Despite its irregular rhythm - fortunately the film improves as it progresses - interesting and provocative elements are added. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's pretty wan and spotty, in fact, though probably not as bad as the most rabid Hammer fanatics would have you believe. Certainly, it is a stunningly terrible sequel.

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

Oct 24, 2015I have not yet seen Hammer's The Revenge of Frankenstein, which was released between Curse and this one. I am confident that there is little continuity between the plots, so it doesn't matter. Director Freddie Francis was a cinematographer before he was a director. I think that is evident here. Hammer now had a deal with Universal for distribution in the US, so the makeup of the Creature attempts to recreate the Jack Pierce design, but it is BADLY done. This movie makes more references to Universal horror pictures than other Hammer horror films do. I suspect that Francis with his camera background requested/demanded (?) extra time or money for the Art Director and his team because the film looks good as the camera moves around the village festival and the lab equipment in Frankenstein's run-down castle once it is restored. This is a top contender for favorite mad scientist's lab set. I could easily give this a higher rating if it wasn't for the ill-advised makeup work on the monster and the unoriginal performance by Kiwi Kingston. I enjoy the plot involving Zoltan the hypnotist (Peter Woodthorpe) planting criminal ideas of revenge in the innocent creature. Both Baron Frankenstein and his re-re-animated creature are simply misunderstood.Byron B Super Reviewer

Sep 15, 2013A poor addition to the Frankenstein legacy that Hammer enhanced. The film takes ages to get going and seems incredibly padded, even though it only runs at 1.5 hours. The make-up for the monster is terrible and the only redeeming thing about the film is Cushing's committed performance. The film still possesses the classic Hammer sheen that places it above most of their ouvre in the late 60's and 70's but those looking for a good Frankenstein film should check out Hammer's 'Curse of Frankenstein' or 'Frankenstein Created Woman' instead.David S Super Reviewer

Sep 21, 2011Just 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.Aj V Super Reviewer
