Of all the poor B-movies I've watched over the decades, FRANKENSTEIN'S GREAT AUNT TILLIE stands out as a particularly bad example of the comedy horror genre, a film which makes lacklustre spoofs such as Hammer's THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN look masterful by comparison. The problem is with the incessantly moronic script, which has Frankenstein's idiotic descendants contending with a revived creature alongside random issue such as a local women's liberation movement. Crass and cheaply shot in Mexico, this is notable only for featuring a number of once-big stars (Aldo Ray, Donald Pleasence, Yvonne Furneaux, Zsa Zsa Gabor) who really ought to know better than to have signed off on it. Listening to Pleasence's stupid accent is enough to have you reaching for the 'off' button...
