The "up to his armpits" in the description makes this sound more comedic than it is. A very solid horrific premise come to life.
The special effects were good. This could have been wrapped up in an hour on some anthology series like Night Gallery, Hammer's House of Horror, etc. . . Back in the days when you watched an hour show and you were getting a good chunk of that hour watching the show and not a rushed product with endless advertisements with the show almost as an after thought.
Eh. . . Its pretty boring, actually.
This was a very fun and believable (in terms of the characters and performances) film. I really enjoyed it though it did drag a little bit. But nonetheless there's plenty to enjoy here. Recommendeded.
You do really get the feeling of 'how many new eyes does my kid need'. Unlike most horror this time there's good suspense about finding new victims for the doctor rather than solely the ending but the Frankenstein's daughter and her zombie eyeless crew ending is rather fun.
