When I started watching this, I wasn't sure whether it was the genuine article, or a well-made parody of campy 60s films. Just the name, "Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster", reeks of a bizarre 60s film milking the Frankenstein name for all they could. Somehow they don't even get that right, and 'Frankenstein' is not Frankenstein's monster, but a malfunctioning android called Frank who is compared to Frankenstein's monster!The plot will be familiar to anyone (Oh no, X is kidnapping our women, and we can't stop them!), but particularly those who have seen Devil Girl From Mars (1954), which this film rips off. Aliens from a planet devastated by war, led by a seductive villain, come in search of breeding stock. You can't make this up any more, because it's so clicheed it is embedded into our collective culture!Finally, Frank has a fight with the close-up camera angle monster on the ship and everything on the ship is destroyed, leaving everyone else to ponder what just happened, and how this idea ever got any funding. It's a film that is fundamentally broken, yet still somehow entertaining. Worth watching, but not for the reasons people usually watch films.

Terrible make up, the space ship is about a 12 foot round dome and no less than 25 people and aliens fit inside.The scooter scenes where James Karen "races" here and there at 12 MPH are hysterical.The music, well not sure how it works with the movie. The Hot girls well, they didn't put up much of a fight when the aliens abduct them.All all this together and it is a great, classic sci-fi movie.The "star", James Karen, was also the spokesperson for Pathmark Supermarkets for many, many years during Pathmarks heyday as a supermarket power on the east coast.This is a must see sci-fi movie.

I saw this movie only once, in a flea-pit, second-run cinema in the mid-Sixties and have not seen it since. And yet I STILL remember it - such is the POWER of this HILARIOUS monstrosity (pun intended). It was then sporting the title: Duel Of The Spacemonsters.I TRULY believe this film ECLIPSES the legendarily awful Plan Nine From Outer Space.The moment that made it for me was when the "robot" loses half his head, revealing his brain to comprise of VALVES and the printed-circuit-board from a pocket transistor radio! I was only twelve at the time, and I would later become an electronic service engineer, but even at TWELVE, I knew what a tranny's PCB looked like. This one still clearly had the TUNING DIAL on it!I believe some of the music was created by the great Bob Crewe - just THREE years before he would supply the songs for Barbarella! Despite giving this movie just one out of ten, I URGE you to see it if you can FIND it - if only so you can say you've seen THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!

Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (1965) 1/2 (out of 4) An astronaut named Frank crashes his rocket in Purto Rico. At the same time a group of aliens are landing there looking for beautiful women to mate with. Soon Frank, now a deformed monster, must fight their monster dragon. This was one of my most wanted films on DVD because I had been wanting to see this film since a kid but it turned out to be a real disaster. The film has always had a reputation of being bad but I was hoping it would at least give me a few campy laughs but sadly that didn't happen. The film was just downright bad and not in a good way. The monster at least looks interesting and that's the only reason this thing doesn't get a lower rating.
