I saw the old Universal Frankenstein movie series as a kid and loved it, but watching it today, I noticed that they kept changing the thing's brain in order to calm it until the little connections were worn down. Whoever wrote the script for this movie must have had those movies on the brain. I first Monstrousity (MST3K title: The Atomic Brain) late one night after Elvira's Movie Macabre; the late night horror movie marathon was one of my main staples back then. I saw this movie, liked it, but forgot the title. I've been looking for it ever since. Now thanks to Mike and the Bots, I have this movie back to remind me of how bad and ridiculous it actually is. It has a narrator who drones on tediously as if it were a documentary, an old lady who paws the other actresses as if she thinks the movie is real herself and one actress who has to act like she has the brain of a cat. I mean, the little critter's brain must be rattling loose in there like a Spanish maraca. The film is also full of useless Flash Gordon equipment and a lot of pseudo-science hogwash. Thankfully, the movie ends unpredictably, but you just have to ask: "How many actors had to die to make this ?"
