Flesh For Frankenstein
1973, 95 minutes, Rated R
There has been no Frankenstein movie quite like Paul Morrissey's 1970s cult classic Flesh for Frankenstein.
"In most filmed versions of the Frankenstein legend, Baron Frankenstein is merely a mad scientist whose reanimation project leads to monstrous results.
Morrissey's black comedy takes a much more lurid approach to the story. In Flesh for Frankenstein, the baron is a degenerate married to his sister. Holding his own silent, voyeuristic offspring in comtempt, Frankenstein's reanimation experiments are aimed at producing a "perfect" beautiful pair of zombies who will in turn produce children. Frankenstein envisions an entire race of his own creation.
Into this scenario wawnders the stable boy, Nicholas and his friend, a would-be monk. The baron, waiting outside a brothel, mistakes the beautiful but asexual friend for the perfect "Serbian" specimen of his dreams. In the meantime, the baroness invites Nicholas into the castle to become her lover and servant. Complications ensue when Nicholas recognises his friend in Frankenstein's zombie. Through it all, the baron's children watch in the background, absorbing all." - Reel.com
