Frankenstein Island
“The power is 7,000,000 volts--it's alive!”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 74, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Balloonists reach an island where Frankenstein lore, strange inhabitants and disconnected scientific declarations have accumulated without much supervision. Cameron Mitchell and John Carradine contribute to an extraordinarily crowded collection of old monster-movie ideas. It is bewildering even by remote-island laboratory standards.
