Film Series Presents Flesh for Frankenstein
(Paul Morrissey, 1973, Italy, 95 minutes)
If you’ve ever watched any given Frankenstein adaptation and wished they were trashier, with more humor and more sex, we have the film for you. The 1973 adaptation Flesh for Frankenstein (a/k/a Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein) came from nutso director Paul Morrissey, at the time on the heels of the release of his trilogy of Flesh, Trash, and Heat. The star of those films, Joe Dallesandro, turns up in Flesh for Frankenstein as a stableboy with the hots for Baron von Frankenstein’s wife, with the good (/bad) scientist himself played by Udo Kier in a performance that sees forward to the celebrated madness of Nicolas Cage today. As for the plot, Baron Frankenstein assembles two perfect zombies, hoping to make them mate and create a new race. Guts and bodily fluids galore are spilled.
