FILM:

Previously banned in the UK as a 'video nasty', FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN is Paul Morrissey's camp, gory homage to classic Hammer films.

With an International cast including the one and only Udo Kier (MARK OF THE DEVIL; SUSPIRIA) and Joe Dallesandro (HEAT; TRASH), this has built a steady cult following over the last 30 years and it's not hard to see why:

Gore aplenty (courtesy of FX artist Carlo Rambaldi [ET; ALIEN]), plentiful nudity and kinky sex, and loads of weird European humour just to baffle us all. It's great, camp fun with some of the most ludicrous, quotable dialogue ever - including Kier's infamous line about the gall bladder (unrepeatable here!).


DISC:

Tartan's disc is uncut, 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (a little soft at times), and has a great commentary from Morrissey and Kier.

There's also 23 minutes' of stills with Morrissey commentary, and 4 minutes' of audition footage.

SUMMARY:

Campy, trashy, but fast-aced and fun (not to mention gory), FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN has aged well. BLOOD FOR DRACULA is better though. Recommended.
