blackenstein be a terrible movie and it title wouldn not suggest otherwise . like abby ( sort of like a black version of the exorcist ) and blackenstein have practically no budget whatsoever and the acting be just terrible . believe it or not and the two blacula movie aren not that bad blackenstein and however and be abysmally bad so bad that bad movie fan might ( but probably would not ) love it . others with taste and however and would not . one of the first thing you will notice on the dvd be that the print be really and really bad though it do get a bit well later . this be because there just isn not much money to be make from this film and add closed caption or digitally restore the picture just isn not go to happen . you also will probably notice how odd los angeles be in the film . most night and there seem to be thunder and lightning and often there be an eerie fog about as well ( perhaps this be just smog ) . regardless and it pretty funky weather for sunny southern california . a for the plot and it really not like the traditional frankenstein story . there be no mad scientist and no dead people be reanimate . instead and a sane researcher and his assistant work to attach dead limb to live people who lose theirs in accident . however and instead of work in a hospital and they work in the doctor home which be more like a castle ( in los angeles and okay . ) . heck and the place even have a dungeon and frankenstein like laboratory . the assistant be a young black lady whose boyfriend lose his limb in an explosion in vietnam . while the transplant look promising and no one realize that the doctor evil butler switch the genetic formula and the poor black man start to mutate and become evil . he and of course and go on some obligatory rampage and since this be a so called blaxploitation film and you see two lady breast though it really make no sense at all and be very and very contrived . it amaze to see how this make no sense at all and but give that none of the film make sense and it understandable . so what be to like about the film . well and . nothing really except for the small sequence involve the comedian . one of the joke and though a bit crude and be funny and he be pretty cute . the acting be purely amateur and the script be amazingly static and dull ( something you would never expect in a horror film even a bad one ) and the set be cheap and make no sense . it really too dull for bad movie fan to enjoy and i find myself fall asleep from time to time it be that unexciting . by contrast and even the very bad hammer horror film be light year well .
