Rites of Frankenstein ★★ Erotic Rites of Frankenstein 1972 (R)

Ultralow budget remake with plenty of blood, sex and perversions required of surreal horrors. Frankenstein (Price) is murdered and his monster creation is stolen by his archenemy Dr. Cagliostro, a mad genius taken to kidnapping girls for their body parts, which he uses in dastardly experiments. Frankenstein's daughter (Savon) seeks to avenge her father's death through unconventional methods, of course. Just wacky enough to become a euro-trash classic. In Spanish with English subtitles. 94m/C DVD . Jess (Jesus) Franco, Dennis Price, Howard Vernon, Anne Libert, Britt Nichols, Alberto Dalbes, Luis Barboo, Lina Romay, Daniel White, Beatriz Savon; D: Jess (Jesus) Franco; W: Jess (Jesus) Franco; C: Raul Artigot; M: Daniel White.
