FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEINTickets just $8 + drink specials!
Filmmaker Paul Morrissey takes on the horror genre to exploit its exploitativeness, resulting in an absurdly funny, ambivalently sexy and exceedingly gory horror-comedy. The one and only Udo Kier (DANCER IN THE DARK, BREAKING THE WAVES) plays the role of Baron Frankenstein — now married (to his sister!) with children (little creeps) — who spends way too much time in his lab. He has successfully created a beautiful woman and hopes to transplant the brain of lusty peasant Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro) for her mate. See it on the big screen in all its tasteless 4K CinemaScope glory. DIR/SCR Paul Morrissey, based on characters from “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley; PROD Andrew Braunsberg, Andy Warhol. Italy/France, 95 min. RATED R
In Memoriam: Paul Morrissey (1938–2024)
