(Blu-ray, Redemption)
Dr. Frankenstein is killed by a strange bird woman immediately after creating his monster. Frankenstein's daughter arrives shortly afterwards and uses magnetism to re-animate her father and get him to tell her what happened. Meanwhile, the monster has come under the spell of Cagliostro, a supernatural being who arrives every few centuries to wreak havoc on mankind. Cagliostro uses the monster to abduct beautiful women and bring them to his castle, where he kills them and uses their body parts to construct the perfect woman, which naturally he plans to mate with the monster to create a new race. If you can believe all of that, there is actually some decent widescreen photography on display here, and the mood varies from surreal, to creepy, to sleazy, sometimes in the same scene. I can't say I wasn't entertained.
