Flesh for Frankenstein in 3D
Flesh for Frankenstein in 3D
Baron von Frankenstein (played by Euro-cinema icon Udo Kier) labors to create a pair of perfect male and female specimens from parts of the dead in this flagrantly unfaithful reworking of Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel. Filmmaker Paul Morrissey was a key member of Andy Warhol’s art scene at the Factory and directed such Warhol-produced classics as Flesh (1968), Trash (1970), and Heat (1972); this film was first released in 1973 as Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein. The combination of Kier’s unrestrained performance, the jaw-dropping comedic dialogue, extreme sex and violence, and 3D cinematography helped make Flesh for Frankenstein a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.
