| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumFun schlock with one of best titles in B-film history. |
| User ReviewJASON SI love this 50s drive in fright fest. The most hideous frankenstein ever to grace the silver screen. If only they still made em like this. I wanna to buy this when I can find it. |
| User ReviewWill "the Thrill" VGreat companion piece to "Teenage Werewolf." Dig that crazy messed up makeup. |
| User ReviewBrian CA great 1950's low-budget b-horror gem from American International Pictures studios. This is one of my favorites from the 50's! About a modern descendant of the Frankenstein family who takes up the family business, so to speak, by putting a teenage carwreck victim back together in his basement lab "complete with its own power generator, cold storage and Alligator pit. The make-up job on the monster is some of the most gruesome of any classic Frankenstein film. A really fun, campy little drive-in era treat. Trivia: This film inspired the song "Teenage Frankenstein" by shock rock legend Alice Cooper. The song appeared on the soundtrack of "Friday 13th Part 6 - Jason Lives!". |
| User ReviewTony KDeliciously snotty and tawdry, this B flick packs a great pulp-fiction punch. |
| User Reviewdanster bOne of my favorite 50's monster make-ups. |
| User ReviewD MA doctor who is ridiculed by his colleagues for his theories decides to create a being much in the way Baron von Frankenstein did years prior. He desires to create a super human being, not a monster, for the purposes of speeding up the purpose of selective breeding. He gets his parts when a couple of cars full of teenage party-goers get in a head-on crash. The person he creates is able to speak, think, is physically fit, and is a Christian. The creation escapes (of course) and kills (of course). Despite the movie's name, it is not a comedy - its actually a decent retelling of the Shelley story. |
| User ReviewErik OTeenage Frankenstein himself is a supporting character in his own story! Shameful. Campy but poorly-paced fun. |
| User ReviewBrett BLow grade nonsense, but it has its charms, namely the goofy makeup design for the "creature," and Whit Bissell giving his all. An ultimate example of drive-in horror fare of the 1950s. |
