 FRANKENSTEIN
VS THE CREATURE FROM BLOODY COVE (William
Winckler Productions) Campy Horror/Comedy. Black and white. 90
minutes. Not Rated. A fiendish group of scientists, with good intentions,
genetically develop a slimy sea creature with the hopes of using it to
defeat the evil of the world. However, the creature escapes and eats hot
models on the oceanside. At the same time, our lovable group of big
brains, dig up the corpse of Frankenstein’s Monster, bring him to
California, and revive him. Along with failing to brainwash the Monster,
the scientists take hostage a group of magazine workers who have stumbled
upon the scientists’ lab and handy work. Falling in love, the Monster
fights the scientists’ brainwashing techniques and before you know it,
comes face to face with the sea creature and battles to the death.
Paying homage to those great 1950’s creature feature flicks, Frankenstein
vs. the Creature From Bloody Cove does a pretty good job with the
campy suits, ideas, and even the music has that creature feature annoyance
(meant in a good way). The movie also includes some sweet naked chicks and
some comic release via a chubby homosexual. While the production values
are superb and acting above average, I was most blown away with the
creatures costumes. The sea creature outfit has a perfect 50s feeling and
the Monster’s get up is great and looks like how I think Marky Ramone
would look if he were a zombie. Camera angles also mimic the older
creature features; over the rocks and monster point of views while tearing
victims to shyt. Extras include making of documentaries, additional
footage, bloopers, deleted scenes, and audio commentaries. Fans of that
50’s genre that I’ve already written five thousand times will enjoy
this DVD, as will fans of low budget horror. However, do not expect low
budget results because these guys do a fine job. – Denis Sheehan
