Totally broke, Dr.Frankenstein returns to Karlstaad and starts his experiments once again in his family castle. He requires the assistance of a hypnotist called Zoltan in order to reanimate the creature, but Zoltan has other plans for it. He orders it to wreak havoc in town for his own profit and Frankenstein has to stop them both...
Freddie Francis' first attempt at directing seems to have paid off just fine. Recreating and enhancing the dark persona of Dr.Frankenstein, Francis puts his own touch to the film legend. All the gothic and the Sci-Fi elements are there but this time we get an extra dosage of mysticism and parapsychology which definitely makes the film gloomier and more dangerous. A fine film with a smooth progress that doesn't let you get bored.
Peter Cushing once again as Dr.Frankenstein and this time he sees his creations being abused by some other malevolent personality besides him. His arch enemy, Peter Woodthorpe blends in effortlessly in the film's mood. Katy Wild as the beggar girl and Sandor Elès as Frankenstein's assistant complete the main cast of this mesmerizing flick!
Must watch this : on a hot summer evening with a plate full of fish and chips. I don't know why but it seems like a good combination with this film.
