Blackenstein (1973)
3/10
Thrilling (not so thrilling) Cheesy McCheese Film

Warning: Spoilers
If you like 'b' movies to just check off your list, Blackenstein should rate number 27.

This is a one of a kind experience that makes you realize just how slowly time can move. Seriously. I had no idea that one single afternoon could take 16 hours to get through watching this movie.

Eddie, a Vietnam Vet, tragically wounded by a land mine gets the crappy version of Lieunenant Dan's new legs (and arms!) in a thrilling (not so thrilling) adventure of third rate science and fourth rate acting.

There are three really amazing things to see in this movie. One: The 'science' laboratory set of Dr. Stein (LOVE the groovy funkified name shortening, really, I think it's a hilarious update to this century.) Two: the night club with an appearance by Cardella Di Milo. And Three: The glorious 70's porn-stache worn by Dr. Stein.

Other than that, enjoy endless minutes of the slowest walking done by the monster with frightful music that keeps you in a permanent state of daze. There are some amazingly gruesome kills where actors throw themselves into the arms of the monster, only to be torn up and have their guts mashed up. Death by bad acting!

This movie is a must see for everyone who enjoys a laugh at 70's cheese, and won't take the plot too seriously. Grab a drink, sit back and soak it all in!
