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. [More]

Reviews for The Revenge of Frankenstein
...trods off the established path of Frankenstein tropes and eschews routine horrifics by putting a lens on its people rather than on an expected cereal-box monster.
An OK sequel with plenty of shocks and Cushing's wonderful, energetic performance as the brilliant, obsessed Dr. Frankenstein
There was a staid quality about the film that kept it from being as gripping as it could have been.
