Review of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) by Sterling B — 27 Oct 2010

While I certainly used to hold this in higher regard than I do now, it's still a really good movie and focuses on the actual humanity of Dr. Frankenstein. Peter Cushing does a great job at being the most cold and calculated human being, that is where the horror is present in the movie.

The Monster isn't really featured all that much, which was a brave move considering audience expectations. Where this really just doesn't cut it anymore is the lacking of true storytelling. There's some nicely written dialogue, but it never reaches you on an emotional level.

This is a fun movie without a doubt and very watchable, the positives definitely outweigh the negative aspects.
