Lady Frankenstein (1971)

A movie that—intentionally or not—subverts the common horror trope of the scientist's daughter. Rather than a naive innocent thrown into the middle of a situation she has no control over, she comes into the situation wanting to get involved and push things further, then very willingly takes control after he father's death. Her development isn't one of a character becoming corrupted by power, but rather revealing more and more who she was the entire time. Overall a decent movie done a disservice by trying to make it seem significantly sexier than it is.

6/10

Movie Review | Lady Frankenstein (Luppi & Welles, 1971)

Lady Frankenstein is the horrifying tale of what happens when women go into STEM. Okay, that was terrible. Please don't hit unfollow. Anyway, as this is a Frankenstein movie, you get all the requisite Frankensteinian fun. You have Dr. Frankenstein, played by Joseph Cotten, not phoning it in, who insists that this peers will stop doubting his sanity once he reveals his experiments on bodies stolen by graverobbers. The big experiment scene is full of the stuff you expect, like bubbling liquids, electric sparks, wires, all sorts of fancy glass laboratory accoutrements, and coloured lighting for dramatic effect. During this experiment, the monster's face ends up catching on fire, so there's no fucking way I'm ever going to Dr. Frankenstein for surgery.

The monster ends up breaking free and rampaging through the countryside, so Frankenstein's daughter, the titular Lady Frankenstein, comes up with the absolutely foolproof plan of creating another monster to kill it, which in no way will result in two monsters breaking free and rampaging through the countryside, at which point she'll need to make two more monsters to kill the first two, and then four more to kill those, and then eight more, and on and on until you can use this as a math lesson about exponents. Anyway, how much of that happens I won't reveal, but her plan involves a very questionably portrayed mentally challenged man who spends a good amount of his screentime hugging a sheep, as well as Jess Franco regular Paul Muller.

Anyway, I had fun with this. Italian horror is something of a comfort food for me, and gothic horror is a reliably cozy strain, so I was inclined to like this anyway, but this delivers enough of what you'd want out of those things. I will say that this suffers from the monster being kind of lame. It's a bald guy with a big head (one of the posters makes him look like Peter Boyle, which isn't entirely accurate but not too far off either), who the movie frequently opts to shoot from a higher angle so as to make him look unimposing. And he kills people mostly by hugging or pushing them, so the deaths are rarely as fun as you'd hope. But I watched this primarily for Rosalba Neri as Lady Frankenstein, who does a lot of eye widening to accentuate her sociopathy and can be seen in an assortment of period appropriate costumes ranging from flowy robes and dresses to a labcoat for when she enacts her plan that involves a number of monsters that I wouldn't dream of disclosing and certainly am not creating ambiguity about for the purpose of the very stupid joke.
