    Considered by Hammer aficionados to be the best Frankenstein made by the House of Horror, this offbeat entry from veteran director Terence Fisher finds the good doctor experimenting with soul transference. Re-animating the corpse of a young girl — played by Susan Denberg, once Playboy's Miss August — the ever-dependable Peter Cushing (in his fourth outing as the mad doctor) gives it the soul of her boyfriend, who was wrongly guillotined for murder. The chilling result is a vengeful creature luring his/her enemies to remote places with the promise of romance and delivering death instead. Fisher's neat balance of fairy-tale fear, psychological horror, murky sexuality and engaging lunacy makes this a fine addition to the genre.

  • Crude and gory farrago, with the central laboratory sequence apparently excised at the last moment.

    More erotica than horror

    This movie was quite chilling when it was originally released but looking at it today it seems more like a movie whose main intent was to exploit a 16 year old Nastassia Kinski.

    She has scenes that include: simulated sex, simulating an orgasm (which was supposed to be a nightmare - yeh right) and there is the famous full frontal nude scene at the end.

    Some of the acting is woeful. Widmark looks like a total amateur in this. Apparently he was dissatisfied with the film and no wonder with acting ability like his on display! It has been reported that he actually punched Kinski in the chops to make her cry for one of the scenes in which she was having trouble shedding tears for.

    He comes out with these lines:

    '98% of so called satanist are nothing but pathetic freaks who get their kicks out of dancing naked in freezing church yards and use the devil as an excuse for getting some sex, but then there is that other 2%, I'm not so sure about them.'

    But I am sure this film can be attributed to the 98% of dubious film makers who want to get some eroticism past the censors and will use any means they see justifiable.

    The only two things that really stand out from this flick are a nude teenage Nasstasia Kinski and some poor scenes of cheesy over- acting.
