It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Well, like in many horror movies--new or old--there is no attempt made to explain how Baron Frankenstein survived the ending of "The Evil of Frankenstein." I guess the only explanation necessary was that these films were popular and the public wanted more. So, this time, we see the Baron revived after being dead in an icy coffin for an hour--his soul never leaving his body.This gives the great doctor the idea of trapping the human soul & possibly putting it into a new body--which, of course, he does. This time, a female body--hence the title of this movie. Not quite as great to me as all the previous Frankenstein entries that I've seen--of course, I thought "Evil of Frankenstein" was a masterpiece, so anything following that might be a bit of a letdown.Still, this is a very good movie--you can hardly go wrong with Cushing as the Baron and Susan Denberg as his latest creation--the face of an angel and the soul of a killer. If you like "Hammer Horror," then this movie shouldn't disappoint. The print of the VHS release by Anchor Bay is excellent too. 4 1/2 stars....
This a sequel to The evil of Frankenstein. It is a great movie. It is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It this movie Doctor Frankenstein brings back a women who killed herself. She is possessed by the ghost of her boy friend who was executed for a murder he did not do. Now he is out for revenge. This is one of the scariest movies ever made. The evil of Frankenstein is a little better. But still this is a very scary movie. Frankenstein must be destroyed is also better. But still this a great movie it is very scary. The revenge of Frankenstein is also better. But still this is a great movie. It is very scary.
I suppose it was inevitable that Hammer would tackle some sort of remake of "The Bride of Frankenstein" at some stage but the not very subtlety titled "Frankenstein Created Woman" goes down a somewhat different route. Firstly it is the Baron himself who is resurrected, (well he was only 'dead' for an hour), by an unlikely Thorley Walters and his handsome, if not very bright, assistant Hans, (Robert Morris), so he can continue with his nefarious schemes. However, this time, instead of some hulking creature he conjures up a sexy and scar-free Susan Denberg into whose body he transposes the soul of the unjustly guillotined Hans. (A nice twist is that Denberg was scarred before being brought back to life rather than after). Given that it could have dipped into the ridiculous at any moment Terence Fisher's film is surprisingly intelligent, (it's got a superb pre-credit sequence and a nicely handled revenge theme). Anthony Hinds wrote the first-rate script under the pseudonym John Elder and once again Peter Cushing proves himself a formidable Dr Frankenstein. It may not be particularly frightening in the conventional sense but it still leaves a clammy feeling nevertheless.
This movie had everything that Hammer and Corman are famous for the technical aspects.The color or tone and shading was a plus The locations were superb. The fact that the film was uninterrupted by svengoolie. In the early days of horror flicks the voices were always just a bit off like the old kungfoo films i really like that. today the horror film producers seem to think that blood and gore is what the audience craves.What about the story we have not had a good story in years for example jekyll and hyde,moby dick,Dracula,sure we have had adaptations of these classic films but no new idea's that takes the viewer's into a what if this did happen frame of mind.I will say that harry potter came close in the first film anything after that was just cashing in on the first one.I know we have the writer's .I believe the studio's the corporations wont give new idea's a chance .they have ruined it just as they have the music business.long story short IS WHATS OLD IS ACTUALLY NEW.
