College professor Dr. Victor Frankenstein (a solid and likeable performance by Max Rhyser) brings a corpse (Constantin Tripes in gnarly make-up) back to life. Meanwhile, the lethel mummy (Brandon deSpain in equally funky make-up) of an evil pharoah returns to life and goes after Victor's Egyptologist girlfriend Naihla Khalil (a perky and appealing portrayal by Ashton Leigh). While writer/director Damien Leone treats the nifty premise with admirable sincerity and delivers a satisfying serving of graphic bloody gore, he alas lets the meandering narrative unfold at an often sluggish pace and pads out the running time to an overly bloated 115 minutes, which in turn keeps both tension and momentum to a minimum. Fortunately, the two leads are quite personable, plus their are sturdy supporting contributions from Boomer Tibbs as the possessed Professor Walton and John Pickett as creepy jerk Carter. However, despite the cool-looking monsters and a big climatic confrontation between the two titular beasts that's staged with appropriately savage gusto, it's a genuine pity that this movie nonetheless takes a bit too long to get to the good stuff. A strictly middling diversion at best.

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME (4) and today we review .......a frankenstein movie that doesnt suck ???? Wait is that possible ? Yes ...yes it is ........... now before you grab your torches and pitch forks ........let make one thing clear ...JUST because the old black and white frankenstein film was a "classic" and it was the first of its kind etc ...doesnt mean it was great ......FOR its time it was king of the hill 100% ......and it does indeed deserve a place for recognition in MANY ways BUT honestly .......... the costuming on the monster was a bit ..... MEH at best ...lol.... looked like he fell out of a crate full of that shredded packing paper stuff glued to him all over ....... so NO, not impressed ......NOW here we have a legit frankenstein monster HOLY CRAP ........honestly one of the best ive seen, and i wish this film would have been an entire film just about the DR vs monster struggle .... the mummy was REALLY out of place ........ you could have cut all the mummy scenes out and had one of the best short franken films ever made .......it was cool to see them battle at the end BUT the monster, and how he became this straight up murderous bad guy , knowing who he was before and going back to those ways was solid and worth watching just for that story alone .........the mummy just hung out in a room all day and waited around ... like .... okay ? Felt like, he didnt do anything until the last 5 minutes ...sure he kills people BUT he literally lays there , they walk over to him , surprise and dead ........wow ........ no depth to him, even though they REALLY tried to tell a story for him ... it was "old and boring" just like the mummy ......... FX were great ,..... the acting was WAY better than usual ...........this film is well above average and gives a new look at the monster and even the mummy in some aspects ....... the story was solid over all .... i mean the mummy side was generic as its the same old "im cursed release me you reincarnated soul " ....BUT again the redeemer here .... the monster ..... MAN i wish it was just a film about THIS version of frankensteins monster ... i cant stress enough how much i never liked frankenstein movies but this one is tight ........sure its a bit cheesy with the fight scene thing BUT thats not enough to detour from the films greater parts ........ one of the best designs for the monster ever, he actually looks like a corpse , not just a guy with some stiches on his face ....... sadly i do think the cover art kind of makes the film look "less" than it is , i remember staying away from this film in the rental store (when those were a thing lol) but glad i watched it now ...... worth the watch for sure ..... 8/10.

Good movie to watch especially the scenes were shot in new York city but movie is not promising all characters look dump.

Naihla Khalil (Ashton Leigh) is a popular professor loved by all...the Mummy (Brandon deSpain), Frankenstein's monster (Constantin Tripes), and a horny college professor (Max Rhyser). A cursed mummy is brought to the same university that Victor Frankenstein is performing re-animation experiments using body parts brought to him by the sinister janitor, no questions asked. You can guess from the title what pretty much happens. It is not the worst film imaginable from the title. They did spend some money on special effects. Then again , I would say it was less entertaining than "Cowboy vs. Alien." Okay as Redbox rental. The winner of this film will take on the winner of Edward vs. Jacob Guide: F-bomb. Sex. No nudity.

I stumbled upon "Frankenstein vs The Mummy" in 2019, and hadn't even heard about it up until now. Granted with a title such as this, I can't really claim to have held any hopes up particularly high for the chance of being in for a grand movie experience here. But still, the movie does have two very iconic horror characters in it, and that was more than sufficient to make me give the movie a chance. The script and storyline in "Frankenstein vs The Mummy" was straight forward, which at least counted for something. But at the same time it was so horribly simplified that it offered nothing for the audience, it didn't require the audience to do any thinking or participation of any kind. You just shut down, sit back and watch the movie as it unfolds on the screen. The effects in the movie were adequate and actually were on the better end of the mediocre movie special effects scale - if there is such a thing. By that I mean that there are monster movies out there with far, far worse special effects than what was present on the screen in "Frankenstein vs The Mummy". The mummy was actually quite decent to look at, whereas the Frankenstein golem was sort of not all that great, especially because his torso and arms were ordinary skin colored, whereas his face had a sick yellow hue, it just didn't look natural and looked so askew that it stole focus from everything else. That was just bad in terms of monster make-up. Now, as for the acting, well let's just say that you will not be in for any award winning performances here. But given the concept of the movie, then you know aforehand what you are getting yourself into. Mind you, I am not saying that the actors and actresses here were bad; I am merely saying that it was adequate performances taking into consideration the script and material they had to work with. Take heed, as the movie is branded as 'horror'. Well, it might rightfully be so by default because of the mummy and Frankenstein's golem, but the movie wasn't particularly scary. It felt more like a movie that tried to embrace multiple genres all at once but failing to do so with grace and good execution. Don't sit down to watch this movie if you expect a proper horror movie. I sat through the entire movie, and found it to be adequate entertainment for sure. However, it is hardly a movie that will find its way back to my movie system for a second viewing, because the movie just doesn't have the contents to support multiple viewings.

Ever since Universal were unable to resist matching two of their biggest horror names in 'Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (1942)', there has been a periodic fascination with uniting well-known monsters over the years. And in many of these meetings, the battle we are all waiting to see is saved until the last ten minutes. Such is the case here. Sadly, when it comes, the battle is little more than a punch-up in a darkened room. Monster mash-ups like this are usually designed not to be taken too seriously. The problem with this is that, at six minutes shy of two hours, 'Frankenstein vs The Mummy' is just too long. The actors are competent, but the characters are underwritten and impossible to be concerned about. Instead of personalities, their function is to react to the alleged horror around them. The possible exception is Doctor Walton, played by a marvellously idiosyncratic actor with the wonderful name Boomer Tibbs. The horror, sadly, is fairly negligible, despite some impressive effects. The music – a hugely underrated way of sustaining an atmosphere, in my view – is stock 'shock' stings and exactly the same kind of forgettable arrangement featured in many other films of this nature. The two monsters are fairly effective, and a welcome relief from the CGI that mars so many bigger budgeted pictures. The Frankenstein monster is very close to imagery described in Mary Shelly's original story, and played with a snarling evil, completely devoid of pathos. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the nature of the criminal's brain he has (once more) inherited, he lacks the eloquence of the original creation and utters some typically coarse expletives during the course of his brief conversations.

Very, very bad I bought this movie in Stockholm for 10 Swedish krowns (1 USD). I don't know if it was worth it. I expect to see a bad movie and yeah I got it. This movie is bad in several ways: First of all it's way too long. Its 1,46 and could easily have been cut down to 1,25 which would have been much better. The beginning of the movie is too slow. We see a lot of non-interesting conversations which the main characters are too bad to deliver. Some of the scenes are "so bad it's funny" but not enough to make this movie that kind of movie. After a long boring time the monsters show up and they look silly. Especially "Frankenstein" looks really silly. I mean; Is that the best you can come up with? The dialogue are worthless, the actors are poor. Sure, the girl is pretty but that doesn't help this movie out. The only thing that makes this movie avoid a number 1 in rating is that this movie has a decent photo, sound and music. Another annoying thing is that it says stuff on the back of the DVD box that isn't in the movie. All in all this movies sucks hard time. The only person who should watch this are guys like me who like "so bad it's fun" movies. For the rest of you guys out there: stay away !!

Hi I kinda liked this movie, so can't understand all the negative reviews I see here. The story context was interesting and the actors all played their parts very well. There was a lot of gore and kills that kept me interested so I gave a score of seven. I believe you watch a film from beginning to the end, then decide if you enjoyed or not. Jacey says peace out.

Perfectly acceptable throwback of a picture with more traditional Universal inspired monsters. The film has a good script, good acting for the most part, and does wonders in the set design, makeup and gore effects for a low budget feature. Damien Leone shows he's capable as a director, though the film could have benefitted from some tighter editing. It's too long at almost 2 hours, and could have been a topnotch, better paced movie at 90 minutes. Also, with the budget restraints we don't get enough wide shots, which gives the film a bit of a claustrophobic feel. Still, I'm going to check out the director's other films.

There is a certain ambition in this movie in joining two classic monsters originally played by the legendary Boris Karloff but sadly; things are far from fulfilled. The movie was made with a minimum budget and it seems between friends. Acting is not that bad and some gore effects are OK; but it takes too long to start; with many long explanations about medicine and religion that become boring after a while. When the two monsters collide; it last for about a minute or two and it is not a particularly interesting fight; plus both monster are so hideous that you do not really care who wins or lose. It is pity writers and directors did not considered the original movies or novels and gave more interesting personality to the creatures. In brief; do not lose your time.
