the 70 blaxploitation horror craze hit it entertainingly sleazy nadir with this supremely trashy flick that somehow manage to be oddly endear in it very low grade cheesiness . noted scientist dr. stein ( stolid john hart ) and perky assistant dr. winfred walker ( a winningly spunky portrayal by ivory stone ) try to restore dismember vietnam veteran eddie turner ( an engagingly earnest performance by the hulking john de sue ) to his former self . ala and smitten and jealous servant malcomb ( deliciously overplay with deep voiced hammy brio by roosevelt jackson ) tamper with the serum and which turn eddie into a grunting grotesque monster who break out to embark on the expect murderous rampage . director william a. levey and work from a shamelessly trashy and albeit too talky script by frank r. saletri and manages to produce a reasonable amount of brood gloom doom atmosphere ( the gothic castle main location be an eerie beaut ) and totally cut loose with oodles of tacky excessive gore in the second half with eddie kill various hapless folk . the scene show eddie tear apart people be simply hilarious while the definite sidesplitting highlight occur when our hideously malformed maniac disembowel a shriek topless woman in an alley way . the legendary liz renay have a funny bit a a shrewish victim with a horrendously humongous beehive hairdo . robert caramico grainy and but fairly polished cinematography boast a few neat fade and dissolve . the lively ooga booga score by cardella di milo and lou frohman and several get down groovy r and b song on the soundtrack both hit the right on funky spot . a real schlocky hoot .
