Peter Cushing stars as Dr Frankenstein in the fifth outing of the Hammer Frankenstein series. Cushing plays a brute, contradicting his other somewhat sympathetic portrayals of Dr Frankenstein. The monster is not disfigured and speaks coherently. While it is commendable that the film tries to distance itself from the formulaic nature of Frankenstein films, it just detracted from my enjoyment of the picture. That and a very dissatisfying ending make this film a weak installment of the Hammer Horror Frankenstein franchise.
5/10
