Movie Reviews of Lust for Frankenstein

Movie Review: Don't let naysayers put you off. It's Franco-town, people!
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm not going to be simplistic and say that people who hate Franco films just don't "get it." There's nothing to get here. In LUST FOR FRANKENSTEIN Franco has created a surreal world in which a beautiful Frankenstein monster (Michelle Bauer, the monster on the sleeve and in the movie) wrecks havoc on the life of Frankenstein's plain-Jane daughter (Lina Romay). A bunch of beautiful victims litter the trail of the monster's murderous path from opening scene to the finale. Super sexy Amber Newman is a beautiful stripper who gets stripped of more than just her costume, Frankenstein's daughter surgically transfers her life juices into the monster. (Amber's on the cover and in the movie too, by the way.) It's not High Art time, folks, it's just plain FRANCO.

If you like watching European horror films that are throwbacks to the nasty days of the '70s and early '80s, then LUST FOR FRANKENSTEIN is for you. The girls are plenty and there's a blonde, a brunette, a redhead, etc. There's skinny ones, fat ones, bodacious ones, etc. It's all here. And where else can you find a stark naked Frankenstein monster who looks like Michelle Bauer? It's exploitation to the hilt. Open-minded fun seekers rush to place your orders! All others should just look somewhere else much safer to spend your dollars.

Don't let the simplistic critics scare you. I'm not saying this is a great film but it is certainly enjoyable if you are in the right frame of mind. (And where else can you see a female monster make love to a tree?)

Try it, you'll like it.
