oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 2005, Rather mad scientist movie. Near an isolated Californian beach, in a laboratory of horror, three renegade scientists have resurrected Frankenstein's long dead monster. The legendary indestructible corpse comes back to life again. At the same time, these scientists have biogenetically engineered a half-man half-fish abomination intending to use both brutes as weapons against worldwide terrorism. However, disaster strikes when the chemical brainwashing used to control these beasts fails. Instead of stopping terror these beings create terror in the beach community. The terror starts when the fish beast kills a gorgeous model while shooting a glamorous photo shoot. The scientists take the photo crew hostage. These crew survivors must find a way to escape both their mad captors and the rampaging monsters and warn the world of this danger spreading.*Special Stars- Larry Butler, Bill Winkler, Dezzi Ascalon, Cory J. Marshal, Gary Canavello, Alison Lees-Taylor, and Lawrence Furbish. Dir: William Winckler.*Theme- Scientists are always causing problems in society.*Based on- Frankenstein myths and 50's Drive-in movie genres.*Trivia/location/goofs- Shot entirely in black and white in Southern California. There is some superfluous female nudity and mediocre bloody violence at the beach. Look for the obvious cheap 'stock shots' from local aquariums to supply the underwater ocean scenes. This film is a weak attempt to reproduce a loving tribute to those classic horror and atomic age monster movies from the classic drive-in movie era.*Emotion- A somewhat forgettable film from a small independent Southern California producer with his wife and his group of industry friends that supply all the writing, acting, makeup, and just about everything else needed for this film to be made. However novel this approach is to filmmaking, unfortunately the film fails in its pacing, direction, action scenes and believability. This means the film suffers and causes a premature demise of viewer's attention for this film's audience. I found myself fast-forwarding through this video to possibly get to better scenes. There were not any and that is death for a scifi video of any sort. This is a shame to see.

goredevol William Winkler Jr. has put together a wonderful tribute to those cheesy "B" movies we know and love with "Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove." Monsters are back and this movie has them in spades. This is a film that Roger Corman would be proud of...no it's better than most of his work. Now the truth be told, there is a smattering of nudity in the form of topless and beautiful young ladies, but then again, this is the 21st century and that's not only expected by distributors, but also welcomed by a large part of the audience....including me! This is a film that screams out for a hot date by your side, a couple of cold ones in hand and a big tub of popcorn nearby. It's a fun romp!

Shane Steddum Hey Ghouls and Goblins! Arkansas' favorite (and only) late night Horror Host here to give my two shekels about this movie. We hosted Bill's hilarious romp last year for our Halloween special and received more positive comments on this episode than our big 3-D special last April.First of all, I gave this movie a 10 not for being a cinematic masterpiece, but because the producer/director did exactly what he set out to do in paying homage to all those moldy strips of celluloid that made some of us who we are today. The film is genuinely funny while capturing the feel of 1950's monster movies but setting at all in modern times. The creature makeup is excellent, the script well written, (and there's boobies!).As a horror host, we see a lot of what we can only refer to as "pure-dee crap". Some films we host wouldn't work if we didn't mock them with added inserts and soundbites. It was great to show a film that was already loaded with laughs and was truly entertaining on its own. Yes, the Great Pumkin was kind to us last Halloween, allowing us a chance to be entertained.One last point to remember is that "Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove" is a true DIY production. This is not the same tripe we see constantly pumped out of Hollyweird. In the recent trend of horror genre films based on video games, and the all of stale dull re-makes lately, the genre needs films like this. It takes a passion and love for film making to throw oneself into the ring all alone and up against the corporate competition. Keep this in mind before you post a negative comment about this one or any independent production. If it wasn't your thing, that's no need to trash it.Besides, how many fanclubs have formed around the sickeningly lame Wal-Martish re-make of "House of Wax"?Buzzard

Chad Byers I really enjoyed Frankenstein vs. the Creature From Blood Cove! It was just what I wanted it to be, a very fun, good natured ride.I grew up watching the Universal Horror classics as well as the great AIP and Hammer flicks...along with a huge amount of Grade Z films and I could tell watching this film that the makers had just as much affection and love for those films as I did. Unlike Lost Skeleton of Cavdavera (which I did like, though IMO it kind of wore it's one joke out pretty early) "Frankenstein..." isn't meant to be a comedy parody of the old classic horror films. Nor is it strictly an homage. I mean, you just can't make a movie like that anymore. What it is, is just a good time, with grave digging, werewolves (Butch Patrick!) mad scientists (including a lovely blond one with a British accent...you don't get better than that,) the Frankenstein monster, ghosts and a Creature from the Black Lagoon-ish monster. And it's all handled in such a fun way that I couldn't help but be entertained. And hey, I'm an adult, and I've got no problem with the R-rated take on the film. To me, it just adds to the fun and enjoyment. The nudity, etc is handled in the same fun/good natured way as the rest of the film. It comes across as anything but sleazy.So if you're looking for a fun movie with monsters, silliness, beautiful girls and some of their beautiful assets, and you'd always thought it would be kinda cool if the Frankenstein Monster and the Gillman could've been in the same movie together, I think you'll have a good time with this film. Don't go into it expecting "Lost Skeleton" or a die-hard facsimile of one of Universal's monster-mash films cause it is definitely not that. But it is a blast.
