Trying to locate this strange little movie!!!?!
Question: All I know about it, is that it's about this escaped convict, who is saved from drowning by this ex-slave; in the course of the film, the convict's savior, who nourishes the convict back to health, reveals that he is actually hundreds of years old, and can never die, due to a magic voodoo potion he makes. The convict tries in vain to search for the potion, and eventually makes plans to threaten the life of the ex-slave, to get it. The ex-slave becomes savvy to the convict's plan, subdues him, ties him up, and before chopping off his arms and legs, and setting him on fire, he tells the convict that he's been given the potion all this time...
...the convict wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to toe, writhing in severe pain, due to the terrible burns and the severed limbs (...he's just a torso, with a head); the doctors treating him, can't figure out why the convict isn't dead...
...anyways, I've looked forever for this film; can anyone help???

...you pretty much gave a capsule description of one of the horrific and sorrid tales, from the 1987 horror anthology, entitled "From a Whisper to a Scream", which was released theatrically as "The Offspring"; the other tales, involving a grotesque and monstrous birth, a horrific and accursed civil war twist on 'Lord of the Flies', and a bloody lesson taught to a lovetorn circus freak, are all equally horrific, and outrageously bizarre...
