Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Revenge of Frankenstein was an inevitability after Hammer Films had made an international star of Peter Cushing in The Curse of this sequel-rich franchise. The plot here is a braver twist on the story than the many follow-ups would take. The Creature doesn't make its presence known until the final reel, up to which point the only sense of lurking menace comes from Cushing's deliciously mannered performance as a disguised Dr Stein. A new name and a new town is a gamble sure to fail, and circumstances almost immediately conspire against the deceit. Also rattling around the brilliantly lit studio sets are Eunice Gayson and Francis Matthews, while Michael Gwynn gives everything he's got in stiff competition to predecessor Christopher Lee in the Creature role. It's subtle and simply screams out for enfranchisement--so of course Hammer dutifully made another five in the series.

On the DVD: The Revenge of Frankenstein comes with mono sound (all you're going to get from Hammer and 1958), but the 1.66:1 ratio is a treat. You also get a trailer (and a surprise additional movie trailer) plus 10 photos. --Paul Tonks



Synopsis

In 'The Revenge Of Frankenstein' Baron Frankenstein escapes prison to practice under a new name. In 'The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb' an expedition team open an old tomb and release an ancient curse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary or what!, 1 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Revenge Of Frankenstein [DVD] [1958] (DVD)
This is a great classic, I won't give too much away about the film so all I am saying is there are so many twists to keep you glued to the screen and enough horror to make you jump in your seat with the drop of a needle. This is a excellent movie, you won't regret buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably The Best Frankenstein, 25 Sep 2002
By E. A. Redfearn "eredfearn2" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Out of all the Hammer Frankenstein films, this is probably the best. A great script and great acting from Peter Cushing and Francis Matthews hold the film together until its climax when the doctor is supposedly killed by the inmates of the hospital which he runs. Overall, its a great production. Fine acting support from Michael Gwynn; Eunice Gayson; Richard Wordsworth and Oscar Quitak, with a great script by Jimmy Sangster. Very atmospheric from first to last, it is clearly one of Hammer's best efforts. Picture and sound are rather good too. Should be seen on DVD though. As for the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, bit of a shame really. Still, its a good buy as a double purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's always time for the important things..., 18 Jun 2007
By Matthew Mercy (Wigan, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revenge Of Frankenstein [DVD] [1958] (DVD)
After escaping the guillotine, Baron Victor Frankenstein relocates to a nearby town and sets about transplanting his crippled assistant's brain into a healthy new body. But once again, things don't go according to the Baron's plan, and his clean-limbed `new man' is soon committing brutal murders and battling cannibalistic urges...

The Revenge of Frankenstein is the best of Peter Cushing's Frankenstein pictures, and probably rates as the finest movie inspired by Mary Shelley's over-filmed novel. As well as being a first-rate Hammer horror film, it is also a black-comic classic, and one of the most unique and memorable British films of the 1950s. Though conceived in a hurry to cash in on the success of The Curse of Frankenstein, this sequel improves on it in every way, and features perhaps the greatest performance of Cushing's career, in which he transforms the fanatical, cold-blooded killer of the earlier film into a multi-layered, sympathetic, and all-too-human monster. Containing some great lines, jolting scares, and capped by a great twist ending, The Revenge of Frankenstein is a classic.
