Synopsis

Abandoning his latest experiment after a drunk stumbles into his secret lab, Dr. Frankenstein finds new lodgings with a sweet young thing whose boyfriend works in the local sanitarium. Frankenstein blackmails the lovers into complicity with his latest experiment, kidnapping and murder for his subjects. Frankenstein's latest creature is a once-insane scientist who awakens to find himself cured but trapped in a grotesque, alien body.

Critics' reviews

"Jones is astonishing as the anguished victim of the transplant, whose wife fails to recognise him and rejects him, prompting his revenge plan."

Alan Jones: Radio Times
"A good-enough example of its low-key type, with artwork rather better than usual (less obvious backcloths, etc.), a minimum of artless dialog, good lensing by Arthur Grant and a solid all round cast."

Variety Staff: Variety
"One of the finest of the seven entries in Hammer's Frankenstein cycle."

Josh Vasquez: Slant
"Fisher taps a rich vein of Romanticism here, making this the high point of a series that afterwards degenerated into the sloppy self-parody of Jimmy Sangster's The Horror of Frankenstein."
