Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

CountVladDracula I would like to recommend one of the worst TV mini-series ever made. It's not boring but it's very bad and easy to heckle. This may well be the Plan 9 From Outer Space of TV mini-series. It aired on NBC in 1997. It's called House of Frankenstein (not to be confused with the black and white movie of the same name). Sometimes titled House of Frankenstein '97.There's a cliché detective named Coyle, a spunky female reporter (who gets turned into a werewolf and later cured by the stupidest method possible). And there's the most incompetent vampire / Dracula knock-off ever, a vampire named Crispin Grimes, who later gets revealed as being a fallen angel who... wants the real Frankenstein Monster to display in his night club and so he sends an expedition to find the Frankenstein Monster in the North Pole... Again, to DISPLAY HIM IN HIS NIGHT CLUB! C. C. H. Pounder plays a Van Helsing type of character who is constantly calling the police station to tell them that their serial killer that the newspapers call "The Raptor" is actually a vampire.It's just so awe inspiring stupid it has to be a Nostalgia Critic episode.This wasn't even something NBC did for Halloween. It aired in November of 1997. And never got a video release. But you can find the whole thing on Youtube.The person who loaded it to Youtube broke it into Act 1 and Act 2 and each act is broken into about 9 pieces. It was originally a 2 part mini-series. And just about every 90s cliché and trope you can imagine is in it, to remind you that this isn't the version from 1944.There are so many immense plot holes. Werewolfism can be cured by temporarily flatlining a werewolf, The Frankenstein Monster was found in the North Pole (like in Mary Shelley's novel) yet he has to learn to talk like the Universal Studios version even though he's obviously intelligent. All vampires are fallen angels... The supernatural community of this city follow Crispin Grimes even though he has to be the most incompetent demon / vampire ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JJjy9DTF-w It's so deliciously bad it reaches guilty pleasure levels. My favorite part is when the Frankenstein Monster out wits the vampire and his henchmen by letting them think they can hurt him with an electrical shock collar. "They were foolish to think electricity could hurt me." That was actually the most amusing moment in the whole thing. This is so awful it deserves a cult following.

OldAFSarge I must say that I have to disagree with the reviewer from England, no disrespect, but this show is far from being bad. I just don't think I view some of the shows, both on the T.V. and at the movies, the way some reviewers do. I don't look at camera angles, lighting, location, and all the other items that a more professional viewer might look at. All I want to know is it entertaining and does it have one or more people in it that I like. This show has it all. Adrian Pasdar (Near Dark-1987) is the police officer trying to solve a few murders, which I will not go into as it might contain a spoiler or two. Teri Polo (Focker movies 2004 & 2010) is a favorite of mine, even though I refused to watch the Focker movies. CCH Pounder (WareHouse-13) and Jorja Fox (CSI) are all in here as well. Nicole Nagel played a vampire bartender, but sadly, according to IMDb has not done anything since 2007. I must say I thought this show had the coolest vampire I have ever seen. I thought the show had enough action and moved along well enough to keep one in his or her seat. It is hard to review this without giving away too much, but I will say if it ever comes back to T.V. and you get a chance, give it a shot. As for me, well, I keep hoping it will show up on DVD one of these days.

exchronos This film was a great multi-monster film! For once, it doesn't have Dracula being the main vampire-or just one main werewolf. Peter Crombie does a great portrayal of Frankenstein's monster-this is probably the one of the best films portraying the monsters in modern times. The plot is unique, and the effects are refreshing. It carries the traditional love triangle well, and it lives up to the monster being an intelligent multi-dimensional character rather than a strangling figure who can't speak or barely think. It's an interesting movie that can entertain and keep you on the edge of your seat. It's occasionally played on the Sci-Fi channel if you ever want to watch it (that's the only channel I've seen it on after it first premiered).Sincerely, Exchronos

mord39 MORD39 RATING: 0 (of ****)I was happy to think that perhaps our old dear creatures from the wonderful Universal days would return in the nineties to breathe some life into the dead horror genre. Boy, was I mistaken.HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1997) is dumb, comical, and a travesty. It does not deserve to bear the title of its classical 1944 counterpart.Boy, is it over!
