You ever watch an old Godzilla film? I'm a huge fan. But the problem with them is that there is never enough monster mayhem. You always sit around watching dreadful human characters interact until the next time the big guy shows up. Dracula vs Frankenstein isn't about the king of monsters. But it sure as hell gives you the same feeling and doesn't ever reward you.
A group of aliens plans to take over the planet. They capture 4 of the most famous monsters in the history of mankind. Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, and a Werewolf are all used as test subject. The goal is to research them and possibly create an army of such creatures to take over Earth. The only problem is that these creatures aren't so easy to manipulate.
Dracula vs Frankenstein is a rotten piece of garbage film. In a twist that should shock nobody, Dracula doesn't even fight Frankenstein's shitty looking monster in this movie. It's more like Wolfman vs the other 3 monsters...1 at a time! The film is littered with choppy editing and sleep inducing dialogue. When the action finally does occur, it's lit so poorly that you can hardly tell whats happening! I could go on about how awful this is. However, I'll just summarize it by saying avoid this film at all costs! Just admire the great box art from afar.
Side Note: This is actually an entry in the Paul Naschy "Hombre Lobo" series. I reviewed Curse of The Devil last year, which was much better. Also, Naschy isn't even mentioned on the box.
