Oh, how I love this trashy, sick film. It's exquisitely beautiful and well-made on an artistic level while reveling in sleaze and intentional hilarity. Anyone who criticizes this film for being a "bad movie", as I did the first time I saw it, is missing the point. It's an easy mistake to make. I like it a lot better than Blood for Dracula, which feels rather cheap and rushed in comparison, but both are essential.

This is like the re-telling of Rebel Without a Cause in the tradition of Frankenstein with a Douglas Sirk tempo and mood. It's a melodramatic horror film with exaggerated performances, endless visual innuendos throughout. Would I recommend this to anyone? No. But for entertainment purposes, it made for a good afternoon.

I prefer Morrissey's other work (Heat/Trash/Flesh), but these two films (+ Dracula) are exquisite masterpieces. He and Warhol were at the top of their potential when they made these two, or at least it seems that way to me. Gore doesn't bother anyone really, does it? It's only a movie...

This one has all the elements of a camp classic: Udo Kier's scenery-chewing performance as Dr. Frankenstein, terrible dialogue, voyeuristic children, abundant kinky sex, and plenty of gory beheadings, dismemberings, and disembowelings. Unfortunately, it's also very slow-paced and talky - never developing the manic atmosphere it needs to be a cult masterpiece.

Bad movie but contains an immortal send-up of Brando's silly lines in "Last Tango..". "To understand life you must fuck life in the kidney" Ridiculous and hilarious. I do wish I could still see it in 3D.
