The story of Frankenstein has long been fodder for Hollywood, with the tale of a scientist playing God by bringing life to a creature pieced together from body parts proving to be an irresistible draw for generations of filmmakers. It has served as the basis that countless films have utilized its timeless themes of the pursuit of science versus ethical responsibility, prejudice, and the consequences of rejection in unique and creative ways. Some have done so successfully, like the original 1931 Frankenstein and Frankenstein-inspired works like Poor Things, while others have missed the mark, such as I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and Blackenstein. Falling into the latter category is 1965’s Frankenstein Conquers the World, aka Frankenstein vs. Baragon, which reimagines the monster in mutated form within a kaiju framework to create a B-movie monsterpiece that, somehow, still captures the spirit of Frankenstein.
