1313 FRANKENQUEEN

Cinemavixion Review

David DeCoteau's "1313: Frankenqueen" plunges into the dark side of cosmetic surgery, offering a B-movie horror experience that leans heavily into its campy premise. The film follows five young men who volunteer as subjects for Dr. Victoria Franks' experimental procedures. What begins as a luxurious retreat at her Malibu estate quickly devolves into a desperate fight for survival as the surgeon reveals her sinister and lethal intentions. While the plot might tread familiar ground in the mad scientist subgenre, the execution delivers a straightforward, albeit low-budget, thriller. "1313: Frankenqueen" is unlikely to win critical acclaim, but for fans of direct-to-video horror seeking a creature feature with a twist, it offers a diverting, if forgettable, watch.
