The Horror of Frankenstein (1970)
Another Frankenstein movie from the Hammer Collection. This is the weakest of the Hammer's Frankenstein series and quite a dull movie all together. It's the only movie without Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein and it's basically a remake of The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), those don't help it that's for sure. The younger version of Dr. Frankenstein doesn't really fit the part and the rest of the cast isn't anything great either. There are some attempts for dark comedy in it, guess as an effort to save the poor ripoff story, but it isn't really funny either. The monster itself was fairly nice, not the best I've seen but there have been worse also. Still there are some good moments in the movie, especially during the last 30 minutes, but it's not really worth it to watch the movie just for those. The picture quality is quite good, there's a commentary with Jimmy Sangster, interview with Veronica Carlson, posters and stills gallery on the DVD as extras, no subtitles as usual.
