La maldición de Frankenstein

La Maldicion de Frankenstein (also known as "The Curse of Frankenstein," "The Rites of Frankenstein," and "The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein") is a Spanish-Portuguese horror/sci-fi movie, written and directed by Jesus Franco and starring Alberto Dalbes, Dennis Price, Howard Vernon, Beatriz Savon and Anne Libert. It was one of 12 movies directed in 1973 by the prolific Franco, who also appears on-screen. Two versions of the movie were released- an unedited cut made for the international market, and an edited version (cutting much of the gore and nudity) that was created for the censored movie theaters of Franco-era Spain.

Plot
Dr. Frankenstein (Price) and his assistant Morpho (Franco, in a cameo) finally succeed in creating and reanimating a human body. Unfortunately, their celebration is quickly cut short when they are murdered by Melissa (Libert). Melissa takes the Monster (Fernando Bilbao) back to her master, the evil wizard Cagliostro (Vernon), who plans to use the Monster to kidnap beautiful women and bring them back to Cagliostro's lair. Cagliostro kills the women and uses their body parts to create a "perfect female," which he intends to mate with the Monster to create a master race of perfect humans.

Vera Frankenstein (Savon), the Doctor's daughter, swears revenge. She intercepts the Monster mid-kidnap and offers up herself instead. But when the Monster hauls her back to Cagliostro's castle, the furious wizard uses his hypnotic powers to brainwash Vera and turn her into his new lab assistant. Together, Cagliostro, Melissa, and Vera create and reanimate the "perfect female."

Luckily for Vera, Doctor Seward (Dalbes) is also set on avenging Frankenstein's murder (even after Vera snubs his offer!). With the help of Vera's assistant and the dead, briefly reanimated Doctor himself, Seward tracks down Cagliostro as the latter prepares for the big "mating" ceremony. The Monster, urged on by Seward, turns against Cagliostro and Melissa before being shot to death by the police.

Cagliostro manages to escape in a carriage, with a new minion (Lina Romay) by his side.
