Note : Where to begin? This gory 3D sexploitation adaptation of Frankenstein was directed by conservative Catholic director Paul Morrissey, cheered on by Andy Warhol, and stars noted creepy weird looking dude Udo Kier (who was a young creepy weird looking dude before he became an old creepy weird looking dude in stuff like Blade and Lars von Trier's The Kingdom) as Baron Frankenstein, beefcake actor Joe Dallesandro as a farmhand who gets involved in the goings-on, pin-up model Monique van Vooren as Frankenstein's sister/wife/mother of his children, and Arno Jürging, a guy who looks distractingly like Merry from the Lord of the Rings movies, as assistant Otto.
The dialogue is ridiculously over the top, and Udo Kier in particular delivers it in broken, German-accented English with the intensity of a crazed ferret with anger management issues, chewing on lines like "what we really need now is the perfect... NASUM!" and "To know death, you have to fuck life in the gallbladder!" (after literally fucking his female monster in the guts through a surgical incision). The Baron's sister/wife is sex-crazed and brings a young farmhand into the castle, with disastrous consequences, their two children are creepy and possibly murderous, there's an enormous amount of gore, boobs, and even some dicks, and it all ends with a pile of bloody corpses. It's not a good film, but it can be wildly entertaining if you watch it with the right mindset.
This 4k restoration is near perfect, far better than the film needs, with the exception of a few notable dips in image quality here and there, probably caused by the use of secondary materials. The audio is also crisp and clear, and the two commentary tracks, one involving Udo Kier himself reflecting on the dialogue choices, are both entertaining and informative.
