Rating:  - A Movie With Everything You Could Want--As Long As It Isn't Good
Want to recreate a night of ultra late-night 1970s TV in your very own home? Just slip in a copy of "Blackenstein" and you'll feel as if you're tripping back to that groovy time when you crashed on the couch in your parents' basement rec room and really got into some midnight movie or other. "Blackenstein" has it all--including a flawlessly scratched and grainy print transferred right onto the DVD.
You want bad acting? You got it. Factual/continuity/technical errors? Yep. Plot ... Read More
Rating:  - Stunningly inept filmmaking...
Short version:
Blackenstein: The Black Frankenstein is an awful, awful movie. Quite possibly the worst ever made.
Longer version:
It's a shame that Blackenstein isn't widely known. If it had the cult following that it "deserves," then it would appear on a lot more "Worst Movies Ever Made" lists. I've seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but Blackenstein certainly gives Manos, the Hands of Fate and Plan 9 from Outer Space a run for their money at the top of my list as the ... Read More
Rating: - To stop this mutha takes one bad brutha...
Back in the early 1970s someone (producer Samuel Z. Arkoff, I believe) got the bright idea to mix the genres of blaxploitation and horror, the result being the film Blacula (1972), which did well enough commercially to warrant a sequel titled Scream Blacula Scream (1973). Neither film was particularly favored by critics, but audiences enjoyed them, as they soon developed cult followings. This prompted others to try their hand at the newly formed hybrid genre, including producer Frank R. Saletri with ... Read More
Rating: - movies like this one killed the blackexplotion movement
in the 70's black actor and film makers found a voice in the film world. with movies like "shaft","super fly", and "coffy" movies with black stars and directors were big hits. then the blackexplotion films got hit with low grade movies like this one and it helped kill the market.
blackenstein is one of the worst made films of the whole era and features the worst acting,writing, and directing ever seen. but if you like to watch bad movies and laugh you may find some thing good here,otherwise ... Read More
Rating: - This Is Just Ridiculous!
O.K., let me start by saying that I love Black Cinema. I try to support Black filmmakers and actors/actresses, but come on. I purchased this movie some time ago (I really just want to forget I spent money on this)and couldn't believe my eyes. I don't want to sound harsh, but this movie was just plain baaadddd! I think someone was trying to take the frankenstein legend in a different direction, but it never reached its destination. Enough said, just don't waste your money or your time. Sorry.
