Demented neurosurgeon, Victor Franks, experiments on a human specimen whose co-operation is won through promises that experiments will eventually cure his handicap. But when the specimen begins to experience disturbing visions of murders, he attempts to opt out of the experiments. Franks kills him and, with his associate, work to re-animate the corpse. Finally, the corpse rises from the dead and starts off on a grisly string of killings.
It is often said "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". Well, the Frankenstein monster is pretty cool looking. There we go, now let's talk about the rest of the movie.
Frankenstein Reborn, a very loose adaptation of Mary Shelly's original story, sports awful acting, painful dialogue, and a plot line which is as choppy and full of holes as the editing is. It strives to make up for these faults with a respectable level of gore, and random lesbian sex; standard throw-ins for filmmakers struggling to win an audience for a largely flatulent film. Unfortunately, no can do... Frankenstein Reborn still comes out nearly unwatchable. It would be really cool to see a proper modern re-make of Frankenstein, but this film isn't it.
