Movie Info

Hardly the best of Hammer Studios' Frankenstein epics, The Evil of Frankenstein is too much the mixture as before to be truly memorable.

It's only the solid professional acting ability of Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein that gives this pic any credibility.

Might be the worst makeup job in the history of horror films.

Just another Frankenstein movie, there's not anything new or different about this one either. It's actually pretty boring. It's not bad, it's just not good or interesting.
