Review:

If any movie could be described as a “Jack of all trades, master of none,” it would be this one. Focused too much on attempting to mash its different B-movie genres together, it becomes an incoherent mess, with Tim Curry’s interpretation of Victor Frankenstein as its sole saving grace. It’s popular for a reason, I just don’t know what that reason is. Perhaps it’s better on stage?
