Like its companion piece ‘Flesh for Frankenstein’, it has all the elements of a cult classic, but is far too slow and talky for it to come together. Udo Kier is superbly over-the-top as the undead count, there’s an abundance of nudity and some great gory moments, and the production values are much more polished than ‘Frankenstein’ – but it doesn’t get really interesting until the last 15 minutes or so. In the end, I’d have to say the flawed ‘Frankenstein’ is the better of the two.
