 Will the real Hammer Frankenstein please stand up? November 20, 2001
William Armstrong (Pawtucket, RI, USA.)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Hammer's Victor Frankenstein owes little to the Universal series (where the character was named Henry and in fact the sequels featured the monster and not the Doctor) or even the original novel (whose Victor was a young college student and not a Baron).
When one follows the Baron in the Hammer series, one finds a lot of inconsistency. The insensitive, murderous Baron of CURSE is toned down a bit in REVENGE, misunderstood in EVIL, is the "hero" of CREATED WOMAN, is a killer and more evil than ever (and just transplants a brain) in MUST BE DESTROYED, and is back more or less like the Baron in REVENGE in AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL. Cushing is a wonderful actor and makes the character interesting, in spite of the scripting.
One wonders how the Baron came upon the idea to transplant souls since he seems to be an atheist or how he is able to acquire the machinery to be able to accomplish it without arousing suspicion. FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN is a pretty good film overall, but the ending does seem weak. One gets the feeling they couldn't think up a more satisfying ending and just had her drown herself again. Hammer fans will probably enjoy it anyway. Others should look for a more traditional Frankenstein movie.
Vintage Hammer. Babes, severed heads AND Peter Cushing! April 24, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The fist time I saw this movie, at the tender age of 10, it left a lasting impression that has no doubt skewed my view of the world. Here was a former Playboy Bunny trying desperately to contain herself in a typical Hammeresque period costume, running around the Village exacting revenge in a series of bloody murders. The grisly climax contains a scene where she talks to the severed head of her (former) boyfriend. She was, of course, Frankenstein's newest creation. I recently watched this again, curious as to how I would react 30 years later. Aside from a terrible ending (this movie doesn't end so much as it stops), the movie still holds up pretty well. Fans of the Hammer genre, and fans of Peter Cushing will no doubt enjoy this one. Good wacky laboratory sequences, a fun cast of characters (some of which you are glad to see die) and Denberg as the best looking creature yet.
 Frankenstein Created Cinderella! September 23, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
OK, first off, this is NOT, NOT, NOT a conventional Frankenstein movie. Frankenstein (the icily attractive and very gifted Peter Cushing) overhauls the deformed body of a dead girl, making her into a gorgeous blonde and using the soul of her lover (which Frank trapped in his lab) to reanimate the body. The result is a naive, gentle girl who periodically goes into attack mode, hunting down the men responsible for the lover's execution & the girl's suicide and slaying them with very sharp knives. This movie is among, other things, a slasher turned inside out, a Burtonesque study of a dysfunctional pseudo-family, and the world's most twisted take on Cinderella...if that appeals to you, check it out. PS-the skin quotient is fairly low, and the gore level nothing unusual, but it manages a few moments of mild creepiness,and it's superbly acted as well.
Cushing created Hammer. April 26, 2001

Peter Cushing as the Baron.This time,Baron Frankenstein starts off with another bizarre experiment.He intends to take souls from fresh corpses,and give them new life,in another body.In order to do this,the Baron,and his colleague Dr.Hertz,need two fresh corpses.A bizarre string of events unfold,and inevitably,the experiment takes place,with mixed results.Without the presence of Cushing,it's average in every respect.For the film,3.0/5.The picture quality on this disc is excellent,no defects at all,no grain.Sharp throughout.No problems,4.0/5. The sound quality is also without fault,a Dolby Digital (Mono) track is sufficient to re-create the classic Hammer feel.3.5/5. Overall,a reasonably entertaining film,certainly not Peter Cushings best outing as the Baron,but a great transfer from Anchor Bay,maybe one to at least consider for Hammer fans.And remember,even bad Cushing,is good.
 stylish, erotic, smart- all my favorites!!! May 18, 2002

I saw this many, many years ago in the theatre... still a great movie, but the tape didn't exactly capture the lush backgrounds, the erotism of the first time. Well, I'm also not 6 (or whatever) years old.
Still, I experienced again: a delirious crush on Hans, the romantic, too-good-to-be-true, hero- who was able to love AND LUST after Christine, the flawed and mistreated servant girl (haven't we all been her at one time?)His ability to see past the scars she felt such shame from made him a big numero uno for me even way back then.
Second: yowza! I prayed that my pre-adolescent self would develop into ANY SEMBLANCE WHAT-SO-EVER of the oozing sexuality of the transformed/re-created (isn't that another wish of ours, ladies?) Christina (Susan Denberg)...
And, oh yeah... Peter Cushing is in it, too.
HA! Just kidding...the blend of old school, classic horror and repressed sexuality made for a memorable movie that I had to buy and watch again and again.
If you dig the mix... and you know who you are out there... get this movie
