Not a Patch on the Original - Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed review by Cato
Having read the book by Mary Shelley recently I thought that Frankenstein was created by a scientist, but in this film he is the mad scientist himself played by the estimable Peter Cushing slicing off the top of some poor mad geezer's head to "cure" him with someone else's brain. Complicated? Well, not really, as it skips along at a galloping pace, and in 1969 it was maybe well thought of by the audience (mostly teenagers probably). But today it seems very old fashioned, in that we've been shown so many horror movies that we we might find this one a tad OTT. The acting is incredibly hammy by all concerned, but some of the action is pretty nasty. Enjoy.
