3D Week

Series 3 | Episode 1 | Flesh For Frankenstein

Flesh for Frankenstein

As part of Channel 4's week of 3D programmes, the 3D version of Paul Morrissey's macabre, wacky 70s take on the Frankenstein story, starring Udo Kier and Joe Dallesandro.

This is the story of Baron Frankenstein's desire to create a super-race of humans by making the perfect man and woman from bits of other corpses. Their sole purpose will be to procreate and literally give birth to his dream. He needs a brain to make them function and soon finds what appear to be the perfect victims.

Credits: Joe Dallesandro, Monique Van Vooren, Udo Keir In Flesh for Frankenstein, Produced by Andrew Braunsberg, A Film Written and Directed by Paul Morrissey

  1. Well suprise, surprise - many on this board didn't see it either. Maybe something to do with the "3-D glasses industry" that Channel 4 have fueled on ebay right now.

  2. Missed this too, as was still struggling to find some ColoCode glasses and didn't figure a recording would be very effective. Judging by "Friday the 13th", which was very impressive, then I think it would have been very effective. How about a further week in 3D with this one re-broadcast?

  3. I have to say I missed this like every one else, but the clip that was on this site was the most effective 3d of the week along with a a few shots of the queen that worked very well. Friday the 13th was terrible.

  11. I think some of us got confused and thought the film was shown very late on Wednesday (which is in effect early Thursday) instead of being very late on Tuesday (which is in effect Wednesday). Could you please show the film again? Certainly the ColorCode system is much better than any previous 3-D attempts on television, the original colour is better preserved. I would favour 3-D nights on Film 4. There are many of the original stereoscopic films from the 50s that have recently been restored (i.e. Columbia films) and it would be great to have them ColorCoded and shown on Film 4. I hope this is not an isolated experiment and there is more to come, but please, as other people request, could you show it again? and if it is that late, could you show it over the weekend? Also, this film was not a Red/Blue Anaglyph film as some poster says, this was a polarised film, single strip polarised if I am not mistaken and I have seen the polarised print at the NFT and the effects are very good.

  15. Some of the programmes will also be available in 3D on 4OD, but unfortunately not Flesh For Frankenstein. The 3D effect will not be as strong, but you should still be able to get some of the 3D effect. Don't worry if you haven't got any glasses - the programmes will still be watchable without them.

  16. PLEASE re-show some more 3d stuff!!! I forgot it was on. tried to watch this last night and on my big plasma was actually pretty watchable quality despite the fairly poor plot & acting, but on too late to watch it all. & couldn't record it as pvr not working.

  18. It was an okay film, but it's a pitty that the 3D effect had alot of ghosting in parts (it's an old Red/Blue Anaglyph film being converted into Colorcode 3D so i'll let you off, lol!!)

  21. Well put Wolfone! It's so annoying to find this on so late, and then not repeated. I noticed there are plenty of 3D programmes on about the Queen in primetime slots (and repeated throughout the week) but as these personally don't interest me I was looking forward to seeing the horror films etc. Come on Channel 4!

  24. What a stupid bloody time to put this film on! Do you really mean to penalise people who would like to see it but have got to go to work the following day? Unfortunately this seems to be happening an awful lot over all channels and I know the content of the movie may mean that an earlier showing my be deemed inapropriate but what about showing the same film at the weekend or maybe on on Film4 in 3D again? Guess it'll mean frustration ...and an early night yet again!
