Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

George Taylor While the cast is good, I've always found the story, about soul switching, to be lacking. For one thing, does the mind reside in the soul? Or is it a separate entity? That is a question for another day. This movie doesn't have a 'real' monster, just human looking ones seeking out vengeance. For me, one of the lesser entries.

classicsoncall In yet another twist on the Frankenstein mythos, the Baron (Peter Cushing) turns a disfigured character into a normal looking human being, while the brain transplant standard is replaced here by a soul transplant. It makes me wonder if James Brown might have been a fan.The first thing I noticed when the Baron was removed from his self imposed cryogenic sleep was how easily his assistant Wertz (Thorley Walters) was able to move his frozen arms away from his chest. But at least the Baron redeemed himself with his latest theory, the idea that one's soul stays with the body for a time if suspended in a death like state. This all comes in handy when another of the Baron's aides is put to death for a murder he didn't commit. When Hans' (Robert Morris) execution by guillotine is witnessed by his girlfriend Christina (Susan Denberg), the distraught young woman commits suicide by drowning.The whole soul transference business didn't make a lot of sense to me but it made for an interesting tale of revenge and murder on the part of the transformed Christina. She takes out the three dandies that ridiculed her and beat her father to death and did it in pretty elegant style if you consider the new look as a blonde bombshell she acquired along with the soul work over.Well I guess none of it has to make any sense if you're a Horror film fan, and coming into this year's Halloween celebration, these flicks were all over the place. There are enough horror elements here for those who like to see blood, and for romance fans, this wouldn't be the first time a guy lost his head over a girl.

jacobjohntaylor1 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.

fwdixon This is an unusual opus in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Directed ably by Terence Fisher and starring the delightfully ironic Peter Cushing, it forgoes the usual piecing together of dead bodies and rampaging monster. Instead it focuses on Frankenstein's trying to capture the soul before it leaves the body. He manages to capture the soul of his hapless assistant Hans after he was wrongly beheaded for the murder of the local innkeeper. He puts the soul into the recently deceased (suicide) daughter (Christina) of the aforementioned innkeeper with the predictable results. The now reanimated Hans/Christina goes on a vengeful murder spree before finally committing suicide (again!) This is a stylish film with all the usual flourishes one expects from Hammer. Good acting, a good script, high production value and crisp direction all add up to a superior entry in Hammer's long running Frankenstein series.
