A Movie Review by Magdalen Aithne Arkwright
What is a poor Igor to do when he wants to be an inventor and no one will let him? Well, a few obstacles are taken care of when Igor's evil scientist is accidentally blown up. Igor is still forbidden to invent, but Igor has been inventing in secret and now he's ready to create life for the evil invention competition coming up. Unfortunately, this life is not evil - her "evil bone" wasn't activated. Despite all Igor's efforts, Eva just isn't evil, she's an actress.

This MGM movie is about a character who doesn't fit in his role, changes the world, and solves their evil problem. This film underrates life and is often vulgar and leaves the viewer disgusted. Presented in such a way as to be amusing, this complicated philosophy of life and good and evil has potential to trap its unsuspecting viewers. The plot is riddled with ugly being beautiful and beautiful being ugly. While "good in an ugly disguise" is not an uncommon theme and can be handled with grace and proper values, this movie fails to do just that.
The setting is very dark and could be scary to small children - indeed, even to older children. Some of the characters are horrid to the point of immoral. Even though characters that are at first thought to be the good guys of the story have deplorable personalities. The plot is forked, the message twisted, and the drama poorly written.
Rating: D (not recommended)
Points: 2
Satisfaction: 0
