The Beverly Theater brings Paul Morrissey's cult classic horror film to life in glorious 3D. Originally released in 1973 and produced by Andy Warhol, this campy Italian-made reimagining of the Frankenstein story pushes boundaries with its over-the-top gore, dark humor, and transgressive themes. The film stars Udo Kier as the obsessive Baron Frankenstein, who attempts to create a perfect Serbian master race in his laboratory while navigating a twisted web of desire and dysfunction with his wife, played by Monique van Vooren.
This screening showcases the film in its intended 3D format, a rarity that adds an extra dimension to the movie's notorious visceral effects. The intimate 150-seat theater at the Beverly provides an ideal setting for this cult viewing experience, where the film's outrageous blend of art-house sensibility and exploitation cinema can be appreciated on the big screen. It's a chance to see why this controversial film has maintained its reputation as one of the most audacious horror films of the 1970s.
