Product Description

Product Description

Baron Frankenstein joins forces with a small town German doctor in his latest and most terrifying experiment. They create a monster out of bits and pieces of several bodies, including the brain of a dwarf. Something goes amiss as the monster turns into a cannibal and must be destroyed.

From Amazon.co.uk

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

Format: 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...
Quick to capitalise on the runaway success of 1957's The Curse of Frankenstein, Hammer wasted no time at all in producing The Revenge of Frankenstein, which was shot back-to-back with Horror of Dracula (1958), and in my opinion ranks as one of the very finest horror movies the Bray team made, the best of Peter Cushing's six Frankenstein pictures, and the most underrated cinematic take on Mary Shelley's over-filmed novel. Although a first-rate Hammer horror, The Revenge of Frankenstein is also notable for being a vicious black comedy, and it must be regarded as one of the most unique and memorable British films of the 1950s, featuring perhaps the greatest performance of Cushing's career, in which he transforms the fanatical, cold-blooded killer of the earlier movie into a multi-layered, sympathetic, and all-too-human monster. Jimmy Sangster's witty screenplay is certainly the best thing he ever wrote, Terence Fisher's direction is again typically classy, and there are a couple of excellent supporting turns from Michael Gwynn as the hapless Creature and The Quatermass Xperiment's Richard Wordsworth as a malingering porter at Frankenstein's hospital. Containing some brilliant lines, a couple of wonderful scares, and capped by a great twist ending, The Revenge of Frankenstein is truly one of the unsung classics of British cinema.
Presented in the correct ratio and including the original trailer as an extra feature, the Sony / Columbia UK DVD release is nothing like as comprehensive a package as this film perhaps deserves, however, the fact that it is available at all is something to be thankful for. Certainly recommended to all Hammer fans.

This great Hammer horror is possibly the best Frankenstein movie ever made.

The film takes up from where the previous Hammer Frankenstein movie, "The Curse Of Frankenstein" left off.
Having escaped the gallows, Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) is now working under the new name of "Dr Stein" and is blackmailed into accepting the assistance of Dr Hans Kleve (Francis Matthews) who knows the Baron's true identity, and joins the Baron in his charity work at a clinic, helping down and outs.
Trouble is, the Baron helps himself to their limbs for his latest creation, with various amputees left filling the ward.

The normal appearing "Monster" (played by Michael Gwynn) is eventually unstrapped from his bed in an isolated room whilst recuperating by a woman volunteer at the clinic (Eunice Gayson) and then he escapes, eventually to murder twice after being attacked himself.
Eventually, when the authorities and patients get wind of who "Dr Stein" really is, the patients turn on him, and the badly wounded Baron leaves his salvation in the hands of Hans, with a nice twist at the end.

This excellent movie holds your attention throughout, because its nicely paced and never sags, so put your feet up, have some assorted snacks ready, and enjoy.

Both the colour widescreen picture and sound quality are excellent, with various subtitle languages, including English.

The extras include film trailers and a photo gallery.

Warning!May contain spoilers!
This, the second in Hammer's long running Frankenstein series, starts off where The Curse Of Frankenstein finished, with the Baron on his way to the guilottine. He of course escapes, a hapless priest taking his place.
Three years later, we find him masquerading as Doctor Stein, operating two practices, one for the rich populus, which funds his work with the poor, and also his experiments. With the help of another Doctor, Hans Kleve(Francis Matthews) he attempts to transplant the brain of his physically deformed assistant Karl, into a perfect body. Everything appears to go well, until his creation(Michael Gwynne) suffers a brain injury in a fight, and starts to degenerate into a murderous flesh eater.
This film has a nice streak of black humour running through it, with the Baron's numerous pithy comments, and especially in the scenes at the beginning featuring Lionel Jeffries and Michael Ripper as a pair of incompetant graverobbers. This is a lovely double act, sadly short lived.
There are numerous good performances especially from Peter Cushing as Frankenstein, and Richard Wordsworth as a busy body Hospital cleaner, who spends most of his time poking his nose into other peoples affairs.
All in all, an excellent Hammer horror, and I will give it 4 out of 5. Next in the series was The Evil Of Frankenstein
NB: The DVD transfer is excellent, with the film looking great, shame about the lack of extras.

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.
