just watch it!
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
When I read about this movie I thought it was going to be an amazing horror movie that must have just been skipped over by thousands of viewers. Frankenstien is one of the most gripping, as well as one of the most richly ambiguous stories ever written, and I figured this movie was just about to show me exactly how beautifully malleable it was. Unfortunately, this movie exists better as a trailer or even a synopsis. I have to agree with what a lot of other reviewers have written... its just kinda boring. How could a movie about the literal re-materialization of the 3rd Reich be boring? Frozen Nazis coming back to life... That is some bold, offensive stuff especially in the 60s. I'll tell you how(don't read if you are a masochist and actually want to watch it)... it never actually happens!!! The movie never climaxes and the only part that is memorable is the hilarious expressions on the headless female's face whenever the doctor enters the room (not frightening at all unless you're 5). But seriously... this movie is not even worth watching ironically. its just pretty bad.
View MoreOrdinary, another take on 'Frankenstein' with dismembered body parts being given a new lease of 'life', this film remains ensconced in my head, (If you'll pardon the saying) since I last saw it about thirty years ago (not sure it's been repeated here in the UK or out on video/DVD).Disgustingly yet sort of delightfully so, horrible with Elsa's exposed brain and chopped off head, the last line in the film - my title above, gave me nightmares at twelve when I last saw it. A true kitsch horror flick that just has to be seen. It's not totally a turkey even if it sort of looks that way. Dana Andrews at the end of his career, still puts in a good performance helping neo-Nazis produce a new kind of 'master-race' with telepathic waves from his niece's chum's (Elsa's) chopped off bonce. she looks amazingly under-nourished and decomposed to boot, to add to the horror, whispering (yes, no vocal chords, or at least they couldn't be ably connected) and lots of nice tubes connected to her only remaining body part. She uses her telekinesis or telepathy whatever, to kill those who brought her condition to a head (sorry, couldn't resist!!!)However, just for that line, in my title, which is the end line of the film, uttered by her good self, I'd like to see it again. Nostalgia and nothing more! (And to see if it still seems as disgusting as I remember it!) * Since this review, I found it on Youtube, in nauseating low-key colour to add to the kitschness of it! Check it out!
View More20 years after WW2 has ended, a German scientist living in London, attempts to revive the frozen bodies of several Nazi leaders. Of course, there are some problems along the way (especially "woman problems")... The main problem however with this film is that it has absolutely nothing to say. Besides a ludicrous story, this film also contains some very "unintended-funny" scenes. Especially the dead girl's head is great! "It seems as though the head forced this glass of water out of my hand!" Needless to say that the dialogue, especially near the end of the film, is superb. This alone makes the film worthwhile. There are films that are far worse than this one (and with worse actors), but this comes pretty close too. Oh, and watch out for Edward Fox as one of the crazed Germans in the basement(!). 3/10
View MoreIf this is the same movie I'm thinking of, this young lady is visiting her father with a girlfriend. Somehow her friend's head gets decapitated (unbeknownst to her friend) and is kept alive by her (the "complete" girls) dad. A lot of things happen, I seem to remember Nazi's. But the last line is when the girl discovers her friends decapitated head alive on a table connected to its life support system, she asks if there is anything she can do. And the head says, "Bury me". Anyway, when I was 7 and saw that movie for the one and only time, I thought it was cool.....
