I find it really interesting how back then the monsters were played by big names. Now we’re more likely to get things like Frankenstein’s monster credited as “…some guy in a suit..£

I am sure its been said before but Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee became good friends so much so that when Cushing died it was huge blow to Lee.

A great review opener for the Hammer Frankenstein series. It’s interesting that the whole thing could’ve just been invented in a crazy man’s mind. It’s funny that the first time Cushing met Lee, he was already in the monster, er, creature make-up.

nerd brings up a pretty good point. when Cushing’s character murders the genius, the guy landed directly on his head ahahhaha. that would have smashed his brain beyond recoverability. maybe thats why the monster is so dumb lol

Gotta love the color photography, Cushing/Lee, violence and women of the Hammer series! Great review of their take on Frankenstein

I like how the floor is obviously fake when the professor falls on his head to his death.

I don’t think I’ve seen very many movies from the 50’s, but the film quality of this one was way better than I expected. I honestly would’ve guessed it was from the 70’s or even the very early 80’s.

Hm, getting set on fire and falling out of a castle… Maybe Peter Jackson should have switched the casting around on Lord of the Rings.

in my opinion I felt the ending meant Paul and Frankenstein’s Wife hooked up. She seemed to be very friendly with Paul during the film, since Frankenstein was always busy. And I never felt that Frankenstein killed her when he shot her on accident towards the end, only that she fainted or something like that.
