Review – Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell

Terence Fisher takes the helm for the last time in this run-of-the-mill Hammer Frankenstein picture. A surgeon (Shane Briant) gets busted for digging up and dissecting corpses, and the judge commits him to an asylum. What luck for him that the loony bin’s eminence grise is none other than the legendary Baron (Peter Cushing) still up to his old tricks. He’s stitched dead patients (some of whom received a little assistance with their passing) into a hulking mass of makeup (David Prowse of Darth Vader fame). The usual jolt of electricity. The usual out of control rampage. Mildly amusing
