Revenge Of Frankenstein

When Dr. Frankenstein escapes the guillotine he returns to his sepulchral experiments, starting over with fresh body parts and assisted by a hunchbacked dwarf. Running a clinic for the wealthy, he secretly creates another creature from various body parts and places the brain of his hunchbacked assistant in the skull. After an accident, the creature's brain is damaged, setting off a series of violent and unfortunate events. A better than average sequel to THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN from England's revered Hammer Studios. The next in the series was THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN.

    Hammer's first sequel to The Curse of Frankenstein has the baron (Peter Cushing) rescued from execution, changing his name to Dr Stein and continuing his body-part experiments in a charity hospital. The usual first-rate performances, excellent production values and gothic atmosphere are permeated by a macabre sense of humour in this superior spine-chiller that's crisply directed, as ever, by studio regular Terence Fisher. The unexpectedly light-hearted moments neatly counterpoint the more horrific elements, including hints of cannibalism.

    Good Quality Hammer

    Peter Cuching was great playng the part of Barron Frankenstein. For a 1958 film the quality is superb. It is one of the most lively of the Hammer Horrors and full of exitment.
