Santo vs. Frankenstein’s Daughter (1972)

 

So the version of this movie I caught was a dubbed one on El Rey. El Rey plays a lot of older B movies. This film was originally filmed in Spanish and the main character Santo is the classic Mexican wrestler. In real life he was also a wrestler as well. I know that the mask of the wrestler is very important to the person’s image, but I wish they would have showed him without it. This movie would have been much better if it would have showed more of the aging/antiaging process more. I know that at the time this movie was made special effects were still developing, but other movies even from earlier time periods showed transformations better. The one thing that bugged me was how much they had the women scream at everything. I know that females during this time were still viewed as the damsel in distress, but they just seemed to be afraid of everything. 3 out of 5 stars or a C.
