To begin honestly, FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN isn't for all tastes. However, the film and brother, BLOOD FOR Dracula, are great treats to genuine horror movie buffs. Surprisingly, for some reason the latter, as offensive as the former was not listed as a 'Video Nasty'. These two films were made back to back (a la Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions) and by the same cast and crew and exploited Andy Warhol's name for distribution.
If you have a fondness for cheesy, funny and gory decadence, then you'll love this film. Plus Udo Kier is and Arno Juerging are great in their roles. The fabulous line To know Death Otto, you first have to f**k life in the gall bladder was a bloomer influenced by Last Tango in Paris, but was so funny, director (Paul Morrisey) left it in.
As a passing note, I remember seeing both Ace Ventura and Blade in the cinema for the first time and loudly saying 'It's UDO!' when he appeared.

Well, what can I say? It saddens me that John Carpenter hasn't made a film since Ghosts of Mars, and with word of his retirement looming it emphasises the displeasure. This film seems like the anthology of Carpenter's craft, from the satirical science fiction of Dark Star (1974), the claustrophobia of Assault on Precinct 13, the alien possessions of The Thing (1982) and the machismo of Escape From New York (1982) and Vampires (1998).
A police squad is sent to Mars to return a criminal to trial only to find the area of the prison camp deserted. It transpires that Mars is dominated by homicidal demons. The squad defend themselves, including teaming with the surviving inmates, then must destroy the monsters and escape before the plague spreads to other planets
Unfortunately, it doesn't quite stick together on initial viewing but I believe, as with all Carpenter's films, it'll be a movie ahead of its time'. It's fun, it's different, it has another throbbing Carpenter score and has some subtext. The concept that human fear of invasion from Mars has created a negative destructive force on the planet is ingenious.
