Reviews for Frankenstein Unbound
Has its problems, but what a cast! Kudos to film critic F.X. Feeney for scripting a Corman flick.
Sometimes even bad Corman can at least be fun Corman. This is not one of those times.
Good performances can't save it. Palm trees in Switzerland are a nice touch, though
