Rating: - Jess and the tin foil Frankenstein!
I agree with some of the other reviews about this film. If you know Franco's work then you know you take the good with the bad, and some you like for whatever poison you might prefer.Of the 40 or so films I've seen..(they say he's done 136)..in which most he turned into a kind of special Olympics for film makers..most are sloppy weirdness that you can't decipher. Actually being on acid at the time might help. However,amidst the rubble of worn suitcases,jazz music, film canisters,wine bottles and ... Read More
Rating:  - Medium Franco
There's good Franco, bad Franco, trippy Franco, sleazy Franco, and downright unwatchable Franco. It is often best to let someone else test the waters on the bulk of his sizable cannon, before you take the plunge either with your time or money. I'd heard plenty of both good and bad things about Rites of Frankenstein, so predictably I suppose it landed somewhere in the middle.
On the eve of bringing life to his creation Frankenstein is murdered, and his monster is stolen by the mythical ... Read More
Rating: - Franco's Most Effective Film
For the uninitiated, Franco is very definitely an acquired taste, and his work is wildly uneven. At their worst, his films are wretched and virtually unwatchable. At their best, they're quite effective in evoking a claustrophobic, hallucinatory mood of menace and horror. This is probably my favorite of his numerous cinematic "atrocities" (although I like "Vampyros Lesbos" almost as well). Absurd, nonsensical, senseless, full of beautiful women and mindless violence and horny monsters...it's all these ... Read More
Rating: - Legendary!! Nice print and subtitled too!!!
Jesus Franco's """La Maldicion de Frankenstein""" is now on dvd in the US. I am very excited about this and other future releases. Image Entertainment's release of this marks the first time I have seen this. I was aware of muddy bootleg copies for years, but somehow always avoided them. Franco seems to be a love it or hate it affair with over 180+ titles in his oeurve, it's sure there is some crap amongst the good. This was actually much better than I expected. Widescreen print and the use of great cinematography ... Read More
