Gory, sexy and all-around cheeky horror comedy. Full of flaws, but weird enough to offer some rewards. Frankenfurter's lab in ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is heavily influenced by Frankensteins equally weird lad in this film.Maverick filmmaker Paul Morrissey's Flesh for Frankenstein reevaluates the horror film, infusing it with satiric wit and sexuality. Wall-to-wall bad taste–soft core porn, nudity, and splatter. Within the decadent walls of the Frankenstein mansion, the Baron (Udo Kier) and his depraved assistant Otto (Arno Juerging) have discovered the means of creating new life. As the Baron's laboratory begins to fill up with stitched body parts, the Baroness (Monique van Vooren) dallies with the randy new manservant (Joe Dallesandro) and soon the decadent, permissive household is consumed by an outrageous, bizarre, and hilarious orgy of death and dismemberment. Smart, savage, and satiric, this international box office hit from Paul Morrissey is presented here with all of its uncensored comedic excesses intact, complete with a stunning new transfer. DVD FEATURES: Audio: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono) • Newly remastered, high-definition transfer • Commentary by Paul Morrissey, Udo Kier, and film historian Maurice Yacowar • Audio recollections from Paul Morrissey • Screen tests and still gallery |
