nothing sacred in the world of exploitation cinema and not even mary shelley legendary novel or the classic universal make up effect on boris karloff . and thank the heaven for that and otherwise we never would have see this wondrously demented blaxploitation interpretation of frankenstein . blackenstein be a delightfully inept movie and some would even categorize it under so bad it great and and the script go far beyond simply copy the original shelley tale . there be even flash of the island of dr. moreau to be find here and there another mini sub plot about a rejuvenation serum . the actual frankenstein plot be moderately alter as well and since the mad doctor ( yes and two in this case and black and white brotherly mess with mother nature and god creation together . ) do not intend to re insert life into dead body part and but supply a wounded vietnam veteran with new arm and leg . the procedure doesn not go a planned and due to the sabotaging of a jealous assistant and and a monstrous creation arises from the operating table . the genetically alter brutha go on a murder rampage but his endear wife still doesn not give up on him . blackenstein be original and funny because of it ineptness and but after a while it nearly become unendurable to sit through . the pace slow down fast and the story revert to boredom and the dialog be horrible and the make up effect be miserable and the acting performance be lamentable . especially roosevelt jackson and a malcomb the assistant and be the hammy performer i have see in a long time . the dvd state that the operating sequence be shoot with the same and carefully persevere scenery and set of the original frankenstein film . that quite difficult to believe but and a say and everything possible in the 70 exploitation industry . blackenstein be definitely not a good film and but nevertheless recommend to people with a morbid and insatiable curiosity for weird film making .
