Movie Reviews of The Revenge of Frankenstein

Movie Review: Classic Hammer Horror Flick
Summary: 5 Stars

To me, Peter Cushing is the epitome of Dr. Victor Frankenstein -- suave, cool, sophisticated -- he doesn't let anything stop him from his ultimate goal of bringing life back to his newly-created man, a conglomeration of various body parts and organs from the less fortunate. And if the villagers don't like it, Dr. Frankenstein simply moves on and starts anew. In this movie which takes up where "Curse of Frankenstain" leaves off, we find Dr. Victor surviving his "hanging" at the gallows and begins again as Dr. Stein in a new city. Here, he becomes a highly popular physician who is not well regarded by the city's medical board. By day, he runs his clinic and helps the less fortunate at the charity hospital; and by night, he continues those crazy experiments, hoping to give his badly disfigured servant,Karl, a new body. Taking on an assistant, the doc performs the surgery. Karl seems to be doing nicely until he finds his emotional health beginning to deteriorate and begins to run amok, killing a village girl. When everyone in town finds out who Victor Stein really is, the patients at the hospital beat up the doc. But not to worry, the doctor's assistant makes sure his mentor lives on in a new body all prepared for him. At the end, we find that "Dr. Franck" is now practicing in London...

Summary of The Revenge of Frankenstein

Something goes amiss as the monster turns into a cannibal and must be destroyed.System Requirements:Running Time: 89 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?NR UPC:?043396078734 Manufacturer No:?07873

Death has never stopped anyone from crafting a sequel to a successful film, but Terence Fisher and screenwriter Jimmy Sangster rather ingeniously twist the climactic execution of The Curse of Frankenstein into the opening of The Revenge of Frankenstein. With a cold-blooded flourish that would become his trademark, Frankenstein plots his escape and sends an innocent (a priest, no less) to take his place on the guillotine, leaving himself free to continue his experiments. As the new head of a hospital for the poor, he builds a body for his crippled assistant from parts amputated from his patients, but body battles mind for supremacy and turns the newly ambulatory man into a bloodthirsty cannibal. Once again Fisher makes the most of a constricted budget, turning his poorhouse hospital into a cramped, dank hole and splurging on another colorful laboratory of buzzing devices and a centerpiece tank for his suspended creature. There are few innocents in the Frankenstein films and this is no different: high-society dandies are hypocrites, poorhouse patients thieves and opportunists, and of course the driven doctor is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to achieve his goal. The clever conclusion, which lays the groundwork for the next sequel, was curiously ignored when the third installment finally arrived six years later in The Evil of Frankenstein. --Sean Axmaker
