TORTICOLA. VS. FRANKENSBERG 1952 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Extremely rare short film made in France.

This is in French without subtitles. It's not too difficult to figure out what is going on, but this has to be one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen. I call it the French equivalent of the Japanese film entitled "Horror Of Malformed Men".

A mad doctor has created a Frankenstein-like monster that roams the countryside and then comes back to the castle of Dr. Frankensberg. A young woman gets lost and. comes to the castle and it appears the doctor is going to experiment on her as well.

The monster loves the woman and stops the doctor and his assistant from doing their evil work. There are some very odd things in this movie including a housekeeper who can disappear, a man whose brain has been replaced with a cat and a cat that talks since he has a human brain.

The quality isn't the greatest, but it's very watchable and, hell, it's rare so it shouldn;t matter too much anyway. It runs 33 minutes and is divided into 3 chapters, and the ending is a bizarre head scratcher.

Info on this is hard to find, but if you like super rare horror, this is for you.
