In this re-telling of the classic horror tale, Baron Victor Frankenstein becomes friends with one of his teachers, Paul Krempe.

However, he is drawn back into the plot when Frankenstein's creature kills a member of the house staff.

Britain's Hammer Studios had been making films for decades before they suddenly redefined themselves with this lurid remake of the Universal Studios horror classic. Prohibited by Universal from copying their blocky makeup (and their script, for that matter), Hammer returned to Mary Shelley's novel for inspiration, and then went in its own direction. Peter Cushing plays Dr. Frankenstein as the rational scientist turned cold-blooded criminal in his campaign to discover the secret of life, committing murder to further his ends, or to remove an inconvenient mistress. Christopher Lee is the pitiable creature, a terrified behemoth more innocent newborn than malevolent monster. His pale, pallid, grotesquely scarred face was so thickly applied that he emotes almost exclusively with his eyes and his awkward, stumbling gestures. The not-so-good Dr. Frankenstein is the true monster, a ruthless scientist whose rejection of superstition extends to all moral considerations. Shot in blood-red color by Hammer stalwart Terence Fisher, the stylish, often salacious film became Hammer's biggest success to date, made horror stars out of the classically trained Cushing and Lee, and transformed the B studio into the Hammer we know and love today: the house that dripped blood. The Horror of Dracula immediately followed, reuniting the winning team of Cushing and Lee, and Cushing returned in four of six Frankenstein sequels. --Sean Axmaker

Although "Curse Of Frankenstein" was technically not the first of Hammer's horror movies ("The Mystery Of The Marie Celeste", from 1935 {and starring Bela Lugosi}, gets that honor) it was their first in a couple decades and it was the one that really launched Hammer Horror as a force. It came out in 1957, at the beginning of a great burgeoning of horror, and it set the tone for a lot of Hammer's movies that would come and make the studio the UK's most signifigant horror player for years. So ... Read More

I have always been a classic Universal horror films fan and was never that big a fan of the Hammer interpretations. This was because of my loyal devotion to the original classic Universal films. If you compare the Hammer films to the true classic Universal films then I would say they pale by comparison. Unfortunately the classic films were replaced with some rather cheaply made quickies in the 40's and 50's. Even though these cheaper films may hold fond memories for those who grew up with them, it ... Read More

This is the 1957 Hammer Film which launched the super team of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, albeit, since Lee plays the monster in this one we have to wait for a subsequent film to see his handsome face.
This flick turned the genre in a positive direction with superior sets, nice color saturation, superb cinematography, more believeable script, and no hokeyness. It also seems to be a Hammer Hallmark to include one or two beautiful and buxom women in each of these Cushing/Lee films. ... Read More

Makes you really appreciate the Universal horror films from the 1930s; their expressionistic style, cavernous sets, and fabulous acting. Cushing is a bore to watch as Frankenstein, and the entire thing is mired in talky exposition and unidimensional characters. Christopher Lee gets nary little to do as the monster. Perhaps the best aspect of this film is the gory makeup which must have seemed quite revolting in '57. Not recommended.

Despite having been a small production company turning out a number of excellent low budget horror efforts the famed Hammer Studios only really began to earn their title of "The Studio that Dripped Blood", when they changed direction in production and began remaking many of the old Universal Studio's gothic horror efforts from the 1930's. Their first effort in this new genre was 1957's "The Curse of Frankenstein", which became such a huge success that it opened the flood gates for the revival of numerous ... Read More
