This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

In yet another twist on the Frankenstein mythos, the Baron (Peter Cushing) turns a disfigured character into a normal looking human being, while the brain transplant standard is replaced here by a soul transplant. It makes me wonder if James Brown might have been a fan.The first thing I noticed when the Baron was removed from his self imposed cryogenic sleep was how easily his assistant Wertz (Thorley Walters) was able to move his frozen arms away from his chest. But at least the Baron redeemed himself with his latest theory, the idea that one's soul stays with the body for a time if suspended in a death like state. This all comes in handy when another of the Baron's aides is put to death for a murder he didn't commit. When Hans' (Robert Morris) execution by guillotine is witnessed by his girlfriend Christina (Susan Denberg), the distraught young woman commits suicide by drowning.The whole soul transference business didn't make a lot of sense to me but it made for an interesting tale of revenge and murder on the part of the transformed Christina. She takes out the three dandies that ridiculed her and beat her father to death and did it in pretty elegant style if you consider the new look as a blonde bombshell she acquired along with the soul work over.Well I guess none of it has to make any sense if you're a Horror film fan, and coming into this year's Halloween celebration, these flicks were all over the place. There are enough horror elements here for those who like to see blood, and for romance fans, this wouldn't be the first time a guy lost his head over a girl.

I suppose it was inevitable that Hammer would tackle some sort of remake of "The Bride of Frankenstein" at some stage but the not very subtlety titled "Frankenstein Created Woman" goes down a somewhat different route. Firstly it is the Baron himself who is resurrected, (well he was only 'dead' for an hour), by an unlikely Thorley Walters and his handsome, if not very bright, assistant Hans, (Robert Morris), so he can continue with his nefarious schemes. However, this time, instead of some hulking creature he conjures up a sexy and scar-free Susan Denberg into whose body he transposes the soul of the unjustly guillotined Hans. (A nice twist is that Denberg was scarred before being brought back to life rather than after). Given that it could have dipped into the ridiculous at any moment Terence Fisher's film is surprisingly intelligent, (it's got a superb pre-credit sequence and a nicely handled revenge theme). Anthony Hinds wrote the first-rate script under the pseudonym John Elder and once again Peter Cushing proves himself a formidable Dr Frankenstein. It may not be particularly frightening in the conventional sense but it still leaves a clammy feeling nevertheless.

This movie had everything that Hammer and Corman are famous for the technical aspects.The color or tone and shading was a plus The locations were superb. The fact that the film was uninterrupted by svengoolie. In the early days of horror flicks the voices were always just a bit off like the old kungfoo films i really like that. today the horror film producers seem to think that blood and gore is what the audience craves.What about the story we have not had a good story in years for example jekyll and hyde,moby dick,Dracula,sure we have had adaptations of these classic films but no new idea's that takes the viewer's into a what if this did happen frame of mind.I will say that harry potter came close in the first film anything after that was just cashing in on the first one.I know we have the writer's .I believe the studio's the corporations wont give new idea's a chance .they have ruined it just as they have the music business.long story short IS WHATS OLD IS ACTUALLY NEW.

Sweet, but disfigured young Christina (a sympathetic portrayal by the luscious Susan Denberg) commits suicide after her lover Hans (a likable performance by the handsome Robert Morris) gets framed and executed for murder. Baron Victor Frankenstein (superbly played with conviction and dignity by the always reliable Peter Cushing) resurrects Christina from the dead by transforming Hans' soul into her body. However, the new woman created by Frankenstein longs for revenge against those who have wronged her. Director Terence Fisher relates the engrossing story at a stately pace, meticulously crafts a flavorsome period atmosphere, and keeps things classy and involving throughout. The smart script by Anthony Hinds offers an intriguing central debate on the morals and perils of man playing god. The characters are neatly delineated: Hans and Christina make for charming leads while the villains are appropriately mean and hateful. Christina's conflict about her identity adds a surprisingly poignant element of pathos. Thorley Walters contributes a stand-out turn as Frankenstein's kindly and bumbling assistant Dr. Hertz. Peter Blythe likewise excels as ruthless cad main bad guy Anton. Peter Madden makes the most out of his regrettably small part as a stern chief of police. Both Arthur Grant's sharp cinematography and James Bernard's robust score are up to speed. A worthy Hammer item.
