Review of Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969) by Allan C — 04 Dec 2015
Madness is always sad.
Baron Von Frankenstein has found a new inn to practice his methods and hijacks a young doctor and his fiancée to help him with his experiments. Together they kidnap a deranged young man and begin their dastardly efforts.
"I'm sorry but stupidity always brings the worst from me.".
Terence Fisher, director of Horror of Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, The Gorgon, and The Curse of the Werewolf, delivers Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. The storyline for this picture is fun and has a great classic horror feel and presence. The acting is excellent and the cast includes Peter Cushing, Veronica Carlson, Freddie Jones, and Simon Ward.
"Your medical education is about to vastly improve.".
I came across this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) this past Halloween and had to DVR it. I adore the classic horror genre and found Cushing to be delightful in this film. The film doesn't have a ton of horror elements and relies on the interesting and intense characters. This is worth viewing once for fans of classic horror pictures.
"It was you who drove him out of his mind.".
Grade: C+.
