Bikini Frankenstein is a 2010 American made for cable erotic film directed by Fred Olen Ray (under the pseudonym name Nicholas Juan Medina). It is based on the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Plot

Dr. Victor Frankenstein loses his job as a school teacher after being scolded by Professor Van Sloane for sleeping with his daughter, Debbie Sloane. He then moves to Transylvania, home of the legendary Count Dracula, to continue working on his research with his assistant, Ingrid. Five years later, after sleeping with Ingrid, he succeeds in bringing the body of Eve, a deceased woman, back to life using energy from a lightning storm. The trio travel back to America, where Dr. Frankenstein impresses Van Sloane, Dr. Waldman, Dr. Frankenstein's rival Clyde, and Claudia, Clyde's wife. After presenting Eve as a sister of Ingrid, he reveals the true nature of the woman as a result of his experiment. Following an erotic ceremony involving all three women, Eve explodes due to an overdose of excitation.

Background

The film was produced by the production company Retromedia Entertainment. It was broadcast several times in Summer 2010 at fixed times and on demand on the premium channel Cinemax. It was released on DVD on January 19, 2010.

The first indications of the movie Bikini Frankenstein were shown in the movie Bikini Airways. However, the film wasn't shown for a very long time, and the title was dismissed as a hoax. Later, due to the high demand of Cinemax, director Fred Olen Ray resurrected the title Bikini Frankenstein. The film was shot simultaneously with Twilight Vamps.

Reception

Dr. Gore's Movie Reviews reviewed Jayden Cole's performance, while Mitch Lovell of The Video Vacuum declared the film as weak, compared to the performances of Christine Nguyen and Brandin Rackley. Tarstarkas.net rated the film 8 out of 10.

HK and Cult Film News praised the film, given the allusions of earlier Frankenstein movies, the music and the cinematography.
