The Horror of Frankenstein

1970 · 95 min

A wry, chilly Hammer chiller that watches like a blackly comic cautionary tale, more amused by its arrogant antihero than frightened by its lumbering monster.

Tagline
The dead shall rise again!
Overview
Brilliant but arrogant scientist Victor Frankenstein builds a man from spare body parts, only for the monster to come alive and wreak havoc.
