Movie Reviews of Flesh for Frankenstein
Movie Review: disdisgutingly gory
Summary: 4 Stars
to To be totally honest, I only saw this movie once. It was in 1974 when I was 12 years old. Yes, we snuck into the theatre. I remember the warnings at the time. " completely concerned with disgusting gory violence" Those warnings were very true. This movie is not for those with queasy stomachs for there are a number of scenes which could make the average person puke. That is providing they are not edited out for this upcoming release. One being where Baron Frankenstein says, " to know life, one must F... the gallbladder" which he does after cutting open the female Frankenstein monster. The lopping off of a head with curved shears was a good one too. The fact that this movie was originally in 3D made for some good close ups of intestines and livers as well. Too bad the dvd will not be in 3d. As with most classic horrors, the acting is not deserving of any awards, but I believe that any collector of horror/gore flicks should cosider this movie.Movie Review: Frankly Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this in 3D "back in the day", 1973. It's such a hoot! Watch the version narrated by the director and learn about making films.

Movie Review: Like Frankenstein?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an entertaining flick that help kills a few hours. A bit of nudity & incestual relationships. Screwball characters galore.Movie Review: Lots of alcohol would probably help...

Flesh for Frankenstein is also known as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein though I can't see that he had anything to do with it.
It was awful, my friends. Awful. It was somewhat enjoyable for its camp value, but it's still too long for that. I watched the first two thirds then gave up on it.
The fun parts were the shocking for the time use of nudity and primitive gore. Also, Udo Kier as Baron Frankenstein shouts all his lines. His sidekick Otto spends the entire movie popping out his eyes looking surprised. The Baron's sister/wife (they didn't seem to be clear which she was) reminded me heavily of Shelly Long and the kids were clones of Wednesday and Pugsly Addams. My favorite part was that the entire cast spoke with a stew of European accents, then along comes Andy Warhol's boy-toy Joe Dallesandro sounding like he just climbed out of a New York cab.
If you have a group of drunken friends or see the movie listed as a midnight show at a theater, it could be fun. But to actually sit and watch it as a film, I just couldn't.
Movie Review: The ball has been dropped...again
Summary: 1 Stars
It was an insult the first time around when Criterion didn't release this title in an optional 3D format. I was hopeful when the announcement came for a reissue; But guess what? Nothing changed to remedy the situation. They could've had me buying a second copy if they cared enough. The 3D glasses included with Freddy's Dead on DVD made for a wonderful experience. I've never had eye strain problems with 3D, and I suspect those who whine about it are simply more fussy, with little real desire to enjoy the enhancement. I wouldn't care so much, but this title was conceived and shot to be seen in 3D. To present it out of its intended context is not only an insult to the director and technical crew, but to the audience as well. I guess this means I'm off to find a bootleg 3D version elsewhere...
