Watch Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove For Free

Too much of everything

The Worst Film Ever

Purely Joyful Movie!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

After reading several of the glowing reviews on IMDb for Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove, I feel like I'm in the minority. I really do not care at all for the film. In fact, I pretty much hate it. My 2/10 is incredibly generous. The plot isn't worth going into, the acting is about as amateurish as I've seen, the direction is poor, the special effects are laughable, and everything else scrapes the bottom of the barrel. When Ron Jeremy is the biggest name actor in the cast, you know you've got problems. I've seen people call this movie an homage to the Universal monster films of the 30s. I find that notion insulting. I think the movie might have been trying to do to the Universal monsters what The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra did to 50s sci- fi or what Scream of the Bikini did to 60s Eurospy. Unfortunately, it fails miserably. So, if it's so bad, why haven't I rated the movie lower? Two words - Carla Harvey. I watched the movie because Carla Harvey, one of the lead singers for Butcher Babies, has a very, very small role. She's in the movie for less than 5 minutes. She pops up on the beach, poses for a photographer, takes her top off, and gets killed. That 5 minutes of Carla Harvy is worth a rating point to my way of thinking.

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

While perhaps not entirely the homage that the advance publicity advertised (honestly, what movie ever lives up entirely to its advance billing?), this picture is definitely fun and clearly made with love and respect for the classic Hammer and AIP horror films. Director/producer/writer William Winckler wonderfully captures the look and feel of those vintage features, while at the same time updating the plot with flashes of gore, T&A, and, believe it or not, a storyline that loosely ties in to modern-day terrorism. Perhaps that's why the 2006 World Horror Convention awarded the adventure with "Best Feature Film" honors. It's not a perfect picture, but most classic horror film fans should find it appropriately spooky and entertaining. Recommended!

The DVD's director stated that he wanted to pay respect to the black and white Universal classics of the 1930s through 1950s, but did those films have topless babes at the beach and a slinky nightclub stripper? That's just part of the problem of this poorly scripted (by the director), inanely scored, and mostly indifferently acted piece. The leading lady (the director's wife) at least shows some personality through the shoddy proceedings. A mad scientist creates an amphibian man and secures Frankenstein's original monster to "conquer terrorism" (huh?), but they break loose, wreak havoc, and fight each other (a disappointing shoving match). Beast costumes are stiff and low-budget, with Creature faring better, and the Monster resembling the 1925 Phantom of the Opera (his nostrils) and a zombie-hippie, both poorly mimed by stunt men. Even the lead (also writer-director) also states at the end "Frankenstein is dead!", which refers to the creator, not the monster. There's also a flamboyant gay character for comedy relief, yet this feature conjures no suspense or terror, or even laughs, murder scenes are badly lensed. Other than some good monochrome cinematography, skip it.
