The Body Shop (1973)

Body Shop, The (1973, USA) C-75m. *½ D: J.G. Patterson Jr.. Starring Don Brandon (=J.G. Patterson Jr.), Jenny Driggers, Roy Mehaffey, Linda Faile. Uproariously campy FRANKENSTEIN version, where doc Brandon puts his victims in aluminum foil and connects them to an electric current. There's hunchback Gregory, who hopes to get a mate in the doctor's ultimate creation, a sexy woman made of different body parts. This movie is actually a romance! Some gory scenes, but pretty ridiculous, for camp movie fanatics, although Patterson brings conviction to his role. Music and special effects by William Girdler. Alternative titles: DOCTOR GORE, SHRIEKS IN THE NIGHT.
