The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

Summary: With the help of Karl, the crippled hangman, Frankenstein escapes the gallows. Under the name Stein, the Baron sets up practice in the town of Karlsbruck, alternating between volunteer work at the poor hospital and private practice where his courtly charms draw him the devotion of the upper-classes. He is recognized by Hans Kleve who forces Frankenstein to take him on as an assistant. Together they transplant Karl’s brain into a new patchwork body. The operation is successful at first, but soon the body’s limbs return to their old crippled positions. And once again, the Baron must fight for his survival!           Overall: I liked the way the previous film (Curse) ended and this film started. Other than that, it’s just a 60’s Hammer film. Nothing too exciting or interesting here, really. No reason to fun out and go get it. It’s not bad though. Just nothing exemplary about it.           Comparison: Curse of Frankenstein meets Body Parts
