Frankensteins Rache: Directed by Terence Fisher. With Peter Cushing, Francis Matthews, Eunice Gayson, Michael Gwynn. Having escaped execution and assumed an alias, Baron Frankenstein transplants his deformed underling’s brain into a perfect body, but the effectiveness of the process and the secret of his identity soon begin to unravel.

“Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), now just Victor Stein to hide from authorities after escaping the guillotine and killing a priest, cannot stop doing medical experiments, this time transferring a live brain to a corpse. But thereu0026#39;s a side effect he may not like! Tu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ehis film features a u0026quot;dull monsteru0026quot;, says Howard Maxford, but I think he misses the point. You donu0026#39;t need a hulking, deformed creature to be a u0026quot;monsteru0026quot; — science gone wrong can be monstrous enough by itself. When Karl, the man with the transplanted brain, starts feeling the side effects he is every bit as creepy as Boris Karloff ever was.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMaybe not as good as its predecessor, but it starts with a bang and stays strong for its duration.”
