Movie Reviews

Starburst - 7/10 by John HigginsIt's a faithful tribute to the Shelley characters and legacy and follows the plot line of other adaptations of the novel.
New York Times - 5/10 by Howard ThompsonThe film shatters, with awkward horror pitted against rather bland sheepishness. But it was good fun while it lasted. Hammer almost had something special.
Empire Magazine - 4/10 by Kim NewmanPoor attempt by Hammer to create their version of Frankenstein, featuring the usually reliable Bates offering a rather irritating performance as the scientist who goes beyond the call of science.
Alternate Ending - 4/10 by Tim BraytonIf this is what Hammer thought the kids in 1970 wanted, it's little wonder that kids stayed far away.
User Review - 10/10 by Jason FA misunderstood classic from Hammer Films. I remember first seeing it inside a hotel room at the Sheraton at Clearwater Beach during the Summer holidays. It came on WGOT Channel 44's Creature Feature with local horror host Dr. Paul Bearer. I loved it when I first saw it. It takes an engaging movie to get your mind off staying at the beach and deciding to be inside. Jimmy Sangster does a great job of putting in humor throughout the film. One of my favorites scenes, is when Frankenstein's monster gives the audience the British V sign (the middle finger in the US.) Yes, its junior high humor but it helps to create a nice transition from scenes of murder and mayhem. Ralph Bates is a great Victor Frankenstein. He plays the young Victor as a smartass in school to getting into trouble in college and finally the egomatic prideful character he is at the film's end when the ending credits appear. As I was re-watching this, considering the economic problems today in 2009, I was thinking how great it would be to be Victor Frankenstein. He had a castle, vasts amounts of wealth, and plenty of free time to conduct weirdo experiments in the lab. Who wouldn't want all that? It becomes all the more tragic as the film progresses to the end result. I would have made better use of time and money, then again, I'm not driven to create life from dead body parts. Of all the Hammer Frankenstein films, this one is the most fun to watch. The little jokes keeping coming, sometimes where you don't expect them to be. Also, David Prowse, makes a great Hulk-like monster. As all the fanboys know, Prowse played Darth Vader in Star Wars. Instead of Boris Karloff cautiously leaving the lab by stumbling through the doorway, Prowse, punches out the wooden door with power and confidence. In makes an interesting contrast to the Karloff monster. What I love about Hammer is the interesting subplots between the house keeper and the beautiful Veronica Carlson as the house keeper tries to blackmail Victor or talk him out of letting Carlson to stay at the castle. Jealousy is what gives a lot of these Frankenstein movies the human side and makes it more fun to see how Victor will react and deal with domestic problems. Every mad scientist needs a good vat for acid to be poured into to get rid of such problems. As for the extras, Hammer finally throws the fans a bone. You get Audio Commentary from Jimmy Sangster and Marcus Hearn (Hammer Historian) Veronica Carlson interview Carlson Photo Album Gallery of Carlson's fine art and the usual posters, stills, trailers, and talent bios. There is something to be said of a film that captures my imagination at age 12 and years later at 36. A definite must have for fans of Hammer Horror.

User Review - 10/10 by Jacynthe LIgnore the title of this one. There's very little horror to be found. Despite what some say, it is definitely not a prequel to the Hammer Frankenstein series, and in fact does not figure into the continuity of that series in any way, though word has it that Hammer was hoping for a new series starring Ralph Bates. This film is actually intended as a parody of Hammer's other Frankenstein films. If you like Re-Animator, you should like this. Same basic film, same type of humor, just a slightly different setting and a different star. The monster doesn't figure very largely in this film. Mostly it's about Victor's madness and experiments and the cruelty he inflicts on the people around him. Anyway, I had a good time, and I hope you will too.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard BFrankenstien is pretty much a must have classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Ugly TA reworking and not a prequell to any of the previous Hammer Frankenstein films,Ralph Bates is no replacement for the great Peter Cushing but he brings something new to the Frankenstein Hammer formula,a young,Cocky and clever scientist,written with black humor by Hammer regular Jimmy Sangster and Dave Prowse fits the build well as the monster
User Review - 8/10 by Matt FHorror of Frankenstein was the sixth film in the Hammer Frankenstein canon and the only one not to star Peter Cushing as the titular scientist. But not the red-headed stepchild of the series as has been suggested by some. Quite the contrary, it's easy to dismiss because of its sardonic tongue in cheek take on the subject matter (and its notable lack of Cushing). I think many people take it as parody and stop there without giving it a chance. In fact, I think the strongest point in its favor is Ralph Bates as Victor Frankenstein, reinventing the role and breaking out of the shadow of Cushing entirely. He could have very easily phoned it in, seeing the big shoes he had to fill. But instead he made the role his, envisioning the good doctor as a cold, callous prick for whom human life was incidental to his experiments and the end ALWAYS justified the means. It is a performance that bears strong comparisons to Jeffrey Combs' Herbert West in Re-Animator. And he had the youth, the looks and the flamboyant demeanor to come across convincing as a sneering, womanizing, grave-robbing dandy. Horror of Frankenstein is, in my view, seconed maybe ONLY to Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed in the Hammer Frankenstein films.
