Editorial Review: Description: A Frankensteinian twist on Tod Browning's classic FREAKS. THE FREAKMAKER (aka The Mutations) stars Donald Pleasence (Cul-De-Sac, Fantastic Voyage) as Professor Nolter, a college science professor who believes it is man's destiny to survive an uncertain future by evolving into a hybrid plant/human mutation. To test his theories, Nolter supervises the abduction of young co-eds and fuses them with mutant plants he has developed in his laboratory, placing his rejects in a neighboring freak show (which stars such real-life oddities as the Alligator Lady, the Frog Boy, the Human Pretzel, the Monkey Woman, the Human Pincushion and the unforgettable "Popeye". Not available on video since the 1980s, this classic also features such cult favorites as Academy Award nominee Tom Baker (Nicholas and Alexandra), Julie Ege (Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires), Jill Haworth (Tower of Evil), Brad Harris (Samson), and the extraordinary Michael Dunn (Ship of Fools, The Wild Wild West's "Dr. Loveless") in one of his final film roles. As with all Subversive releases, THE FREAKMAKER has been painstakingly restored and supplemented with numerous extras for its DVD premier. "With its cast of 'human oddities', bizarre makeup effects and avant-garde music score, THE FREAKMAKER is a hothouse of horror that will grow on you!" –Tim Lucas, VIDEO WATCHDOG magazine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The MutationsKnown by another name in the UK this is a gloriously mish mash of Browings "The Freaks" remade in the early 70's. It can't be rated higher but is still worth a look with some of the daftest monsters ever and enough nudity and flared trousers to make up for the plot holes. Insane in the best possible way...it's a personal favourite any a truly top 10 guilty pleasure Rating: - For Ffffff...flytrap's Sake!Having read so many other reviews, all I can say is "Sit back and enjoy the ride." This is enjoyable camp to say the least, including a wonderful "Woe is me" performance from Tom Baker, later to bring Doctor Who to the cult status it enjoys now. (Rightly so but that's another story). This is essential viewing if not buying. Choose one but I bet you'll take the other too. Enjoy! Rating:  - Even SHE-FREAK was better...and it sucked."Good" or "original" really aren't words you would use to describe THE FREAKMAKER. Unless of course by "good" you mean "boring" and by "original" you mean "made me sleepy". Sixty percent FREAKS, 32% FRANKENSTEIN and 41% THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, THE FREAKMAKER is the painfully slow and uneventful and lame and silly and under acted story of a collage professor who via the use of stock footage changes plants into large clunky plastic freak plants. If that's not enough excitement for ...

And they always seem to share the same philosophy of in terms of the `need to break a few eggs to make an omelet', or, the need of the many outweighs the need of the few as an impetus for their actions...The Freakmaker (1973), aka The Mutations, co-written by Edward Mann (Island of Terror, Hot Pants Holiday) and Robert D.
