This film begins with a large Neanderthal being attacked by angry villagers and apparently killed. The scene then shifts to a castle where "Count Frankenstein" (Rassano Brazzi) and some of his servants are digging up a recently buried corpse in a cemetery to further his experiments. Not long afterward three visitors arrive at his castle which include his daughter "Maria" (Simone Blondell) , her fiancé "Eric" (Eric Mann) and Maria's best friend "Krista" (Christiane Royce). Needless to say, Count Frankenstein is quite pleased to meet them and intends to make their stay as comfortable as possible. The only problem is that there is some infighting among the Count's servants which not only threatens the peace but also the safety of everyone inside the castle as well. And let's not forget that the local villagers remain fearful of everything in the vicinity. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather bizarre horror movie which moved at a rather slow pace and also seemed badly edited at times. Additionally, although I liked the performance of Michael Dunn (as "Genz") and the presence of the aforementioned Christiane Royce, the plot seemed too muddled for me to rate this film any higher than I have. Below average.
