This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Intended to be a comedy, horror flick...you may have to be the judge yourself to see if this movie rocks or sinks like a rock. The plot sounds like it has the promise of being funny; an overly ambitious record producer Bernie Stein (Barry Feterman) hoodwinks a nephew scientist Frankie (Jayson Spense) into constructing the world's greatest entertainer. We say constructing...stitching a superstar out of stolen body parts from late and great rock 'n' rollers like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley. We're talking, head to feet and all in between like brains, hands and even...penis. Drug addled roadie Iggy (Hiram Jacob Segarra) does a good job stealing bits and pieces of body part, but by accident grabs a vital organ from Liberace. This stitched monstrosity named "King" (Graig Guggenheim) is going to be hard to train and control.Brian O'Hara directs and shares in the writing of this rated R feature and I would not recommend viewing by small children. Lots of vulgar language and situations. A very small budget that allows way too many low class and gay jokes. If you happen to really love Rock 'n' Roll, you may find this too irreverent. Have you ever tried to stop looking at a train wreck?

A great story ruined by vulgar sex jokes and homophobia. I thought this would be a funny movie. The Frankenstein monster being like Elvis Presley. But instead it was just sick and stupid. It was like people who wrote The Hangover wrote a Frankenstein movie. And The Hangover is not funny it is just garbage. And this is just garbage. There are a lot films basest on Frankenstein That are the greatest horror movies ever Frankenstein (1931) The cures of Frankenstein Lady Frankenstein thous are some of the best horror movies ever. The book Frankenstein is one of the best horror books ever. But not this. This is just Pooh pooh. Horror comedy is o.k when it is funny. But this not fun it is just gross and stupid.

A lot about "Rock n Roll Frankenstein" is annoying, starting with the simple fact that if you only have a one joke movie, the joke better not be beaten to death, and must be developed beyond the original idea. Unfortunately neither of the above apply to "Rock n Roll Frankenstein". The acting is amateurish, and the Elvis looks and sounds nothing like even the worst Elvis impersonator. Endless drug references quickly become tiresome, the homosexuality angle becomes extremely redundant, and the word f--k outrageously overused as supposed dialog. Even if you are into weird films, this is one to avoid. Everything seems forced, and comes off as though they realized that beyond the one joke, this was going nowhere. - MERK

This has to be seen to be believed.A nutbag mixture of all good things in exploitation films.There's this guy named Frankie Stein who has made a perfect rockstar minus one part... his schlong belongs to liberace! (it was supposed to be Jim Morrison's love tool but junkie roadie made a mistake)That makes the monster a DIFFERENT kind of monster!There are really good songs (I'm a Monster, Electro-shock) and it's never boring (a rarity in this kind of movies i think)And where else could you hear Elvis singing... i got a boner blues ?Thank you and good night.. the King has left the building.
