Description

In the annals of 70s horror, there are many iconic films. There is only one FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN and this edition will allow you to experience it as you never have before and probably never dreamed you could.

This package contains the Flesh For Frankenstein three-disc set, including a 4K UHD (in HDR) edition of the film, and 2-BDs, one containing the NEVER BEFORE ON VIDEO original 3-D version of the film, as well as the Flat version, plus close to 2 hours of newly shot video interviews all housed in a deluxe hardshell case adorned with the classic artwork associated with this iconic film.

Deranged scientist, Baron von Frankenstein, with the help of his bizarre assistant, Otto, is determined to create a new master race, of which he will be the leader. To achieve his objective, he constructs two perfect ‘zombies’ from an assemblage of body parts, intending them to mate. Meanwhile, complications ensue as Nicholas, 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"!

A delectably gory and cynical social satire from acclaimed filmmaker Paul Morrissey (Mixed Blood), FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN is among the most original and transgressive interpretations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel. With an exceptional cast, led by Udo Kier (Suspiria, Mark of the Devil), in what might be his most iconic performance, Joe Dallesandro (Cry Baby), Monique van Vooren (Sugar Cookies), and Italian child star Nicoletta Elmi (Deep Red), and featuring a lush soundtrack by Claudio Gizzi (Blood for Dracula), FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN became an immediate midnight and cult movie sensation. Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents this true genre classic on 4K UHD for the first time, along with its never on home video original 3-D version, newly restored from its original negative!

    Flesh For Frankenstein (3 Disc) issued in 4K/Blu Ray/Blu Ray 3D for the 1st Time!

    This is one of the releases I've been waiting for since the 80's when I 1st got it on VHS before going OOP for many years. 4K is stunning, but the digital Blu Ray 3D Disc is the icing on the cake. I always had to hear 2nd hand what it was like to see it in 3D back during its original grindhouse theatrical release. It even has a red/cyan anaglyph 3D version as well. Other recent Blu Ray releases didn't have the 3D version or Region B. Vinegar Syndrome is going to be my go to for cult movies. I had heard of them and got a couple of their movies from Amazon, but didn't think much of it until Amazon wanted $125+ for this release, implying it may be going out of print. I decided to research & found it directly on the Vinegar Syndrome website for $42.99! and plenty in stock. After Browsing their titles, I am compiling a wish list from their site.

    Solid movie with extras galore

    Movie:

    A little slow, but nonetheless very compelling. The visuals are gorgeous. Although I wasn't able to get the 3D working for me (the kind w/ the red/blue glasses), it was still amusing to see the scenes clearly designed to pop out of the screen. Udo Kier was giving me some Tommy Wiseau vibes (but in a good way).

    Extras:

    Absolutely packed to the gills with extras, with a lot of neat things to learn.

    Packaging:

    Very nice. I love the many slips this comes with.

    **** Set

    The crowned jewel of this last sale. A small batch were made available on day one and I was able to nab it. I’ve seen this in the wild and never picked it up. So glad I did now.

    To know life Otto, you must sirs F**k life in the gallbladder

    I first saw this film at an old theater in my neighborhood back in the mid 80s. Being a fan of Udo Keir I was excited to finally get to see this flick. The print shown was ok and it wasn’t the uncut version. Vinegar Syndrome went all out on this release. Print quality is excellent, they include both the R and X versions & a very nice anaglyph 3D version with Frankenstein branded 3D glasses. Nice set with 2 slipcovers housed in a hard slipcase. Included are a bunch on new ans archival extras. I recommend you grab one before they are gone.
