Frankenstein '80

HorrorSci-Fi89 min

A mad scientist creates a patchwork monster called Mosaico, then loses control when the creature breaks out of the laboratory and begins hunting women. This 1972 Italian riff on Frankenstein moves the story into a modern world of hospital rooms, surgery, and organ transplants, with the murders unfolding far from any Gothic castle. John Richardson and Gordon Mitchell are among the cast surrounding the doctor and his experiment, while Mosaico looms over the film as a blunt, unnatural creation stitched together in secret. The setup stays focused on the lab, the doctor’s double life, and the violence that follows once the monster is loose.
