| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonOne of the most sophisticated and intelligent follow-ups to a horror classic that has ever been put to film. |
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyVivid colour and close-ups reached the lowest level to which we were obliged to crawl; but to protest against such films, in these days of the boom in horror, is like trying to put out lightning with a candle-snuffer. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumAnother Hammer treatment, as usual worth seeing. |
| User ReviewStuart YThis was a great sequel, which carries straight on from the original Curse of Frankenstein. The special effects look a bit dodgy, but considering the film was made in '58, they are a lot better than the crappy CGI effects you get in horrors today. With a strong plot, and strong acting, this is a very good horror film, with a surprising creature, who you would expect to be scary looking, but it actually good looking, and can talk. The makers really go to town to making the sequel as good as the original, and making the sequel original, and avoiding all the Frankenstein clichés of old. Highly recommended |
| User ReviewLetícia "Saoki" LGreat. This is, indeed, a film about Science! Recommended: for those that watched The Curse of Frankenstein and liked it. To anyone that likes good acting. Not recommended:for those that are looking for gore, cheap scares or that do not see the genius of the good Doctor. |
| User ReviewMarina CThis movie shows clearly that if you create a monster that the monster will fight back against its creator!!!!! |
| User ReviewAntony WAnything that Peter appeared in was just simply brilliant , and this is no exception ! |
| User ReviewYann Lle meilleur de la serie, le plus abouti et le plus torturé |
| User ReviewEric HAn excellent follow-up. It maintains uneasiness in its visuals and action in the laboratory, and adds new flavor by doing things a little differently (a complying assistant, a characterized creation, etc.). Also, it has the type of ending we don't get enough of. |
| User ReviewKevin NVictor von Frankenstein narrowly escapes the guillotine, only to resume practice again in the village of Carlsbruck under a false name. By volunteering his time to the poor during the day, he is able to continue his seedy experiments by night, using bits and pieces of his other patients to give his invalid assistant a new body! Peter Cushing returns in THE REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN, Terence Fisher's worthy follow-up to the electrifying CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Frankenstein casts off the diabolical persona found throughout the series, and takes on a rather noble and selfless role here... Or so it would seem... His newest experiment appears to be a complete success, until Karl's body begins rejecting its new components as his brain slips into a primitive state, making him unfit for Frankenstein to put on display. Michael Gwynn is fantastic as Frankenstein's pitiful experiment, having to play both the amiable victim of the evil plot, and a crazed monster. Cushing is far more reserved than before, but takes every opportunity to excel, especially when confronted by the medical counsel and his misguided patients in the end. A top-rate sequel, to be sure! -Carl Manes I Like Horror Movies |
