The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 9/05

9/05: A sensational Hammer Horror picture, The Curse of Frankenstein has beautiful colors and adapts well to the 19th century style.

Before it was made, horror films were tame and primitive, but this one went a notch above the usual by showcasing many features that weren't seen before, especially in color.

Peter Cushing is a surprise when I was anticipating him to be in the likes of Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, but he resembles nothing like them. Robert Urquhart is a perfect imitation of Alec Guinness. The way he said "madness" reminds me of The Bridge on the River Kwai.

All in all, The Curse of Frankenstein is probably the best Frankenstein movie made.
