Udo Kier, playing the Baron von Frankenstein with the fixed intensity of a man reading an eye chart in a language he half-knows, delivers his mad-scientist creed straight down the lens. The gore arrives in fistfuls. The 3D process shoves entrails toward your face. And underneath the lurid surface sits a genuinely strange proposition: a Gothic horror made by people who found Gothic horror faintly ridiculous, and who decided the ridiculousness was the point.</p>Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000
