It's very hard to recommend this film, but it is also hard to dismiss it as Criterion saw fit to issue it in their collection.
Udo Kier (Halloween 2007, Grindhouse, All the Queen's Men, and all of Lars von Trier's movies) is the strangest Baron Frankenstin I have ever seen. He gets a certain glee out of playing with internal organs. He is into incest and necrophilia, and has plans to create a Master race obedient to him - sound familiar. Of course, his plans go awry when he selects the wrong head for his Frankenstein.
His sister/wife (Monique Van Vooren) is more concerned with the stable-boy (Joe Dallesandro).
Funny and strange, Paul Morrissey has written and directed a decidedly different version of Mary Shell's story.
