NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
azathothpwiggins Trudy Morton (Sandra Knight) has been having bad dreams, in which she runs around w/ buck teeth and poodles for eyebrows. Oh no! Evidence mounts that may mean that her dreams are real! Meanwhile, Trudy's kindly uncle, Professor Carter Morton has been in his basement lab, working on a cure for all disease. His assistant, Oliver Frank (Donald Murphy- SWAMP GIRL) seems to have plans of his own. Plans having nothing to do w/ any miracle cure. He needs a human head, dammit! A head! Enter Elsu (Wolfe Barzell), Frank's henchman, who secures the various parts he needs. Sandra just might be a subject of Frank's inhuman experiments. That would explain the whole big teeth / eyebrow thing, along w/ her new hard-boiled eggs for eyes! Trudy's swinging boyfriend, Johnny Bruder (John Ashley- MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND) remains unconvinced, but helps Trudy anyway. Murder ensues, when Frank grows impatient for body parts. Will Trudy ever figure out what Frank is up to, or shall bug-eyed, snaggletooth be her "forever" look? Annnd, just what is that thing that just sat up in the lab? It strongly resembles a swaddled potato in a rubber jogging suit w/ a toaster on each foot! Dear lord! Whatever it is, it's on a spontaneous spree of spud-ly spunk! Obviously, it's time for a pool party! Whoo! Rock on! Is this a musical? Where the hell is that monster?! FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER hurts real good! Hyper-schlock such as this is the reason I live and breathe...
Woodyanders Frankenstein's evil and determined grandson Oliver Frank (a spirited and sinister performance by Donald Murphy) works with the kindly Prof. Carter Morton (a winningly sincere turn by Felix Locher) to develop a new drug. Frank uses Carter's niece Trudy (an appealing portrayal by the fetching Sandra Knight) as a guinea pig to test the drug and transforms Trudy's spunky best gal pal Suzie Lawler (a delightfully sassy Sally Todd) into a hideously disfigured monster. This movie gains considerable goofy charm from the fact that both director Richard E. Cunha and screenwriter H.E. Barrie treat the dippy premise with utmost seriousness, thereby ensuring that there's a wealth of unintentional belly laughs to be savored herein. Better yet, the monster that's supposed to be female is obviously played by a bulky guy, which makes the unsightly beast that much more grotesque. The cast have a ball with their colorful roles: John Ashley as smooth dude Johnny Bruder, Harold Lloyd Jr. as amiable hepcat Don, Wolfe Barzell as Frank's flaky assistant Elsu, and Robert Dix as the skeptical Detective Bill Dillon. As a neat-o extra plus, the Page Cavanaugh perform a couple of swingin' songs at a groovy backyard shindig. In addition, this movie warrants extra praise for delivering a few surprisingly rough moments of violence that are fairly bloody and brutal for a 50's fright feature. Both the robust over-dramatic score by Nicholas Carras and Meredith M. Nicholson's crisp black and white cinematography are up to par. A campy hoot.
tl12 Everyone remembers "their first time" of doing many things. So when people ask me why this movie is in my collection, I just tell them "It was my first". It was the first time I ever saw a horror movie in a theater. It was a double bill with Frankenstein's Daughter and The Man Without a Body. My cousin who was six years older than me took me. I was 8 or 9 I think.I was absolutely terrified. I had just barely enough guts not to put my hands over my eyes and show my cousin what a coward I was. I never saw the movie again till I was in my 50's. Hmmm, no so scary but when I let my imagination go I could still remember the night in the theater and how I felt.The best advice I can give others on this film is that my 5 was generous. It is, however, not just bad. It is wonderfully bad! If you want to have your own Mystery Science Theater, invite some friends over, serve plenty of drinks and laugh your way though the film. But watch out that there are no little ones in the room because they may react as I did in the theater all those years ago.
vampi1960 as a kid in Paterson new jersey i loved channel 11's chiller theater,the claymation hand coming out of the grave grabbing the letters that spell chiller,anyway Frankensteins daughter is a wonderfully cheesy b-movie that scared me as a kid,but now its one of my favorite cheesy monster films.the monster is supposed to be a woman but looks like a man monster with lipstick.the spooky music was used in missile to the moon the same year which was a remake of the 3d movie cat-women of the moon.harold Lloyd Jr plays a descendant of Dr Frankenstein,so he decides to create a monster in the basement of his doctor employer,whose niece(Sandra knight)is unknowingly used as a guinea pig for Dr franks experiments.she turns into a bug eyed big toothed monster that looks amazingly like one of the she demons.no surprise it was made at the same studio as she demons,Astor films. john Ashley the king of b-movies from the 50's and later star of the Filipino monster movies plays the girls boyfriend.i actually thought this was better then the usual b-movies.Sandra knight went on to star in the terror with her future husband jack Nicholson,and the legendary Boris karloff.7 out of 10.a good bad movie.
