Incest, necrophilia, and Joe Dallesandro? It must be Andy Warhol. Warhol did indeed co-produce this 1973 schlock spectacular -- originally presented in 3D -- that was directed by Factory fave Paul Morrissey. Starring Udo Kier in the role of "Ze Baron," Flesh for Frankenstein is a horror story for a new 'n' lewd generation. This time around, the mad scientist has created the nymphomaniacally-inclined Adam and Eve, whose mission it is to spawn a new race. Along for the ride --somewhat literally -- is a lusty stable boy (Dallesandro) who main duty it is to entertain the Baron's equally lusty wife/sister. Sex, gore, unconvincing bat attacks, and the highest camp this side of the Appalachian Trail combine for a dizzyingly outrageous midnight movie. Flesh for Frankenstein got a second chance at life when it was screened at the 2002 Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide

The Criterion Collection breathes new life into Paul Morrissey's masterfully sleazy magnum opus with this exciting release of Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein. Presented in the original 2.35:1 widescreen theatrical aspect ratio and accompanied by an English Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack, marvel at the gruesome exploits of the twisted Baron (Euro-sleaze legend Udo Kier) as he attempts to build a master race of perfect zombies in his basement laboratory. Extra features include an audio commentary track with director Paul Morrissey, star Kier, and film historian Maurice Yacowar; a still gallery of publicity and production photos; and stereo excerpts from Claudio Gizzi's memorable score. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
