Typical mad scientist movie with a few nice extras. For example, Vino already wrote about 2 remarkable scenes with the necessary blood and gore, the long-invisible monster is a great addition and the sleazy search for the perfect body is rather er... sleazy. The pace in the first hour could have been a bit higher and the car crash is too sad for words, but I thought it was a fun movie all in all.

2.5*.

Get a review sometime. Worth seeing the first time. A nice looking Horror from the 60's. But this time I actually thought it was boring. Nice to see for once but then soon back in the old box. Still a 2.5

The title and year of release hold the promise that it's a campy movie. And it fully meets that. The screenplay has a short but intense storyline populated with characters who each have their own sides. There's gore - not so obvious for such an old movie. And there is the exploitation side with a focus on female bodies - always wonderfully supported by a sleazy sax. Camera work could be better. The entry of Eddie Carmel in the final is striking. Was in his time a kind of celebrity called "the Jewish Giant" with entries in the Guinness Book of Records, among others.

This is a great fun cult.
