Blackenstein

A scholarly web community hosting Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, an Academic Wiki has an entry about this movie: "Although Blackenstein had the potential to explore and amplify one of the more politically pervasive themes within Mary Shelley’s novel, many scholars and critics consider it to be a missed opportunity. By employing black-power fashion and soul music, the film’s over-the-top exploitative tactics made it little more than absurd."decorative IMDb
