"To know death, Otto, you have to fuck life in the gall bladder." So true. How many times have we all said this line?

I've seen this movie a few times before. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was probably only like 20 years old. I found it painfully dull. I just didn't get it. At all. I saw it years later, and I got it a lot more. I appreciate the absurdity of it, and it's pretty much all absurd - the acting, dialogue, effects, the ending.

This is my second time watching it in 3D, and I think it's one of the more unconventional but effective films in that format. There are a lot of great pop-out effects, which are fun, and the surgery scenes are much more effective because of it. There's also great use of depth throughout. The film really is one of the best uses of the Blu-ray 3D format (not sure on the anaglyph version). It makes me wonder what it would have looked like had they filmed Blood for Dracula in 3D.

Overall, I think Blood for Dracula is a better - and funnier - movie, but Flesh for Frankenstein is still some good gory fun and with 3D that really adds a lot to the visual experience. I certainly get that it won't be for all tastes, though.

I have seen Flesh for Frankenstein probably ten times now and this last viewing i have to say Udo Kier's performance is great. he really is the heart and soul of the movie

My first time watching this. Sure am glad I resisted the urge to buy the UHD. It’s alright. Udo is the only real saving grace. I’m expecting about the same from Blood For Dracula.

Absurd is a good description and though I have seen this film several times I still laughed when Udo Kier bothered to pick up his severed hand and tried holding to it to his wrist as if it would somehow reattach itself only to throw it in anger -- "It's all your fault!"

The final scene with the children looking upon Nicholas with menace made for a creepy unresolved ending.

Flesh for Frankenstein is a weird film with a strange mix of humor, pagentry, and gore. The acting is some of the worst especially 'the wife' which must have been intentional and fits with how homoerotic is seems (that the wife is just a set piece to gave upon her male companion). The organ special effects were great and some of the obvious 3D staging added a lot (especially the heart at the end). A lot about FFF felt like it might have gone over my head. I liked the implied circle of the sibling parents dying in tragedy for their children to pick again where they left off. FFF is a film that seems more interesting than good.

I’ll always remember this and it’s companion film as my introduction to collecting Criterions. Absurdly interesting, but not something I’ll likely watch for another decade or more.

I have seen portions of this over the years, but never the whole until today. This was a fun ride poking fun at the wealthy class in every way imaginable. Udo has chosen the perfect nasum. The specimen seals the deal in the doctor's mind by canoodling with 2 whores at the brothel. What a virile Serbian specimen! When it comes time to collect the head, they end up decapitating the prospective monk who has his eye firmly on the New Jersey farmer. Will Frankenstein's zombie ever procreate?

I had fun with this one. Started to listen to the commentary, but will save that for next time.

FYI - if you have a pair of the old red/blue anaglyph 3D glasses, AMC+ has this streaming in 3D. I wasn't prepared for that when I sat down to watch it so I wasn't sure if I had a pair somewhere, but I would like to check that out later.

Trying to go through the old subset film from 2008 on that I didn't watch or rewatch. Then I plan to dig seriously into the "They Shoot Zombies" list.

Gave this one a rewatch yesterday. Man, what can be said about this movie that hasn't already been said? I watched this movie in bits & pieces a ton of times on the old USA Network as a kid in the early 80's. It seemed to be on every other Sunday morning for some reason.

This movie is terrible but oh, so much fun. Awful, stilted acting. Some great and some terrible practical effects. Really nice sets. Beyond nutty dialogue and delivery.

It has to be seen to be believed. Don't take it seriously and you will love it.
