Bikini Frankenstein
Bikini Frankenstein is a 2010 American made for cable erotic film directed by Fred Olen Ray. It is based on the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Bikini Frankenstein depicts Dr. Frankenstein losing his job after having sex with his science student Debbie Sloane. He travels back to his native Transylvania where he successfully revives the body of Eve, using electricity. After showing off his successful experiment to colleagues in America, Eve later explodes; leading Dr. Frankenstein to proclaim he will work further on his experiments.
The film was both written and directed by Ray, and produced by Retromedia Entertainment. It was shown on Cinemax before being distributed DVD format. The New Annotated Frankenstein called it "soft porn", and Postnaturalism: Frankenstein, Film, and the Anthropotechnical Interface placed it within the genre of horror and sexploitation. The Oklahoma Gazette recommended its readers instead watch Weird Science. A review from JoBlo.com criticized the film's script, but said viewers "might get a chuckle" from watching it.
Plot
Bikini Frankenstein opens with credits stating, "Based on the classic novel by Mary Shelley".Dr. Victor Frankenstein is a professor of science working at an institution called State University. Professor Frankenstein is shown engaging in relations in his classroom with Debbie one of his science students. They are discovered by Professor Frankenstein's rival, Clive, who reports them to the Dean of the university, Professor Van Sloane, and brings Van Sloane to the classroom. Debbie is Van Sloane's daughter, and Professor Van Sloane promptly removes Dr. Frankenstein from his role at the university.
Five years later, Dr. Frankenstein is shown having moved back home to Transylvania, to continue working on his research with his assistant, Ingrid. After sleeping with her, he succeeds in bringing the body of Eve, a deceased woman, back to life using energy from a lightning storm. After Eve is brought back to life, she kisses Ingrid and the two become physical with each other in Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.
Dr. Frankenstein, Eve, and his assistant Ingrid all travel back to America, where Dr. Frankenstein impresses Van Sloane, Dr. Waldman, Dr. Frankenstein's rival Clive, and Claudia, Clive's wife. Dr. Frankenstein originally presents Eve as a sister of Ingrid, in order to for them to become familiar with Eve prior to revealing her true nature as a revived corpse. Dr. Frankenstein leaves for his hotel room to retrieve an object, leaving Eve and Ingrid at Clive's residence. Clive asks Claudia to follow Frankenstein and find out what he is up to, leaving Eve alone with Clive. Clive gives Eve a tour of his residence, and the two fornicate in his office. Claudia meets Dr. Frankenstein at his hotel room and they engage in relations in his room.
Once the group reconvenes their meeting with Eve at Clive's residence, Dr. Frankenstein is met initially with skepticism after revealing the true nature of Eve to the group of assembled onlookers. He provides the death certificate for Eve as a way to verify his scientific claims. Ingrid and Claudia escort Eve to a private room to prepare her for a physical examination. Following an erotic ceremony involving all three women, Eve explodes due to an overdose of excitation. Dr. Frankenstein is undeterred, and proclaims to the group that he will labor further on his experiment at a later date with another deceased body.
