A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey (Blood for Dracula), Flesh for Frankenstein 3D is among the most original and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Baron von Frankenstein (Udo Kier, Suspiria), with the help of his bizarre assistant Otto, is determined to create a new master race. To achieve his objective, he constructs two perfect “zombies” from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Meanwhile, complications ensue as Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro, Cry Baby), a farm hand, begins an affair with the Baron’s sexually frustrated wife all while searching for his missing friend Sacha, whose head and brain have been used for Frankenstein’s male “zombie.” Upon its release, Flesh for Frankenstein 3D became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. Now, the movie has been newly restored from its original negative!
