Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is better then the original Frankenstein. Most you probably never saw the original Frankenstein. It a silent movie from 1910 that is twelve minutes long. The 1931 version of Frankenstein is better. It has better actors. It also has a better story line. It is scarier. But still this a good movie. Something that as the same story line as the book Frankenstein and has some nudity does not make it porn. It is not porn. This is an i.t.a.l.i.a.n movie. And you are forgetting i.t.a.l.i.a.n.s are very lead back about nudity a lot more then some countries are. This movie is pretty scary. The acting is pretty good. And the story line is great. If you like really scary movies then you should see this movie.

arfdawg-1 Brazzi plays mad Dr. Frankenstei. Dunn is an evil dwarf and Lugosi (no relation to Bela) is a Neanderthal man. Add a monster named Hulk.And some nude women for sexploitation value.What you get is a horrible spaghetti horror film that will bore the pants off you.The direction is really bad. Blurry slow mo that will make you blind.The monsters are laughable.There is no story.You should actively plan on staying away from this one at all costs.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Frankenstien's Castle of Freaks (Ill Castello Della Paura), 1974. Count or Baron Frankenstein has a daughter that is getting married. She travels with her personal young attractive lady assistant. The kids come home to the castle to visit with dear old dad even while he is still desecrating graves and experimenting with body part transplants. With this combination of Gothic characters, a shallow plot develops.*Special Stars- Michael Dunn, Rossano Brazzi. *Theme- Death is part of life.*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Italian. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark did a 'smash-up' of this film on her Movie Macabre. Didn't the villagers bash the giant in the head several times to kill him and then a new brain was introduced. Michael Dunn's dialog is dubbed and wears a disguise-like mustache.*Emotion- I was very surprised to see such huge successful film and TV stars like Rossano Brazzi(South Pacific) and Michael Dunn(Wild Wild Wild West's- Dr. Loveless) appearing in this B-Movie. There is a small amount of female nude milk & hot spring bathing and young lover's sex to spice-up the sagging and pedestrian plot. It is a shame the stars in this film were wasted and sleep walked through their roles, especially Brazzi. Dunn's sympathetic dwarf role while textbook, did show some creativity and pathos to make his scenes very watchable. The film was balanced into the positive aspects with the gimmicks of nudity, sex, and star power in the film's cast.

BaronBl00d This is a major, I mean MAJOR guilty pleasure for me. The film is sick, twisted, depraved, and barely a horror film at all! Yet, I liked it...and, yes, I feel somewhat ashamed. But how can you go wrong with a voyeuristic, demonicly repulsive dwarf who fondles the breast of a dead girl or teaches a hulking caveman to have his first sexual liaison with a girl they kidnap for that sole purpose(BTW - he "kills" her with his girth!). Or that same caveman hulking about with his unibrow and eating raw flesh and coming basically from nowhere? how about the hunchbacked assistant Kreegin who is having an affair with Hans the butler's wife. She likes it VERY rough - pain kinda-stuff. Then there is Hans who is a sadist. Let's not forget Goliath the other hulking man who now has a new brain. This array of characters is quite ridiculous. It is cinematic nonsense, but this film is Euro-trash at its sleaziest best. Dick Randall(under the name Robert Oliver) directs the film - really is is his one big directorial job, but he produced many similar projects and wrote the screenplays for movies like Pieces, Lady Frankenstein, and The Mad Butcher(this film has the same feel of that one the most). He is going for sleaze, and boy does he find it. The monsters are really secondary to the sexual themes, scenes, fetishes, etc that abound. And then we have Rossani Brazzi as Count Frankenstein...not Baron but count. Really? There are also the two lovely, and I mean absolutely drop-dead lovely female leads who show us much of their acting "attributes" quite freely particularly when bathing in a warm mud pit of some kind. One is the Count's daughter - beautiful blonde Simonetta Vitelli. Hot! Then there is her friend Kris who falls in love with the Count and has both cavemen - Ook and Goliath - on her like white on rice. She is even hotter and played by Christiane Rucker. Where are the horror elements? They really are not there. Brazzi is OK, the girls really don't need to act, and the rest seem like they are happy to be acting in anything though some are fairly well-known like Luciano Pigozzi(the Peter Lorre of Italy) playing Hans or Italian sword and sandal strongman Gordon Mitchell playing Igor or cult favorite Xiro Papas as the revolting Kreegin or classy Edmund Prudhom as the prefect. Then there is Michael Dunn in all his sick glory as the conniving dwarf. Dunn can play this type so well. The sets are fairly impressive for a film like this, but the dubbing is excruciatingly bad. Again, this is not for everyone. It really isn't a horror picture but more of an exploitation picture that only could have been made in the 70s. Once again I reiterate this is my favorite decade for films. People could make what they wanted the way they wanted. I saw this as part of Elvira's Movie Macabre collection. She helps it as well with her bounteous "presence" or presents depending on how you look at it. She also has some great lines to go with what is going on in the movie.
