Evaluate:

This gleefully lurid 1959 sci-fi horror has constructed a deserved cult status over time. The camp scenes of Virginia Leith’s supposedly severed head arguing with a deformed lab assistant, or grimacing wildly whereas utilizing her thoughts to manage a dreaded thing-in-the-closet are priceless.

In the meantime, the chain-smoking mad physician’s seek for the proper feminine specimen offers the apparent excuse for tacky scenes during which he checks out buxom babes through magnificence pageants, gyrating go-go dancers, a high-heeled catfight and a mannequin he hires to pose for ‘glamour’ pictures. Naturally, the latter has a scarred face, making her the prime alternative for the randy would-be Doc Frankenstein.

The film seems to be newer than its 1959 classic, as a result of author and first-time director Joseph Inexperienced’s use of location capturing, point-of-view pictures and hand-held camerawork, which supplies it an urgency missing in most of the studio-bound style pics of the interval. It additionally options some surprisingly graphic black-and-white splatter. For some motive, all the unique promo paintings contains a mind floating in a tank of liquid, which is ok. Besides that the mind has a big beady eye!
