Storia
In Serbia, the middle-aged Baron Frankenstein lives with his wife/sister Baroness Katrin and their two teenage children Monica and Erik. The Baron dreams of creating a super-race to restore Serbia's glory. In his laboratory, assisted by Otto, he constructs a desirable female body but needs a potent male counterpart. He mistakenly uses the head of an ascetic man instead of the intended farmhand Nicholas whom the Baroness lusts after. Meanwhile, Nicholas tries to free his dead friend while the Baron attempts to mate his two zombies. The film ends with a chaotic confrontation between the Frankenstein family and their creations.
Riassunto
Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) is an experimental horror film directed by Antonio Margheriti and Paul Morrissey, heavily influenced by Andy Warhol's Factory aesthetic. It follows the decadent Baron Frankenstein and his assistant Otto as they create life from stitched-together body parts in their Serbian mansion. The film blends humor, sexuality, and graphic violence to subvert traditional horror tropes, while exploring themes of desire, incest, and ambition. Despite heavy editing upon its initial release, it remains a cult classic within the genre.
