People are voting emotionally.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

I've seen clips and stills of this film before but discovered it quite by accident, and am perplexed by many things about it. This shows how invaders from Mars (one ridiculous looking effeminate Martian, and their queen, who looks like she's wearing bad Maria Montez drag), determined to swipe women off of the face of the earth to help repopulate their planet, face up with a robot monster, half human, half vacuum cleaner parts, and somehow land in Puerto Rico where they begin their mission. The military made robot monster, the supposed Frankenstein of the title, has half of a man's face and the rest is computerized or vacuumized, making a rather silly looking creature with hoses sticking out of his chest, and not quite prepared for tackling the martians as he makes victims out of some Puerto Rican natives he meets when he lands there accidentally. A good half of this movie is dialog free, covered up with goofy 60's style music and a rock song that repeats throughout the film. A pool party scene goes on far too long before anything really happens, making you wish that the Queen Martian and her queeny assistant would return for some idiotic dialog in their quest that seems to have been ripped off for the really bad TV movie "Mars Needs Women". Then, there's the monster that the Martians utilize, a combination of every bad monster from "It! That Conquored the World!" to the vacuum cleaner monster that swallowed up women with big bottoms hole, leaving only their shoes, in some other 1960's hideously bad campfest. This fanged creature comes pretty much out of nowhere and seems to be the cousin of the hot dog toothed monster that popped up in various forms as well in other cheapo films. I'd say that this deserved to be collected for obsessive fans of the sci-fi genre and seen once by the more choosy fans of that genre, as in its 75 minutes only has 25 minutes worth of unintentional laughs (or were they?) and lengthy sequences where I had to slap my face to keep me awake.

*Spoiler/plot- Frankenstein meets the Space Monster, 1965, Martian invaders with their queen are exploring our solar system. Martian invaders prepare an Earth attack as NASA sends a rocket to Mars manned by a android astronaut. Mistaking the exploration rocket for an attacking warhead missile, the aliens fire on the launching rocket and send the android back to Earth in a fiery crash. The android pilot is damaged with heavy computer & facial trauma and the NASA man-like pilot goes on a murderous rampage throughout Puerto Rico's beach areas. The aliens land and make-off with beach babes as breeding stock for their planet, Mars. The rampaging pilot and alien patrols converge on a beach pool party with disastrous results.*Special Stars- Marilyn Hanold, Lou Cutell, Bruce Glover, James Karen, Nancy Marshall *Theme- Andriods are not always your friends despite their helpful NASA programming.*Trivia/location/goofs- B&W, American, Look for Bruce Glover(Diamonds are Forever 'baddie' and famous Hollywood acting coach) in a dual role as alien Martian invader and the Space Monster. The Space MOnster suit was a re-issue use from the fine Crash Corriganville film called, "It, the Terror from outer Space". This film is supposedly in the TOP 50th worst films ever made. The Martian alien spaceship rooms have ceiling fluorescent tube lights and walls made of obvious plywood especially in the beach babe 'purification room'. The NASA scientists leave in a B-52 bomber. However, the plane they land in is a Boeing C-135. Flight change?*Emotion- A very enjoyable "bad" B-movie with the climatic ray-gun-firing battle between android and the Martian Space monster. True campy fun of the post 50's with all the trimmings: bikinis, music, cars, airplanes, and clothing.

Once every so often, you encounter a movie that leaves you completely dumbfounded… With a title like "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster" you can already safely derive that you won't be seeing a highly intellectual work of cinematic art, but still the film was at least five times as demented as I could ever have imagined! This movie is the epitome of cheap & trashy 60's Sci-Fi/horror. No plot was grotesque enough, no set design looked cheesy enough and you simply didn't have a satisfied drive-in audience if the movie didn't feature any extended footage of dancing bikini girls! There's something ridiculous to behold at any given moment during the film, whether it's a passive acting performance or a hilarious attempt at special effects, and the plot appears to get sillier with every minute that passes. Somewhere just outside the our stratosphere, there's a Martian ship floating around and nuking earth's spaceships because they're war declarations. The Martians are all bald guys with pointy ears and there's one queen who stole Cleopatra's wardrobe. The crew is on a mission to capture earth babes (preferably in bikini) because they urgently need to repopulate their planet! Meanwhile, the pointdexters over at NASA are running out of living astronauts and decide to skyrocket an android into space instead. The android's name is Frank and he looks quite nasty when half his face gets blown off, so his creators inventively nickname him Frankenstein. To make the title fully relevant, there's also a hideous monster aboard the Martian ship that Franky has to overthrow before he can rescue the babes. Put all these crazy plot elements together, add a swinging 60's score and some cardboard scenery, and you've got yourself a genuine drive-in favorite. This movie is probably a very unwise choice if you swear by the repertoires of Sci-Fi luminaries like Andrei Tarkovsky or Stanley Kubrick, but it's a delightful treat for us fanatics of kitschy smut.

As you can tell by my summary, this isn't among the finest films ever seen! However, I just couldn't give it a score of 1 because there are just so many terrible films that are even more terrible than FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACEMONSTER. In fact, the worst thing about this silly film is probably the title--as there is no Frankenstein in the film at all!! Of course, the over-use of grainy and pointless stock military footage didn't do a lot to make this a film worth seeing, nor did the horrid makeup on the alien men.These horny men have extremely cheesy makeup (complete with bald wigs with obvious seams and ears made of cardboard) but at least they are smarter than the usual aliens in films. They have come to Earth to steal pretty women for use as sex slaves since the only woman they seem to have left is their leader, Marilyn Hanold (who was the Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1959). Plus, this is a much better use of people than the usual anal probing, so as I said, these aliens aren't so dumb (just dumb looking).At about the same time these aliens land in Puerto Rico (yes, I did say 'Puerto Rico'), NASA sent a rocket to Mars that was piloted by a super-realistic looking robot (who the press and the rest of the world think is a real man). When the aliens make this ship crash, the astronaut is still functional but his face is severely burned--hence the name 'Frankenstein'--though he in no way acts like the monster and looks less like Franky but more like a cheesy actor with glop dumped on half his face. In the end, the cybernetic astronaut and a monster that the aliens have brought aboard their ship have a big fist fight and everything ends happily ever after for the Earth.By the way, there are a few things to look for in this film. First, the amazing acting ability of most of the women kidnapped by the horny aliens. Most of these ladies do great imitations of pieces of lint, though they have less charisma or acting talent. Second, the crappy alien spaceship (you've got to see it to believe it) is about 20 times bigger inside than outside! I guess it's like a Tardis (from "Dr. Who") or maybe it's just due to lousy production values (I'll let you decide). Third, while most everyone in this film were no-name actors, Jame Karen was in one of the leading roles. While his is not a household name, he has a face most will immediately recognize from other films and television--so apparently this terrible film didn't ruin his career!! Fourth, for anyone who is a fan of Disney World, extensive clips from this film are shown to patrons while they eat at the Disney-MGM park's restaurant, Sci-Fi Dine-In. So it's a bad film, but one not so bad that it will ruin your appetite or induce vomiting!
