The Evil Of Frankenstein
[Blu-Ray+DVD]

Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Classic horror starring Peter Cushing. Penniless, Baron Frankenstein (Cushing), accompanied by his eager assistant Hans (Sandor Eles), arrives at his family castle near the town of Karlstaad, vowing to continue his experiments in the creation of life. Fortuitously finding the creature he was previously working on, he brings it back to a semblance of life but requires the services of a mesmerist, Zoltan (Peter Woodthorpe), to successfully animate it. The greedy and vengeful Zoltan secretly sends the monster into town to steal gold and 'punish' the burgomaster and the chief of police, which acts lead to a violent confrontation between the baron and the townspeople. Special Features * The Making of Evil of Frankenstein Narrated by Edward De Souza and featuring interviews with Wayne Kinsey, Caron Gardner, Hugh Harlow, Pauline Harlow, Peter Cushing, Don Mingaye. * The Evil of Frankenstein Stills Gallery. * The Evil of Frankenstein Theatrical Trailer. * A Moment with Caron Gardner REVIEW The third of Hammer's Frankenstein series starring Peter Cushing is generally considered to be the weakest. It has no link to any other film in the series and actually contradicts previous entries 'Curse of...' and 'Revenge of...' by inventing a new back story. Cushing is as good value as ever and it probably contains the best laboratory set of any Hammer Frankenstein. As usual with 60's Hammer, it looks georgous and is put together with the kind of skill other budget studios could only dream of. This film is proof that even a bad Hammer is still enjoyable 40 years on. --~Brett Campbell
