Baron Frankenstein (Udo Kier) dreams of restoring Serbia to glory, so he builds male and female monsters whose children will become the new master race. Determined that they be fruitful, he aims to equip the male body with the brain of someone possessing a powerful libido. Thinking local stable boy Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro) will be perfect, he mistakenly gets the head of Nicholas' pious friend (Srdjan Zelenovic) instead. Meanwhile, Nicholas seduces the baron's wife (Monique van Vooren).

This "Frankenstein" drags as much as it camps; "despite a few amusing moments, it fails as a spoof, and the result is only a coy binge in degradation.

B+

The main purpose of this sick, hilarious cult classic (originally shown in 3-D) seems to have been to out-sex and out-gore the Hammer Frankenstein films.

3.5/5

This delightfully melodramatic 3D film is a lurid camp classic. Complete with scathing class critique, gorgeous long takes, and hot Udo Kier, it's something of a "see it to believe it" film that could never be made now.

Contains as much wit as gore, which, let me tell you, is a considerable amount.

This one of those movies that the critics tell us we should like, but in reality most of us came out saying meh. The above numbers don't lie.
