This film is co-directed by Paul Morrissey and Italian CULT master Antonio Margheriti (also known as Anthony M. Dawson), with Italian production giant Carlo Ponti facilitating the collaboration between the two masters. Antonio Margheriti also served as the special effects supervisor, and of course, there is the producer Andy Warhol, making it unclear who exactly imbued this great classic CULT film with its extraordinary and shocking quality. Frankenstein is a repeatedly produced CULT image, and this time it's even more extreme. The necrophiliac Baron and the mad Nazi-leaning scientist Dr. Frankenstein aim to create perfect men and women. He collects various human organs to assemble new bodies, and Dr. Frankenstein's indifferent attitude towards these blood clots gives the film a Gore Comedy style, with comedic elements frequently emerging in such a raw and bloody work. To endow the perfect man with a super lustful inner soul to achieve the ultimate union of perfect男女, Dr. Frankenstein needs to find a candidate and then behead him. He mistakenly believes that his companion, who wants to become a monk but has followed a strong farmer to engage in prostitution, is even more depraved and adept in matters of love, so he beheads that companion while they are both drunk. After reanimating the body, he discovers that the perfect man is actually introverted and timid, completely incapable of completing the union. Almost everyone in the film has an evil heart, except for Dr. Frankenstein; his wife, who is related to him by blood and is in a consanguineous marriage, is a hypocritical and lewd woman. She publicly condemns the strong farmer's lewd behavior while privately seeking to satisfy her own desires. She even proposes to "use" the new perfect man and betrays the strong farmer, ultimately dying during intercourse with the immensely powerful artificial man due to a wrong command, resulting in her being held tightly, breaking her bones and leading to her demise. The doctor’s assistant is influenced by him to tear open and insert himself into women's chests to satisfy his vile thoughts, which ultimately leads to the death of the artificial woman and his own murder at the hands of an enraged doctor. Most surprisingly, the doctor's children, intending to save the farmer, end up hanging him higher upon seeing the bloody entrails in the cabinet. Dr. Frankenstein is played by Udo Kier, who also portrayed Count Dracula in "Blood for Dracula," and is absolutely classic!
