Either you will find this enjoyable or feel revulsion at its sordidness. Here is a version of “Frankenstein” that elaborates on the general tale and ends up pouring on excessive violence and twisted themes.
Dr. Frankenstein is practicing his favorite past time, namely, sewing together bits and pieces of dead bodies and reanimating the resultant corpse. Into this unnatural environment is the arrival of Frankenstein’s daughter, returned from university. She has an admiration for her father’s studies and wants to prolong his legacy by doing a bit of body stitching herself. Never mind that she is a bit afflicted with her own mental issues and a raging libido. After her father is destroyed by his own patchwork being, his daughter uses what she learned from dear old dad to affix her handicapped husband’s superior brain in the strong, flawless body of a half-witted servant who hangs around the castle and to whom she is madly attracted.
In the meantime, Frankenstein’s monster runs amok around the countryside, dispatching and murdering townsfolk. Anxious to build her own Perfect Man, Lady Frankenstein doesn’t give the rampaging monster much thought but first wants to fulfill her own creative, corpse building ambitions and take time to praise the great work of her father. Oh yeah. And jump in and out of the sack. lol.
This picture clearly borrows from Hammer Films and their reliance on gore and sexy women and the Italian Horror cycle which proliferated in the 1970’s. Roger Corman pitched in some money to make sure this travesty got completed and his New World Pictures distributed the film in America. Noted actor Joseph Cotton shilled for a paycheck in this bungle.
