ANOTHER Frankenstein descendant (Donald Murphy) is hiding under the name Dr. Frank (how clever). He's trying to make yet another human like dear old dad. He's hiding out at the home of kindly Dr. Morton (Felix Locher) and his beautiful niece Trudy (Sandra Knight). Naturally things all go from bad to worse in a boring and absolutely stupid manner. Bad movie veteran John Ashley has the thankless role of Trudy's boyfriend.
Pretty horrible. It's never a good sign when a horror movie shows a monster right off within the first MINUTE! Unfortunately it's one of the dumbest looking monsters you'll ever see! It was Knight under all that makeup and you have to give her credit for going along with it. Later on Frank DOES make a full grown monster which is nothing more than a man (even though everybody calls it a woman) in a silly dime store mask with lipstick applied! This is one of those movies where victims of the "monster" just stand there politely so the slow-moving monster can kill them. Even more hilarious is when the monster politely knocks on a door to enter a house...even though "she" had broken through it the day before! To make this truly unbearable there are two or three terrible music numbers added--no doubt to pad out the running time. To its credit some of the acting isn't bad. Locher, Knight and Murphy are actually pretty good. Ashley is terrible but he's given nothing to do. Also Harold Lloyd Junior (who gets a "and introducing" in the opening credits) has a few funny moments. But, all in all, pretty dismal. A 1 all the way.
