Review of Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1974) by Robert I — 25 Jan 2012

While it is almost impossible to hate on a movie featuring a caveman named (no joke) "Ook," and his former mad scientist assistant midget friend (again, no joke), this is still a painful movie.

The plot really doesn't matter as a "monster" is created, townspeople fight a caveman (in what is easily one of the best so-tragic-it-is-inspiring fight scenes ever) and random nudity keeps the audience hooked (say what you will about the inadequacies of the production crew on this film, but someone was honest enough to realize sex sells.

.. even if it is in a random spring in the cave habitat of a neanderthal and his savage lifestyle). Of course, none of this is good and coupled with a bad English dubbing makes everyone involved feel even dirtier, somehow.

Still, it may be worth watching just to see the sheer eagerness of our female lead who desperately wants to love Dr. Frankenstein just like she wants audiences to love this disaster.
