The Story: Lina Romay stars as Moira Frankenstein, the daughter of the famous Dr. Frankenstein. Upon returning to the home of her deceased father, she encounters her young widowed stepmother (Analia Ivars) with a lover and begins to remember the wild sessions of sexual torment at the hands of this twisted woman. One day she discovers the hibernating body of a female creature put together with the parts of dead people! The "monster" (played with gusto by Michelle Bauer), found in a trance-like state, awakens and scratches at the girl's chest! Tasting Moira's blood, she is revived long enough to plead with the girl to bring her more of the life-giving fluid! She then discovers a bizarre sexual "secret" about the monster and falls madly in lust! Obsessed with the passion rekindled by the creature's lovemaking, she sets out to fulfill its demands for fresh human blood! Her victims include a stripper (Amber Newman) and other poor unfortunates!
Review:
Like all of Franco's more personal works, "Lust For Frankenstein", while not a
high-tech production, certainly has some great things about it. The first lesbian
Frankenstein movie ever, Franco handles the lovemaking scenes with an incredible
verve that seems to be missing from the generic limp approach to sex in films
of the 90's. Seemingly simple at first, "Lust For Frankenstein", like so many
Franco films, has enough intricate things going on under the surface that it stands
up to repeated viewings. In short, if you are a Franco fan, you'll find things
to enjoy in this film. "Lust For Frankenstein" was the first Jess Franco
movie to feature several songs by Trash Palace's in-house band The Ubangis! (see
below)
