My absolute favorite Cushing Frankestein film. To play the characters completely different from his other portrayals of the same character is a testament to his skill. I love the darker, more psychotic Frankenstein. This rounds out my top 3 Hammer films!
My 2nd all time fave and in today's culture, VERY through provoking for the time. The gender switch and Bates and Bestwick could actually pass for brother and sister in this which makes the transfer that much cooler. Saw this on the Big screen FINALLY last year and it was amazing!
My all-time Hammer fave. Have watched this over and over and over and will again. Just fun, beautifully shot, Caroline Munro, sword play - just perfect!
