Best movie ever!

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

A masked wrestler and his girlfriend find themselves abducted by a mad scientist to replenish her diminishing youth serum made from his blood and have to battle through her assortment of monsters and henchmen to escape.One of the better examples of this kind of film, filled with all sorts of good stuff from the delightfully campy and enjoyable mad scientist's lab found in those old-school classics, a creepy underground lair that, while outfitted with cobweb-riddled corpses in coffins and flying bats shrieking in the darkness looks to be as cramped and detailed as a backyard home movie, and all sorts of brawls and fights from the lead, despite the fact that they're all pretty repetitive and pretty much consist of fist-chops or punches and hip-throws all over the room into the furniture. I can't say the plot makes a lot of sense (I'm only guessing on that end, it was in Spanish yet from the looks of it all, I think I'm right in that regard) but the action here more than makes up for it, turning this into one of Santo's better entries.Rated Unrated/PG-13: Violence and mild Language.

Before you get your hopes up, let me state for the record that Santo does NOT grapple Frankenstein's daughter... Although he's slightly out of character in this one (he may have been bored, or simply uninterested in the goings-on), he does manage from time to time to get into a scrap. Said scraps are the saving grace(s) of this one. Like many of the color films in the Santo series (at least, the ones that I've seen), SANTO VS. FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER is unimpressive in the extreme (but I can't bring myself to give it less than a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10). The cinematography, in particular, is underwhelming- odd, when one considers the visual potential of these kind of movies. I've always thought that Spider-man, whose mask looks suspiciously like the mask worn by El Santo (especially the eye-holes, which are identical), may have been inspired, to some degree, by The Silvermask Man (and THE WASP WOMAN). Spidey has gotten his just due. Too bad Santo never did.

Santo vs. Frankenstein's Daughter (1971) * (out of 4) Freda Frankenstein is well over 100 years old and she's starting to feel unhappy about being old. Thankfully the mean monster is on hand to help her try and get some of Santo's blood so that she can be young again. I must admit that I'm not a fan of these Santo movies and I've yet to really understand their charm. I love seeing monsters as much as anyone else but I still don't understand the entertainment value some see in these films. I certainly wish I liked them more but I just can't. I think my pain problem is with Santo who I just can't see as a hero and I'm also not entertained by the wrestling scenes. Some of the monster moments are cute in a "C" movie way but these sequences are far between.

This one has Santo WITHOUT the Blue Demon. My children feel that the Blue Demon adds an important facet to the movies. I, on the other hand, am skeptical of his worth.The movie begins logically enough. Frankenstein's daughter wants the blood of Mexican pro-wrestler Santo. It seems that the masked hero can repair damaged cells at an accelerated rate. Because they don't have a chance of taking him through force, they kidnap his girlf. The rest of the movie is spent either in the sheriff's office or Frankenstein's lair.It is not as campy as the other Santo films that I've seen; moreover, there are some accelerated aging sequences that might disturb younger viewers. It wasn't bad, though.Maybe I just have a weakness for mad scientists in short skirts and go-go boots...
