I bought this movie as a pack of 50 Chilling Horror movies. I thought this movie was making perfect sense and then the ending was so sudden. Did I see that right? Was Lady F murdered by her lover at the very end during sex? Why did he murder her? Was that really the end?
What in the world? I wonder if the copy I got is missing the ending as there was no explanation and there was no "The End" on the screen at the end. The movie just ended extremely abruptly making me think we're missing the actual ending.
HA! I know, that ending was so out of left field, the castle is on fire and they're doing it, classic, and didnt that happen in an episode of wings? does anybody watch wings?, and then the dude starts choking her, kinky, anyway the thing to keep in mind with the ending is that this movie was made in italy, and italian horror movies almost always have endings that make either hardly any sense or no sense whatsoever, so this one is just following suite, and then there was the movie ending abruply with no "The End" or credits, seemingly in the middle of a scene, i wouldnt be surprised at all to hear there was some extra footage after that because that was weird, but reading reviews online, it appears that every version of this movie ends that same way, so if there is extra footage, apparently nobody knows where to find it or cares enough to look, but at least the trailor survived, so we know the answer to the question "Who is this irresitable creature with an insatiable love for the dead?" Nice
shareI intrepret the ending as: the monster always kills its creator. It's inenvitable.
shareyeah, y'know that's not bad, that might very well be what they were shooting for, i think the confusion arises from how abrupt the ending was, there's no transition, he just starts choking her, although she could have been into it
shareI think the answer can be found in the origin of the creature/lover's existence. Tania suggested to Charles that she could love him if his brain were in the muscular body of the handsome, but slow witted stableboy Thomas. Charles reluctantly agreed to kill Thomas, but felt very guilty about it. When the two are making love on the laboratory floor, Tania makes a Freudian slip and refers to her lover as " Thomas", revealing her true passion, and the jealous Charles in Thomas' body decides to kill her, partly out of self disgust at his role in the murder of Thomas,and partly in a jealous rage.
And when he crossed the bridge, the phantoms came to meet him
I think it was just one last chance to get a look at Lady Frenkenstein. They thought it would be a really incredible scene, the Lady making love one last time while the castle burns around her.
I think that's how a lot of these Italian horror movies were made. If they got an idea for a scene they liked, they'd just put it in there without worrying much whether it made sense for the characters to act that way. Not unlike how Damon Lindelof must write his movies today.
Odd. A post goes five years dormant and then comes back alive.
I just watched this for the first time. Not bad. Liked it enough to do some googling and it appears the Netflix version is cut. There's an extended version out there. Archive.org has a German version that unfortunately is not dubbed nor captioned. It doesn't even have sound as the contributor was wary of copyright issues. But it has the extra footage.
If you skip to the ending, there is an extra few seconds of the final scene. One from a different camera angle. But the movie ends the same. Abruptly. No credits. It does have one final screen shot with the word "Ende" that the Netflix version does not have.
I am watching this tonight on creepy KOFY movie timeI'll let you know if the ending is any different than stated
shareLet me see if I can explain this. There is the scene where the new monster wants to kill the old one and she wanted him kept alive. Then she changes her mind and says yes, kill him. He then asks her why she changed her mind, says something about her wanting to keep one of them alive, either or, to vindicate her father's memory, or some such thing. I felt like it was at this point that he truly realized what a not nice person she was, and realized no matter what they would not be getting away with this. But as any male would, he wanted to try out that new strong body on her once at least, castle burning or not. I am pretty sure he starts to strangle her as she orgasms, thus getting her off and killing her at the same time. It was a truly warped but fitting way for a movie like this to end.
