Brief synopsis of 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.

This film was good for it's age but it did get pretty boring and samey. Not as good as I'd hoped.

Great technological gadgets and very effective atmospherics too in what maybe lesser known Hammer but definitely one of better ones. One of Frankenstein classics.
