When the crowd becomes a reality. Frankenstein Island is the breeding material (condensed to ninety minutes of madness never ends in themselves) the talent a director too quickly labeled as a filmmaker, low alloy (appropriately renamed to distinguish them from the z-movie cinema elite) that Jerry Warren. With his latest decision to give an ideal location for final acts of the mad Frankenstein and his creature.
