"Frankenstein Island" is among the worst made and boring films I've ever seen. Now this is saying a lot because I have seen more bad movies than just about any person on Earth! I've seen 95 of IMDB's Bottom 100 and thousands of other crap films...and this movie is clearly god-awful!
The story consists of four guys in a balloon that crashes on an island. No...you never actually see any of this....and there is a terrible voiceover at the start that explains all this. It doesn't, however, explain why nothing in the film makes any sense!
After landing, the four wander around a bit until they meet a bunch of bikini-clad women sporting the exact same leopard print. They also meet a lady who claims she is a Von Helsing AND Frankenstein as well as a bad actor in a cage (Cameron Mitchell) and a bunch of guys in black turtlenecks who love to fight. Not surprisingly, sooner or later the four realize that this place sucks.
The acting and writing and direction are garbage. The script (if there even was one) is nonsense and is filled with stange nonsensical speeches. The acting just terrible...even though two real actors (Cameron Mitchell and Bob Clarke) are inexplicably in the movie. They are bad (particularly Mitchell) and the rest of the 'actors' look like homeless guys who were picked up at a nearby shelter (I am NOT exaggerating and think they really DID do this). And, the director had the refined extincts of a naked mole rat. Overall, a garbage film that isn't even funny....just bad...and every bit as bad as "Plan 9 From Outer Space"...if not worse.
