Udo Kier is a riot! Joe Dallesandro doesn't even try and hide his New York accent! Very funny movie... Was this review helpful? Yes

Perhaps one of the funniest bad films ever. Paul Morrisey manages to make the Frankenstein legend an erotic and moralistic venture. Beautifully filmed and handsomely cast, the film is terribly acted, but who cares when you have such beautiful faces and bodies as Udo Keir, Monique von Vooren and the exquisite-looking Joe Dallesandro. Listen to the audio track wherein Keir and Morrisey explain their motives and choices. It's amusing and makes great sense. Was this review helpful? Yes

The production value is far better than other Warhol films. The joke in this comedy is that while Dr. Frankenstein and assistant are collecting body parts ("flesh") for their next male monster (intended to be husband to already-made woman-bride-monster), they murder and take the head of a young man who (unbeknownst to them) is not interested in women at all. The results are disastrous, of course. Over the course, the film explores all manner of sexuality and gore. The old world European styling is done up with tasteful attention to detail. A young Udo Kier is surprisingly invested in his character as he always has been. Dellasandro is once again a talking head with New York accent and cute ass. What saves this film from being garbage is that it is actually well made, production wise. You may laugh or puke or both. The cinematography is clean and colorful. Also rare for a Warhol/Morrissey collaboration, this film is fairly well edited. Was this review helpful? Yes

If you're looking for a classy traditional Frankenstein film then look elsewhere if you looking for a campy, gory, funny flick then look no further. I rely liked this movie it gave me what I was asking for gore and gags. And might I also add an AWSOME DECAPITAION!!! How do you not enjoy this film it's like Young Frankenstein meets Re-Animator. Aside from the gore and gags it full of other great stuff. I thought Udo Kier was great and I don't know what the hell was up with him marring his sister. But I found it interesting how Morrissey used the 20 ft long dinner table to represent how distant the Dr. is with his wife in there relation ship and I also found it funny that the Dr. is disgusted by women but gets aroused by playing with there guts and wile his wife screwing the servant the Dr. is screwing a corps. This may all sound gorse but its one of those movie that balances gore with gags and if that's what you're looking for I highly recommend this. Was this review helpful? Yes

I admit I have seen some BAD movies in the past - especially in the horror genre. But this in definitely one of the worst. It was nothing more than an excuse for incest and nudity. Sadly the story concept was there but the acting was pathetic at best. Even for the age of the movie, I have seen significantly better. If you want a laugh (and no, the movie was not meant to be a comedy) and to waste a rainy afternoon, then give this a whirl - but only after exhausting every other possible option including eating cold brussel sprouts.

Not only is this a waste of time. It's ambarassing to admit that I actually fell for this one. Trashy, tacky, junk, awful, etc.... call what you will, it doesn't come close to describing how bad this one is. Was this review helpful? Yes

I have seen "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia", which deservedly appears on most lists of the worst 10 movies of all time. This movie is so much worse, it defies description. On one of the Special Features, Morrisey talks about how this movie is in the mold of the great European movies of the 70's. Poor Federico Fellini must be rolling in his grave at that comparison.

Schlock is a perfect word for it. This is definitely not an art piece. Trashy, and stupid, but entertaining. Was this review helpful? Yes

See Joey D. shaking his leaping lizard in full view. Hear Monique Von Voren's anachronistic linguistics, "No you cun go up there, no way!" Watch Udo Kier massage "digestive parts." Massaging digestive parts is the order of the day! This movie is first rate and make sure that you check out the commentary. Was this review helpful? Yes
