her compliments and reassurance are useless, because Richard
remains obsessive about maintaining his appearance, so he doesn't go bald. Subsequently,
the girlfriend sets him up an appointment with her hairdresser to give him a hairstyle.
The next day, Richard meets the hairdresser, and allows him to style his hair. However, Richard
is unsatisfied with the result, and so he buys numerous products to boost his hair growth. While
trying on the hair products, he grows impatient for the slow results; so he recklessly paints his
hair to cover the blank patches on his scalp. Just then, the girlfriend revisits him for
their date; but she becomes disappointed, because Richard can't stop thinking about his hair again.
She also gets mad because he can't love himself for who he is, so she leaves Richard alone to
think about his selfish and unreasonable desires. The following day, Richard encounters a commercial
on television promoting a nonsurgical hair rebirth. The promotion itself already enticed
Richard to try out the hair procedure because of desperation. He immediately books an appointment,
and later on visits the clinic to get the gratifying results. He meets a doctor who's
going to give him beautiful locks of hair. The process is simple: they're going to
apply a protein-based solution on the scalp, to revive dead hair follicles, and then wrap
the head to secure the solution overnight. On the next day, the desired hair awaits.
Richard accepts the procedure undoubtedly, and chooses the stallion hairstyle on the presented
options. Back at his home, he follows the prescribed method religiously to get the
right results. The following day, Richard obtains long luscious hair, and he proudly
displays it in front of the hairdresser at the salon, and then his girlfriend, who revisits him
at his place. the girlfriend can't help but feel aroused at the sight of Richard's sexy hair, and
they end up doing a smelly workout on the spot. The next day, Richard suddenly experiences a sore
throat, and tries to cure it with mouthwash. He expects it to be gone the next day;
but his health only declines more. On the bright side, his hair grows longer than ever before.
The following day, Richard goes completely sick as his hair grows strangely beneath his skin,
as if they're living creatures slowly infiltrating his body. He cancels his
date night with his girlfriend because of his sickness. Afterward, he goes to the bathroom to
check the cause of his sore throat. He finds a strange strand of hair stuck inside his throat,
so he tries to cut it. but the chopped hair strand oddly screams. He uses a magnifying
glass to look at the hair strand, and sees it looks like a living hair resembling a worm.
Richard decides to go back to the clinic, to complain about the solution applied on his hair,
because hairs are growing out not just from his scalp, but out of his face too. The doctor then
cuts open Richard's arm, to reveal living hairs that are sprouting out of his skin.
The doctor then discloses that he and his staff are worm-like aliens, who traveled
to Earth in search of food. They only eat human brains, and so they take advantage of the human
obsession with vanity, where they infiltrate the human head under the guise of hair products,
and later on consume their fatty brains. After the doctor reveals the truth,
the nurse places Richard on a chair, who's now brain-dead, as the aliens in his head joyfully
consume his brain. Back at the morgue,
the coroner displays an eyeball to represent and introduce the last tale, titled "Eye."
The story begins with a baseball player, Brent. The game just finished,
and he's about to reunite with his wife, Cathy, at home. However, he runs into a car accident,
and is immediately rushed to a hospital. The next day, Brent wakes up, and learns
that he has lost his right eye due to the incident. Losing his eye means his career
is over, because it's his asset for gameplay. He's about to give up, when a surgeon miraculously
shows up to offer an eye replacement surgical trial. It's never been done before, but it's a
chance for Brent to regain his on-the-edge career. The operation includes an eyeball retrieved from
a recently dead person, that coincidentally fits Brent's eye socket. If ever the procedure fails,
they can remove the eye quickly; but it also means they're back to square one.
Cathy and Brent take the chance, after deliberating whether to accept it or not.
It's a trial-and-error process that's not bad to try. Soon, Brent undergoes surgery;
and after hours of operation, Brent successfully acquires a new brown eye.
Meanwhile, Cathy seems to find his new eye weird because it's a different color; but she promises
to learn to get used to them eventually. Soon, the lovers return home; and Cathy
surprises Brent with a present. Brent learns that Cathy is pregnant; but he's unexcited about it,
because he worries about his future. Just then, he sees a dead blonde woman erect from the lawn
in front of their house; but it disappears right before he feels a jolt of headache.
As days pass by, Brent encounters more glimpses from the past, as vivid memories flash before him
through hallucinations. He sees a mutilated hand grinding in a sink, an alcoholic woman taunting
him as he fixes the crib, a dead woman replacing the image of his wife amid their copulation,
and more dead women with striking yellow hairs. Brent hunches that something sinister and wrong is
going on in his body and mind. He no longer can't take it, so he visits the surgeon to confront him
about where he obtained his replacement eye. The surgeon answers that the eyeball came
from John Randle, who died in a gas chamber. Brent reckons something's bad when it involves
deaths in gas chambers, and so he travels to a local library to research the name online.
According to a published article, John Randle was a necrophiliac serial killer, who suffered
domestic abuse and neglect from his own alcoholic mother during his childhood. Due to abandonment,
Randle grew up particularly obsessed with blonde women, to the point where he killed
them and mated with them afterward. He later died after being convicted of the second-degree murder
of multiple women inside a gas chamber. Brent now knows the truth behind the eye
he carries, and he's certain that Randle possesses his body to continue his work.
He then goes home, and digs up a grave in their yard, for he plans to kill Cathy.
Cathy arrives home, and asks Brent how his talk with the surgeon went. Brent lies that he's
no longer in pain, and then his personality abruptly changes as Randle takes over him.
Possessed Brent carries shears, and threatens to kill Cathy to resume his work as a serial killer.
He ties her hair on the table, and is about to stab her, until Cathy retaliates by reading a
Bible verse to bring Brent back to his body. Brent shortly returns to his body; but Randle
can return any second. The only way to end this atrocity is to remove the link,
which is the eye. Subsequently, he points the shears at his right eye, and stabs himself to
cut the connection with Randle. Brent collapses on the floor, as blood oozes out of his impaled eye.
The movie ends with the coroner concluding his three horror tales. Suddenly, footsteps emerge
from the stairs, and the coroner quickly enters a body bag to hide. Just then,
two morticians descend the stairs, and then they open the body bag where the coroner hides. They
cut him open to imply that the coroner is a corpse as well. The two morticians work together while
they examine his body, whom they refer to as "John Doe", in accordance with his death certificate.
