Fun? Occasionally

Loosely based on "House of Frankenstein," this 'monster rally' throws in aliens for good luck. it doesn't work.

A sidebar film for the Paul Naschy 'werewolf' films, doesn't do justice to that series, either.

Efforts at romance, comedy, and romantic comedy(?) fall pretty flat.

Michael Rennie's last film; his character is given over to pontificating against emotion, in a badly dubbed voice (not Rennie's).

Attempts to preserve Gothic ambiance fails; attempts to incorporate futuristic technology is sub-par for the period.

Fun? Occasionally; but it is the least interesting of the Southern Europe horror genre, by far.
