Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Scott LeBrun A delightfully schlocky premise is given straight faced treatment here, as a Nazi scientist named Norberg (a slumming Dana Andrews) goes about the business of keeping various Nazi characters on ice and experimenting on them so that they can, one day, be resurrected successfully. A problem arises when his visiting niece Jean (the gorgeous Anna Palk) becomes VERY concerned about the sudden disappearance of her friend / traveling companion Elsa (Kathleen Breck).While somewhat disappointing - this doesn't play out the way that some people might want it to - it's an okay forerunner to the "Nazi zombie" genre that eventually flourished. There might be too much talk and too little action for some audience members, but everything is played with admirable sincerity, and the movie isn't completely lacking in memorable imagery. Writer / producer / director Herbert J. Leder ("Pretty Boy Floyd", "It!") gives us a pitiable decapitated head on a table, and the sight of severed arms attached to a wall. Filmed in Britain, this is limited in its color palette, and in fact was apparently originally shown in theatres in black & white. It features a wonderful schlock movie score composed by Don Banks.The cast is fun to watch, especially Andrews, as he makes an attempt at a German accent. Palk is an appealing leading lady, but Philip Gilbert is rather bland as the nice guy American scientist who becomes party to the machinations of our bad guys. Karel Stepanek and Basil Henson are entertainingly malevolent as Nazi goons. Alan Tilvern delivers a standout performance as Norbergs' crazed assistant. A young Edward Fox pops in and out of the story as one of the unfrozen dead. Breck is ultimately quite the sight, and she does earn ones' sympathies.An amusing, diverting bit of rubbish that may be worth a look for schlock enthusiasts looking for golden oldies of decades past.Seven out of 10.

Spikeopath British sci-fier that's utterly mad and quite awful at times, yet for fans of "B" movie schlockers from days of yore there's enough boldness and charm to warrant a look.In short order the plot entails a nutty scientist planning to revive frozen Nazis to kick start a new world order. Dana Andrews is the name actor in the lead role, complete with bad German accent, and Kathleen Breck is the star performer playing a head in a box; a victim of the mad scientists moving throughout the madness. It's all very silly and the fact that Andrews and company are taking it serious further induces the mirth factor. The effects work is a very mixed bag, but always fun, while there are some genuinely great scenes involving the frozen corpses, a wall of moving arms and every scene that Breck's head is involved in. None more so with the latter for the truly haunting ending. 2/10

smileybleyle When I read about this movie I thought it was going to be an amazing horror movie that must have just been skipped over by thousands of viewers. Frankenstien is one of the most gripping, as well as one of the most richly ambiguous stories ever written, and I figured this movie was just about to show me exactly how beautifully malleable it was. Unfortunately, this movie exists better as a trailer or even a synopsis. I have to agree with what a lot of other reviewers have written... its just kinda boring. How could a movie about the literal re-materialization of the 3rd Reich be boring? Frozen Nazis coming back to life... That is some bold, offensive stuff especially in the 60s. I'll tell you how(don't read if you are a masochist and actually want to watch it)... it never actually happens!!! The movie never climaxes and the only part that is memorable is the hilarious expressions on the headless female's face whenever the doctor enters the room (not frightening at all unless you're 5). But seriously... this movie is not even worth watching ironically. its just pretty bad.

moonspinner55 Handsome, square-jawed Dana Andrews--star of such classics as "Laura", "Elephant Walk", and "The Best Years of Our Lives"--finds himself in tragic circumstances here. It's a jaw-droppingly tasteless, would-be horror-thriller about frozen members of the Third Reich being revived by a Hitler-loving scientist. Oh yes, there's also a sub-plot about a woman's severed head that is either gruesome or hilarious depending on your point of view. Written and directed by Herbert J. Leder, who shows a tiny bit of competency behind the camera but absolutely no class. Why else would Andrews and the other cast members appear in this dreadful Nazi garbage other than for money? Tacky and exceedingly crass; view at your own risk. * from ****
