There is a certain ambition in this movie in joining two classic monsters originally played by the legendary Boris Karloff but sadly; things are far from fulfilled. The movie was made with a minimum budget and it seems between friends. Acting is not that bad and some gore effects are OK; but it takes too long to start; with many long explanations about medicine and religion that become boring after a while. When the two monsters collide; it last for about a minute or two and it is not a particularly interesting fight; plus both monster are so hideous that you do not really care who wins or lose. It is pity writers and directors did not considered the original movies or novels and gave more interesting personality to the creatures.In brief; do not lose your time.

Ever since Universal were unable to resist matching two of their biggest horror names in 'Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (1942)', there has been a periodic fascination with uniting well-known monsters over the years. And in many of these meetings, the battle we are all waiting to see is saved until the last ten minutes. Such is the case here. Sadly, when it comes, the battle is little more than a punch-up in a darkened room.Monster mash-ups like this are usually designed not to be taken too seriously. The problem with this is that, at six minutes shy of two hours, 'Frankenstein vs The Mummy' is just too long. The actors are competent, but the characters are underwritten and impossible to be concerned about. Instead of personalities, their function is to react to the alleged horror around them. The possible exception is Doctor Walton, played by a marvellously idiosyncratic actor with the wonderful name Boomer Tibbs.The horror, sadly, is fairly negligible, despite some impressive effects. The music – a hugely underrated way of sustaining an atmosphere, in my view – is stock 'shock' stings and exactly the same kind of forgettable arrangement featured in many other films of this nature.The two monsters are fairly effective, and a welcome relief from the CGI that mars so many bigger budgeted pictures. The Frankenstein monster is very close to imagery described in Mary Shelly's original story, and played with a snarling evil, completely devoid of pathos. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the nature of the criminal's brain he has (once more) inherited, he lacks the eloquence of the original creation and utters some typically coarse expletives during the course of his brief conversations.

Frankenstein vs. The Mummy is far from being as great as it could have been, but it still manages to be one hell of a fun way to kill a Friday night!Victor Frankenstein is attempting to create life, but ends up using the brain of his evil assistant Carter, creating a violent psychopathic monster. Meanwhile, a young Egyptology professor discovers an ancient Mummy that is soon walking around, leaving a bloody trail in it's path.Those expecting a non-stop monster brawl will be disappointed, as the two titular creatures don't face-off till the film's finale. However, the journey there is refreshingly well-made, acted and written! The make-up for the monsters is top-notch and we really do get to feel for our human protagonists. If I have any complaints, it's that I find the film overly long and it drags a fair bit during the first act. Also, Frankenstein's monster was WAY too unsympathetic. Nonetheless, I totally recommend this flick to any monster fans who need a bit more of Frankenstein's patchwork experiments or mummified ghouls in their lives.

Frankenstein vs. The Mummy is an extremely low budget horror film. It is not scary at all just silly/ cheap gore and effects. The 2 monsters have a very brief fight at the end. Overall terrible D movie (not even B or C). I expected there to be at least 3 or 4 confrontations between Frankenstein & The Mummy. Avoid this movie like the plague!!! Terrible dialogue and script written by a 2nd or 3rd grader! Save your money!! The mummy effects and Frankenstein mask didn't look good. This mockbuster is nothing more than a desperate cash grab attempt. I suggest watching The Mummy trilogy, I,Frankenstein or a Universal Studios monster movie!Bryan
