Full Plot Details

In prison and awaiting execution, Dr. Victor Frankenstein recounts to a priest what led him to his current circumstance. He inherited his family's wealth after the death of his mother when he was still only a young man. He hired Paul Krempe as his tutor and he immediately developed an interest in medical science. After several years, he and Krempe became equals and he developed an interest in the origins and nature of life. After successfully re-animating a dead dog, Victor sets about constructing a man using body parts he acquires for the purpose including the hands of a pianist and the brain of a renowned scholar. As Frankenstein's excesses continue to grow, Krempe is not only repulsed by what his friend has done but is concerned for the safety of the beautiful Elizabeth, Victor's cousin and fiancée who has come to live with them. His experiments lead to tragedy and his eventual demise.

Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonA sterling exemplar of the best of everything that made Hammer so special.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Alan JonesThis was the classic that single-handedly revived traditional British Gothic and firmly placed the "Hammer House of Horror" on the global gore map.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Dan YakirPeter Cushing gets every inch of drama from the leading role, making almost believable the ambitious urge and diabolical accomplishment.
Flicks.com.au - 8/10 by Sarah WardA movie with a distinctive mood and style that finds its own niche.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsThe immense possibilities of the Frankenstein story have here been sacrificed by an ill-made script, poor direction and performance and, above all, a preoccupation with disgusting - not horrific - charnelry.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 6/10 by Leo GoldsmithBeautifully portrayed by Christopher Lee, the Monster is almost heartbreaking, flailing confusedly with a pained expression on its patchwork face.
Empire - 6/10 by Kim NewmanIn its best scenes, it adds dynamism and British grit to a genre that had previously tried to get by on atmospherics and mood alone. It manages to be shocking without being especially frightening, and its virtues of performance and style remain striking.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Bosley CrowtherThis one should be cold-cuts for old-timers who remember Boris Karloff as the get of Frankenstein, but it may tittilate the blissful youngsters.
CinePassion - 5/10 by Fernando F. CroceFurther developments of Hammer Studios as a spook-house Ealing
User Review - 10/10 by Richard GMade in 1957,Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) is a brilliant scientist who wants to create a supreme being of intellect,however the brain gets damged and he has created a Monster,this was the film that really cemented Hammer's place in horror history,yes 'The Abomnible Snowman' and 'The Quatermass Xperiment' came first but this is the film that really changed the brittish horror film industry.What i love about it is that the Baron Frankenstein has to become a monster himself to create the Creature,The Creature is played by fellow Hammer Stalwart Christopher Lee who plays the Monster as what the creation is intended to be- A Monster,there is more Dr.Frankenstein than there is of the Creature but i think it works well and is very different from Universal's Frankenstein,This was the first Hammer Horror i ever watched as a child so it has a special place for me this movie is a sterling example of the best of everything that made Hammer so special.A Horror Classic.
