Review of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) by Brian B — 06 Jan 2009
Typical Hammer adaptation of the Frankenstein story. I don't mean that as an insult either. What I love bout 60s Hammer films is that they were afraid to make their films take place in a different century (unlike now with our crap Dracula 2000 and such).
Peter Cushing is good... sometimes laughable as he tends to overact. Christopher Lee looks amazing as the monster despite some obvious makeup lines are easily seen. Some shots are really good, but most of the time your shouting at the characters doing something incredibly dumb, but isnt that what horror films are all about.
It's a great Halloween season movie.
