Valeodollz T. @Valeodollz Mar 12 Boring, uninteresting, unengaging & packs no real punches...slow as molasses direction, too. This is a truly pointless sequel. See more Tim M @tgmacman Jan 18 While not an immaculate recreation of the classic story, Frankenstein 1970 does benefit from a meta reimagining and the return of icon Boris Karloff.

While to date I have never seen a terrible movie he appeared in, there have been a few which are just OK. "Frankenstein 1970" is one such movie. As he always did in his celebrated career Karloff does very well in the role of Baron Victor Von Frankenstein, the last of his family who is allowing a movie to be filmed on his estate in order to fund his ongoing experiments (Look fast for the actual Maltese Falcon that can be seen on set.). In Frankenstein's secret laboratory, located under the family crypt, Frankenstein is creating a new monster out of various body parts. When he runs out of materials he starts killing off members of the film crew and his own butler for the body parts he needs. While I was never bored with the movie, I just felt it was simply OK. Boris Karloff has certainly done a lot better. If you are a fan of Karloff as I am, I would recommend seeing "Frankenstein 1970" at least once. You will not be blown away by it (For that you would need to watch "Frankenstein" and/or "The Bride of Frankenstein".), but you will at least be entertained if nothing else.

How did Dr Frankenstein manage to get an atomic reactor into his dungeon with the narrow staircase? Why does the monster have a head that is the size of a medicine ball and why is he always wrapped in bandages when he is clearly healthy enough to go out and kill people? And what is with all of the shots of the tape recorder when we already know that the doctor is recording the procedures for the sake of posterity? Enough questions. The lighting is good and Boris Karloff is always fun, but that's not nearly enough of a reason to even consider watching this movie.
