Monstrosity or The Atomic Brain




Monstrosity or The Atomic Brain is a 1963 sci-fi/horror movie in black and white. Monstrosity film has two titles, because the TV release called it "The Atomic Brain". It was directed by Joseph V. Mascelli, and the stars include Marjorie Eaton, Frank Fowler and Frank Gerstle. 

Doctor Otto Frank is a mad scientist working on experiments with brains just to make a rich elderly woman named Mrs March look beautiful. A few young women have travelled to the United States to work in a large house but it's the same house with Mrs March and mad scientist! There are some strange characters including a wolf man, a zombie girl and a cat girl. Parts of the film is quite shocking while others are weird and funny.

The film was made in 1958 but not released until 1963. The lateness was due to lack of funds and it's eventual release caused the script to become outdated! It wasn't very popular with film critics but it was adapted into a musical stage play in 2010 featuring dancing cats. 

I rate this movie a no-brainer 3/10.
