The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein

aka La maldición de Frankenstein; The Curse of Frankenstein

Poster of The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein

A mad scientist revives Frankenstein’s monster to create a new race of superhumans, only to attract the attention of a mysterious, silver-eyed villain. As the creature’s power grows, a seductive bird-woman manipulates events to fulfill her master’s twisted desires. Chaos erupts in a surreal blend of gothic horror, eroticism, and occult imagery.
