Editorial Review:
Description:
Another take on the classic tale. This one's a British version from 1969 with a more heartless version of the mad scientist. Instead of having a lab assistant to do his dirty work, this Dr. Frankenstien pushes a young doctor and his betrothed to kidnap the next victim. They must capture the mentally ill Dr. Brandt so that hi sbrain may be used in Dr. Frankenstein's experiments.
Amazon.com:
Peter Cushing delivers his most cold-blooded portrayal of the mad Baron in his fifth turn as Dr. Frankenstein. Abandoning his latest experiment after a drunk stumbles into his secret lab (upsetting a severed head) he hurriedly finds new lodgings with a sweet young thing (Hammer glamour babe Veronica Carlson) whose boyfriend (Simon Ward, in his film debut) works in the local sanitarium. Frankenstein blackmails the lovers into complicity with his latest experiment, resorts to kidnapping and murder for his subjects, turns accomplice Ward into a killer, and even rapes Carlson in a coldly brutal scene. The goriest film of the series kicks off with a flamboyant beheading with a scythe (seen only as a spray of blood across a window) and is full of bloody brain surgery, conveniently offscreen but vividly suggested in the slurping sound effects of surgical saws and drills and the gallons of blood left in their wake. Freddie Jones is heartbreaking as Frankenstein's latest creature, a once-insane scientist who awakens to find himself cured but trapped in a grotesque, alien body. When he attempts to communicate with his wife, half hiding in a dark corner while she peers around and sees only a monster, director Terence Fisher offers the most affecting moment of pathos in the entire series. Cushing and Fisher reunited for one more film together, the seventh and final film in the series, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. --Sean Axmaker

In this splendid Hammer Production, Peter Cushing portrays a most evil, merciless Baron Frankenstein; he will kill anyone in order to ensure the success of his latest experiment: the transplanting of a brain from one human to another. He wields sickles, knives, and torches as he dispatches anyone who interferes. Peter Cushing reminds me of Vincent Price when he portrayed Dr. Phibes in his revenge movies. From its blood-splaterring beginning to its fiery end, this movie continues to shock and horrify. ... Read More

The Hammer Horror films have a tendency to take the suspense edge off so that the viewer can enjoy the saga as it unrolls. That's what I especially like about all their productions. And this one was simply superb in that realm, as well as in so many other facets.
First, the cinematography is just spectacular which is a hallmark for Hammer. There's nothing cheap or cheesy about this well-crafted film. The color saturation is just as I liked it. The sets were incredible.
Second, I ... Read More

Hammer's 5th Baron Frankenstein film is, by far, their nastiest-- and in some ways, I must admit, perhaps their cleverest. Gone is any pretense of sympathy in the character-- in this, he's devolved into irredeemably evil. What kind of a "hero" (protagonist at best) DECAPITATES an innocent passer-by to aid in an experiment? Long way from digging up dead corpses, isn't it! What horrible fate brought dear, sweet, gentle Peter Cushing (Van Helsing in HORROR OF DRACULA and others, Sherlock Holmes in HOUND OF THE ... Read More

Hammer did 7 Frankenstein films from the late 50s to early 70s:
The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)
The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)
Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)
The Horror of Frankenstein (1970)
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1973)
Peter Cushing played Baron Frankenstein in every one of these except "The Horror of Frankenstein." The reason is because "Horror" was a ... Read More

The fifth entry in Hammer's Frankenstein series, FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED, is probably the best. Director Terence Fisher thought so as well.
The plot has been well-covered by other reviewers, so I won't bother rehashing it. The acting in this movie from the whole cast is top notch. Peter Cushing is great as usual and he really pulls off Frankenstein's split personas: the charming public figure and the cold, ruthless madman. Simon Ward and Veronica Carlson are both good as the young couple ... Read More
