REVIEW
Our old mate Udo Kier (from Expose fame) crops up in here as Baron Frankenstein. The original VHS tape is available on both the Vipco, and more rarely, the Video Gems label.
We follow the “classic story” as Frankenstein and his mate Otto are busy stitching up people’s body parts in order to create the perfect male and female to start a new race. As they decide they want the head of a man with a powerful sex drive, we see them go into the village, and find a bloke called Nicholas and his mate. Nicholas is knocked out, and his mate is decapitated.
Later on, Nicholas goes to the castle, is employed by Katrin, the Baron’s missus, and it isn’t long before Nicholas slips her his length. Meanwhile, the Baron is busy making zombies in the lab, whilst after masturbating on top of the female zombie, he takes the male and female zombie to lunch, where Nicholas recognizes his mate’s missing head. Cue lots of manic scenes, as Otto kills one of the maids, Nicholas is chained up in the lab, and Katrin is killed by the male zombie.
As the film closes, Otto kills the female zombie and
Udo strangles him, before he is speared with a lance by the male zombie. Overall,
not bad. Quite a humorous take on the classic story.
