Review of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) by Steve M — 10 Jul 2005
Peter Cushing is back again as Baron Frankenstein, and this time he's utterly, deliciously evil. He's been evil before, but not like this. At this point, other people are just toys and spare parts to him. Sure he still talks about furthering mankind through knowledge of science and medicine, but this time out it just sounds like self indulgent justification for his madness.
It seems Frankenstein actually has a peer who has advanced one step beyond him in discovering how to freeze a brain without killing it, thereby maintaining the minds of geniuses until suitable new bodies can be found. Unfortunately, before he could pass on the secret to Frankenstein, he went completely crackers, with the secret locked inside his mad brain. Frankenstein must cure his madness, but first he must find a new host body, since his "friend" has a heart condition that wouldn't allow him to survive the brain surgery to cure his madness.
This is probably the best film since the original, even better than Revenge Of Frankenstein. Enjoy.
