Version of "Mystery and Imagination: Frankenstein (#4.2)" (1968)

Frank is curious.

Alain Jessua's French production, 'Frankenstein 90' (1984), is a solid, entertaining, original and odd take on the Frankenstein tale, particularly the Universal film classics 'Frankenstein' and 'Bride of Frankenstein'. Part comedy-spoof, part light drama, this is essential viewing for horror fans and Frankenstein completists.

Imagine Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein' but in color and with a whopping dollop of nudity and graphic, rampaging sexual appetites. In fact, the quest to satisfy the monster's carnal curiosity is the focal point of the film. More than likely, American horror fanatics have never seen anything quite like this. French pop star Eddy Mitchell stars as 'Frank' (the monster), and the film boasts two extremely sexy female leads that do not disappoint. Fiona Gelin (as Elizabeth) is simply stunning. >
