'Frankenstein, il lo w -budget gore
Andy Warhol's Frankenstein is un- horror movies on late night television
doubtedly a must-see film for many that would be just as interesting and a
moviegoers simply because of what it lot less pretentious. But Morrissey lsn t
is-the hottest curiosity piece of an unknown B-director. He s a cinematic
sub pop-art sensationalism In years. lt is name who has made a bad movie even
also the worst motion picture I've seen worse and offered it up as sensationai-
in a long, long time. istic manna for the masses.
As everyone knows by now, Warhol
had little to do with the making of
Frankenstein. This monster is the
creation of writer-director Paul
Morrissey. The movie looks low-budget
and it spurts, oozes and splatters its
way to what must be some kind of blood
and guts ultimate. It's not at ail
frightening but is horrible enough to
turn the stomach.

The movie is obviously fakey (rubber
bodies, etc.) and Morrissey has
indicated that the gore is all part of an
underlying campiness. The film's end
ing, with body after body falling into
one big bloody pile, could have been a
fine satiric tour da force. Out on hardly
notices this type of thing amid aH the
other grossly exploited .ies.
Some critics have read deep mean
ings into Morrissey's "vision"; finding
statements on youth, culture, sexual
mores, etc. You could find the same
things (if you looked hard enough in
dozens of ignored, obscure grade-B
If Frankenstein is a fascinating
Curiosity piece, it is also sickening
trash. The acting is terrible. Warhol's
regular Joe Dallesandro performs his
usual one-man stud service and plods
through the movie with a disinterested,
misplaced Brooklyn accent. Monique
Van Vooren, another regular, provides
the sex interest.
Only Otto, the Baron's meek,
condescending assistant, seems to
know what's really going on. His
amazed looks and comic eye rolling
seem to indicate how dumb the whole
mess is.
The film is often h ilarious but we are
laughing at it and not with it.
Frankenstein is one movie we didn't
need.
