Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
The Old West gets a new medical practice, and the licensing requirements appear to be lightning and a famous surname. Outlaw adventure meets a Frankenstein experiment with very little concern for genre boundaries. The outlandish lab gear helps make this a cheerful double-feature curiosity.
