Marko B Classical "so bad - it's good" flick. I laughed my belly out, especially regarding the scene in which duct tape is used to hold the van together, not to fall apart. Another great scene is when doctor, hearing the door knock, says to Greg to wear his coat, in order to hide that he is hunchback (as if the coat can hide the hunchback). Also, scene containing rabbit in the laboratory is prescious. In fact, I'm laughing now, too. Even more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Better known as "DR. GORE", this is a real classic! Not quite as bloody as HG Lewis's later films, but much better made. Deserves a much bigger following than it has. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ugly, low-grade garbage - compellingly bad with a few memorably grotesque moments and some lovely C&W tunes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This one is not an H. G. Lewis picture, but it definitely feels like one. Writer/director J. G. Patterson Jr. stars as Dr. Brandon, who lost his wife (who’s really hot, btw...yet the ol’ doc looks like a bulldog) in an accident. He’s heart-broken and so decides that he can ressurect her in some way or another. So, with the help of his Igor-like assitant (seriously, the dude’s gotta be a cousin or something) named Greg, the doc begins capturing other hot women and using their body parts to bring his love back. This movie is a slow-moving turd. Skip it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A Frankenstein type thing. A dude is collecting parts from hot woman in order to build his dream wife. pretty dull, with some okay but unexceptional gore. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
