Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the film is often referred to as "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein," he wasn't directly involved in the production, but allowed the director to use his name. Warhol would make rare visits to the sets and during the editing period.
- GoofsFrankenstein created his zombies out of selected pieces of various people, and wanted to breed them to get offspring. However, regardless of the body parts he selected for each zombie, the offspring would only be a product of the reproductive organs, so choosing good brains/legs/arms etc would have made no difference at all.
- Quotes
Baron Frankenstein: To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life... in the gall bladder!
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was cut by around 8 minutes on its initial release in 1973. Despite a lesser cut (2 minutes 8 secs) version being shown at London's Scala cinema 10 years later, the video certificate was withheld after the film became one of the infamous "DPP 72" list of video nasties. It eventually secured a UK video release in 1996 - minus 56 seconds of cuts to shots of the Baron smearing blood across the breasts of a female corpse and sexually caressing the body - and was finally granted a full uncut certificate in March 2006.

Featured review
This movie is not the worst ever. It has some "weird" feeling to it that could make it likeable to some. But I have seen MANY films in 3-D and I must say this is, by either pure chance or otherwise awesome talent, one of the few films with truly accomplished 3-D effects and shots which make the 3-D process shine.
Do not, I repeat, do not miss this film if you happen to catch a 3-D showing of it. Just don't miss it. You'll see 3-D like only 1 or 2 more films will ever show you.
But if you don't see it in 3-D, such as on video, then this film may not be for you. Acting is weird, plot is weird, dubbing is weird, music is weird, entertaining values are low and nudity is scarce.
As a film, I give it 3 out of 10. As a 3-D film, I give it 9 1/2 out of 10.
No wonder 3-D died. If this and perhaps 1 or 2 more films was as close to perfection as the 3-D process ever got.
