My above summary does puzzle me. It could be that those that gave this bottom of barrel ratings saw the dubbed American International Release. the running time was also reduced.
I saw this last night(rental from NETFLIX) in Japanese with sub-titles & a 93 minute running time.
The correct title is FRANKENSTEIN vs. BARAGON
Granted the story line is very hokey, BUT there again MOST films of this type are & make no sense what so ever.
I liked the background story, it was at least interesting, I have seen more incredible plot twists than shown here.
The American actor Nick Adams has a major role & not just cast for Box-Office reasons.
The acting is OK for this type of film. One does not expect award winning performances, same for production values.
The special effects are good & final scene is the fight between ThE Monster (a mutant boy )& a giant reptile. we have seen these scenes many times. Nothing new or different..
My good thumbs up rating is mainly because I enjoyed it. & that is why we see movies, isn't it, to enjoy them.. So my fellow film buffs, be sure to see the Japanese Version & you will think like I do about this film.
Ratings *** (out of 4) 82 points out or 100) IMDb 7 (out of 10)
