In a high-tech secret lab, the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein, Irving Frankenstein (Jorge Russek), and his assistant, Dr. Molina (Ruben Aguirre), are experimenting on brain transplants with two women who they had kidnapped. The experiment fails and the women die.
Frankenstein implants the two women with electrodes in their brains making them zombies and releases them to commit carnage. Frankenstein has had failures in his brain transplant experiments on twelve women so far. His aim is to bring back to life his wife, who suffered from brain cancer and is now in a catatonic state.
Frankenstein’s only, somewhat, success was in a brain transplant he did to a hulking zombie he calls Golem. Dr. Frankenstein believes that Golem can be improved by transplanting into him the brain of the famous wrestler, Santo (Santo). He believes that to trap Santo he needs to first kidnap his girlfriend, Alicia Robles (Sasha Montenegro) knowing that Santo will give himself up to save her life.
The over one hundred-year-old Frankenstein has found a formula to restore youth. He has used it on himself and on Dr. Molina. He enlists the aid of two other doctors to help him in his evil plans by offering to make them young again. They agree.
The police assign two female detectives to investigate the case and Santo brings in his friend Blue Demon (Alejandro Moreno). The women end up assisting Santo and Blue Demon in trying to track down Dr. Frankenstein and his enclave of evil associates.
“Santo and Blue Demon vs Dr. Frankenstein” AKA “Santo y Blue Demon contra el doctor Frankenstein” was released in 1974 and was directed by Miguel M. Delgado. It is a Mexican science fiction horror movie and a luchador film.
This was better than some of the other Santo films done in the early seventies but nowhere near as entertaining as the films he did in the sixties. Instead of fun and entertaining the newer films tried to go for glitzy and polished. I am fond of the Mexican horror and science fiction films where they invented their own style of horror rather than the newer ones that tried to copy Hammer Films. This one adds a touch of James Bond as well which adds to the plastic feel of the film.
