merklekranz A lot about "Rock n Roll Frankenstein" is annoying, starting with the simple fact that if you only have a one joke movie, the joke better not be beaten to death, and must be developed beyond the original idea. Unfortunately neither of the above apply to "Rock n Roll Frankenstein". The acting is amateurish, and the Elvis looks and sounds nothing like even the worst Elvis impersonator. Endless drug references quickly become tiresome, the homosexuality angle becomes extremely redundant, and the word f--k outrageously overused as supposed dialog. Even if you are into weird films, this is one to avoid. Everything seems forced, and comes off as though they realized that beyond the one joke, this was going nowhere. - MERK
Gore-Hound This movie was really horrible. I can't believe I wasted my time/money on this piece of garbage. I generally would not post a negative review on here, but I feel people must be warned. At least it sounded decent on paper, but on screen, it just wasn't all there. Mary Shelley is probably rolling around in her grave.
insightstraight The first half of this film works pretty well for me, though I thought there was waaaay too much of Barry Feterman as the foul-mouthed Bernie Stein. Not that he didn't act the role capably, but there was so much more of him than the plot required that one started to wonder if he had been an investor in the film, and demanded extra screen time...The musical numbers are fun, and Guggenheim tries hard as the "King". But once the monster's sexual confusion "comes up", the film devolves into an endless string of gerbil and "hershey highway" jokes. I'm not sure if these are intended as gay camp or gay bashing, but either way the film devotes far too much time to them, and not enough to the potential of an "assembled" rock star.Many elements of this film work, and it looks pretty good for a low-budget production. But somewhere along the way the concept loses steam and chugs along slowly, relying on a very low grade of humor.
coffin1 This has to be seen to be believed.A nutbag mixture of all good things in exploitation films.There's this guy named Frankie Stein who has made a perfect rockstar minus one part... his schlong belongs to liberace! (it was supposed to be Jim Morrison's love tool but junkie roadie made a mistake)That makes the monster a DIFFERENT kind of monster!There are really good songs (I'm a Monster, Electro-shock) and it's never boring (a rarity in this kind of movies i think)And where else could you hear Elvis singing... i got a boner blues ?Thank you and good night.. the King has left the building.
