A mad
scientist named Baron Frankenstein (Udo
Kier) wants to create a new race of
humans out of body parts by making both a
male and female so they can mate with one
another.
Meanwhile,
one of his workers there who is a
stableboy named Nicholas (Joe
Dallesandro) is trying to talk his best
friend Sacha (Srdjan Zelenovic) out of
being a monk by inviting him to having
group sex with some women there. Yet, he
is not interested.
Baron spot Sacha and thinks he's the
perfect one for his creation and beheads
him not realising that he wanted to
become a Monk.
Nicholas has a steamy affair with the
Frankenstein's sister Katrin (Monique van
Vooren) not realising the madness that
goes on there.
Frankenstein thinks he has completed his
creations but however, his creation fails
when Sacha doesn't give in to the female
monster (Dalila DiLazzaro).
This drives him mad and will stop at
nothing until he gets his perfect
creation even when he tries to test Sacha
out on his sister.
Andy Borehal is
more like it yet the story is very artsy
and unique at the same time with lots of
twisted behaviors in the plotline like
most of Warhol's films and full
of lust too.
It was made on bigger production values
with better composing and more of a
familiar cast than Warhol's
previous films as you can tell he wanted
his production to grow. Shot in Italy.
Some of the acting
is pretty good as Udo Kier stole
the film with his performance and played
the perfect mad scientist as Frankenstein
with his anger and insanity.
Monique van Vooren also does
well as his strict as nails sister and
was wonderful at being stern too.
However Warhol superstar Joe
Dallesandro still acts like he's
intoxicated like in his previous Warhol
films playing a sleazy employee at the
mansion. Yet like in his other work in Warhol's
film he still stands out well and
played kind of a good hero.
Srdjan Zelenovic was a wee bit rough
as well playing his best friend who
becomes a creation to Frankenstein since
his energy was slightly low.
We have the famous butt
shot on Little Joe fornicating
in bed with many naked women exposing
their breasts and the odd butt shot.
We see open breasts on one of Baron
Frankenstein's creation which is
performed by Dalila Di Lazzaro
as we mainly see her naked as well as a
close up shot on her vagina
There's a brief breast and vagina shot on
lead actress Monique van
Vooren lying in bed fornicating and
later on she pulls one side of her
lingerae off showing a breast shot
Srdjan Zelenovic's front is briefly
shown as the female monster tries to
seduce him.
A head is chopped off
looking very bloody and graphic
Stitches are cut off of the female
monster with blood dripping off and then
is torn open with insides being pulled
out
There is a chopped off hand
A maid's insides are torn out
The Baron's hand is chopped off from a
metal gate with blood gushing out and
later his liver is stabbed out
Sacha tears his insides out
I can see why this film was given an X
Paul Morrissey
& Antonio Margheriti both
worked on this film as they make it
sleazy but artsy too. At times it's slow
but they pick up in many spots.
They show a good shot with lead actress Monique
van Vooren with her kids played by Arno
Juerging and Nicoletta Elmi doinf
outings together.
They directed van Vooren very
well with her strict behavior towards Joe
Dalledandro's character.
They also made Udo Kier and Arno
Juerging play off well at the
laboratory trying to invent a creation
using dead bodies and making Kier's madness
seem very believeable.
There's perfect timing with van
Vooren lecturing Dallesandro leading
to nice lustful moments between the two
of them.
Then Kier is wonderful with his drive on
both actors Dalila Di Lazzaro
and Srdjan Zelenovic bringing
them to life and making them move and
shows perfect reactions later on when he
instructs Zelenovic to kiss Di
Lazzaro's chracter and he does
nothing. The madness out of Kier
is a classic.
They coached Dallesdandro well
as he strikes van Vooren in the
face making it look aggressive and
intense.
Dallesandro performs well with his
battle against Zelenovic and
Kier although his dialogue with them
lacks.
Claudio
Gizzi performs some wonderful
classical piano playing during some of
the lustful moments as well as some
effective violin playing too. He also has
some neat music for when Frankenstein's
creations come to life too.
Baron
Frankenstein: To know death Otto, you
have to fuck life in the gallbladder.
Baron
Frankenstein: The medical profession
would love to claim my achievement as
part of their own and call it a giant
stride forward of medicine. But they
can't. It is a giant stride forward for
me!
Baron
Frankenstein: We failed! That
beautiful Serbian female! Everybody would
have jumped--everyone! But maybe that
head of that...creature wasn't any good!
His perfect nose! His perfect nose! He
has the perfect brain, he was the king I
wanted, and we failed! We have to try it
again! Otto, we have to try it again! I
am going to prove that we can do it! We
waited for so long!
Baron
Frankenstein: Make him unconscious,
but don't kill him, or damage his head in
any way. I need his brain for my zombie!
I am sure it has the right instincts we
want!
