Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Youngest, Most Insane Frankenstein Of Them All!
The character of Victor Frankenstein in "Horror of Frankenstein" is the youngest, handsomest and evilest one I've seen. Victor will do anything to get what he wants, even kill his own father and best friend. This one has a reprobate mind; he is very dispassionate about the plights of others. He displays a flippant, contrite attitude whenever a "friend" is harmed. When questioned by authority, his sarcastic remarks are often humorous. Victor kills anyone who might reveal his secret hobby ... Read More
Rating: - He was quite a nice monster, really.
This is late Hammer, so the baron does a lot of his anatomical study in the bedroom. Still, it looks and feels a lot like classic early Hammer even if it's a spoof. Very familiar Hammer sets. Very knowing and witty script and direction. Great colors. Gorgeous but clueless Veronica Carlson is the only female in the movie whose anatomical parts seem not to interest the baron in the least. The ending is a hoot. This one is so different from other Hammer Frankensteins that it may take a few viewings ... Read More
Rating: - A WORTHY AND DIFFERENT HAMMER FRANKENSTEIN FILM! 3 1/2 STARS!
Not nearly as bad as it is said to be, this Hammer Frankenstein film has plenty to enjoy! There is cleavage, Kate O'Mara, Veronica Carlson,(did I say Cleavage?)blood, good FX, atmosphere and it's all done with a tongue and cheek approach that I found refreshing. It works as a straight horror film, but there are some funny little "digs" at the series here and there.
Hammer made quite a few Frankenstein films and even though Cushing and Lee are missing, this is far from the worst. The DVD has ... Read More
Rating: - King Hearts and Cadavers
"Tomorrow we shall initiate a new series of experiments. Something harmless, like splitting the atom, perhaps?"
Dispensing with Peter Cushing's services and intended to revitalize the series with a younger generation of stars as the studio headed into the uncertain 70s, The Horror of Frankenstein instead found itself on the wrong half of a double-bill with the inferior Scars of Dracula and much detested by many Hammer purists for its tone. Which is a great shame, because this is one of Hammer's ... Read More
Rating:  - Atypical of Hammer, but still a super film!
I want to say, up front, that this is a fine gothic Frankenstein film. It's actually based upon a fairly straightforward Frankenstein theme, (semi-mad doctor wants to make monster, the brain is damaged, and the monster kills people), but Dr. Victor Frankenstein (very credibly played by Ralph Bates) comes off as a classic, if cultured, psychopath. He cares naught in the slightest about the sanctity of human life, as long as his vision of creating a man (from used parts) is fulfilled.
Here are the ... Read More
