7/10
Vastly enjoyable European horror film.
24 November 2008
When Baron Frankenstein is killed by a monster he created,his daughter Tania and his lab assistant Marshall continue his experiments.The two fall in love and attempt to transplant Marshall's brain in to the muscular body of a retarded servant Stephen,in order to prolong the aging Marshall's life.Meanwhile,the first monster seeks revenge on the grave robbers who sold the body parts used in its creation to Dr.Frankenstein.Soon it comes after Marshall and the doctor's daughter...Inspired by the Universal horror films,looking like Gothic Hammer films and containing a fair dose of European style blood and nudity "Lady Frankenstein" is an enjoyable horror film with a bit of romance thrown in.Gothic sets for Frankenstein's castle are certainly impressive and incredibly sensual Queen of Italian Horror,Rosalba Neri is a joy to look at.I have seen the American version of the film,the original European cut runs 15 minutes longer.
