I liked it,but have to say it's one of his lesser efforts,though still a welcome variation on the "any means necessary to restore disfigured daughter/wife/girlfriend" subgenre.
Bava only produced this film... if he had directed it I'm sure it would have been much much better. Still, it is alot of fun and whacked-out sleazy at the same time, and definitely one of the better mad scientist films of the 60's.
