SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Michael Ledo Frankie Stein (Jayson Spence) constructs "The King" (Graig Guggenheim) from various rock star body parts for his agent/producer uncle Bernie (Barry Feterman). From what I gather, he has the head of Elvis, the legs of Keith Moon, the hands of Jimi Hendrix, the butt of Sid Vicious, and something from Buddy Holly. However due to a mix up, he gets the organ of Liberace. This leads us to a film which concentrates too much sexual confusion. He leads a band called "Unnatural Urges." There was so much they could have done with this film had they not wanted it to be overly gay. The dialogue was poorly constructed as were the characters. It was a let down from all the potential the film had.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Kate Fallon, Joan Gerardi)
jacobjohntaylor1 A great story ruined by vulgar sex jokes and homophobia. I thought this would be a funny movie. The Frankenstein monster being like Elvis Presley. But instead it was just sick and stupid. It was like people who wrote The Hangover wrote a Frankenstein movie. And The Hangover is not funny it is just garbage. And this is just garbage. There are a lot films basest on Frankenstein That are the greatest horror movies ever Frankenstein (1931) The cures of Frankenstein Lady Frankenstein thous are some of the best horror movies ever. The book Frankenstein is one of the best horror books ever. But not this. This is just Pooh pooh. Horror comedy is o.k when it is funny. But this not fun it is just gross and stupid.
merklekranz A lot about "Rock n Roll Frankenstein" is annoying, starting with the simple fact that if you only have a one joke movie, the joke better not be beaten to death, and must be developed beyond the original idea. Unfortunately neither of the above apply to "Rock n Roll Frankenstein". The acting is amateurish, and the Elvis looks and sounds nothing like even the worst Elvis impersonator. Endless drug references quickly become tiresome, the homosexuality angle becomes extremely redundant, and the word f--k outrageously overused as supposed dialog. Even if you are into weird films, this is one to avoid. Everything seems forced, and comes off as though they realized that beyond the one joke, this was going nowhere. - MERK
coffin1 This has to be seen to be believed.A nutbag mixture of all good things in exploitation films.There's this guy named Frankie Stein who has made a perfect rockstar minus one part... his schlong belongs to liberace! (it was supposed to be Jim Morrison's love tool but junkie roadie made a mistake)That makes the monster a DIFFERENT kind of monster!There are really good songs (I'm a Monster, Electro-shock) and it's never boring (a rarity in this kind of movies i think)And where else could you hear Elvis singing... i got a boner blues ?Thank you and good night.. the King has left the building.
