Review of The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958) by Rodney E — 18 Jan 2013
While almost equalling the coolness of the Fisher helmed original Hammer produced Frankenstein, it lacks because of Christopher Lee not playing the monster again. While not explained how the Baron escaped the guillotine, this is classic in terms of sets, tone, and props.
The eyes and hand in the lab are way cool for their time and just about everything is up to par with the Hammer level of quality. My big gripe is that the "creature" looks like some regular guy, which he is for the most part, but after the inventive makeup in the first Hammer Frankenstein it isn't as good.
Still this is a neat and fun time and perfect for the Halloween season.
