The Evil of Frankenstein

With the pace held in smooth rein by the director, Freddie Francis, the picture begins to say something about superstition and hypocrisy. Then it simply goes hog-wild (monster gets drunk) and heads for the ash heap, along with Mr. Gushing and his barbecued menace. 

In this one Peter Cushing plays the baron with his usual seriousness, avoiding tongue-in-the-cheek, and he is the main prop in the proceedings.

The Evil Of Frankenstein, directed by camera ace Freddie Francis, looks stunning, although much of its budget was clearly spent on the cracking laboratory set. [20 Oct 2007, p.23]

The only one of the Hammer Frankenstein films not directed by Terence Fisher, this is, consequently, one of the weakest entries in the series.
