Blackenstein


Blackenstein, also known as Black Frankenstein, is a low budget 1973 blaxploitation horror film loosely based on Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. It was made in an attempt to cash in on the success of Blacula, released the previous year by American International Pictures. However, Blackenstein fared poorly in comparison to its predecessor, with most reviews agreeing that the movie was a totally inept mixture of the worst horror and blaxploitation films.

In a tour of Doctor Steins castlelike Los Angeles home, Winifred is introduced to his other patients the ninetyyearold Eleanor who looks to be only fifty Andrea King thanks to Steins treatments, and the bald Bruno Nick Bolan whose lower legs have been successfully reattached via laser beam fusion and Steins DNA solution.Winifred is startled when she sees one of Brunos legs is tigerstriped, which Doctor Stein attributes to an unknown RNA problem which he hopes to correct during the course of treatment. His sinister black assistant Malcomb Roosevelt Jackson seems overly interested in her reaction to this sight and in her in general. ........
