...including Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, Elvis_Christ (now ya got me thinking of peanut butter and banana flavored communion wafers), which I agree is often overlooked in the Hammer catalog. Darker and more sadistic than the other films we've been discussing (and later [1969]... which might explain the shift in sensibilities). A coincidence that all three were directed by Terence Fisher? Let's throw out another Fisher flic: Curse of the Werewolf. Gotta tell ya: the rapist beggar at the beginning of that one creeped me out when I was a kid.

One of my favorite Hammer films! I agree about the beggar rapist - it scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it. |

All this talk of Hammer - I just went into my queue in Netflix and loaded up with every Hammer movie they have! Shame I only get 3 movies at a time!:D

Oh and Curse of the Werewolf is also one of my favorites. But I have never seen Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. |

Quote:
SPOILER: no monster. Or should I say no creature. For it is Cushing's Baron Victor Frankenstein that is the monster here, moreso than ever. A total sadist, conducting an experiment with brains among unwilling participants. Some critics apparently thought it was on the dull side, but I remember it being quite good. Of course, memory is kind. And I have a soft spot for Cushing, who gets a lot of screen time in this one. Others out there who have seen it? Your thoughts?
