Flesh for Frankenstein is a horror-comedy film directed by Paul Morrissey. It was released in 1973 as an Italian-French production, with the title "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein." The movie features bizarre, grotesque, and often humorous scenes that have become a cult classic among horror fans.
The film begins with Baron Frankenstein (Udo Kier) and his assistant Otto (Arno Juerging) attempting to create a perfect male and female. They want to create a new race that will replace the current "degenerate" population. In order to achieve their goal, they need to harvest the best organs from the most beautiful people. They lure unsuspecting victims to their castle and kill them to get the necessary body parts.
Meanwhile, Baron Frankenstein's wife, Baroness Katrin (Monique van Vooren), is bored with her life and starts an affair with their new manservant, Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro). Nicholas is a handsome and virile young man who becomes the object of desire for many of the household's residents.
As the experiments progress, things start to go wrong. The female creature (Dalila Di Lazzaro) is made from parts of corpses that were not all female, and she develops strange, uncontrollable urges. The male creature (Srdjan Zelenovic) is made from parts of his cousin, who was very sexually active, and he also develops a strong lust.
The climax of the movie comes when the Baroness confronts the male creature, and a violent and bloody orgy erupts that involves all the characters. The film ends with a shocking twist.
Flesh for Frankenstein is known for its over-the-top and gory scenes, as well as its satire of the horror genre. It was released with an X-rating and was banned in some countries, but it has since become a cult classic and is considered a landmark in the horror-comedy genre.
