Frankenstein Island (1981)

Updated: Mar 27, 2023

My quick rating - 2,3/10. I am purposely going in after having heard and read this is one of the worst movies ever made. Sounds like fun!!!! Ok, the picture quality is awful but that is expected since I cannot see anyone going back and remastering this LOL. A group of guys are deserted on an island after a hot air balloon crash (a bit weird already) and to their incredible luck are discovered by a tribe of bikini clad women. I have seen far worse flicks but this one easily earns some points for being unintentionally funny. Just starting off on the island jumping out of a working rubber raft to immediately look for wood to build a raft starts off the constant unexplainable actions in this one. It is really hard to pick out what to tell you about this one. Clearly plastic props, dialogue that makes less sense than speaking with your shoe, what Frankenstein has to do with anything? The list goes on and on. Sometimes dumb movies just get boring with how silly one or two aspects are but this flick continually finds new ways to make yo scratch your head in disbelief. I mean you know it is bad when John Carradine towards the end of his days didn't acknowledge this movie as his worst film because he didn't KNOW he was in it LOL. I don't know how to put it in any other sense except it really has to be seen to be believed. If you can ever call something a classic due to just how incoherent and stupid it is, this is one of them. Definitely a masterpiece for al the wrong reasons that will have you laughing from the get go. If you can get your hands on it I urge you to check it out. I had to keep this one just to be able to share with others, it is one of a kind.

Good news, you can rent it on Amazon or find it free on Tubi
