''Frankenstein and The Monster from Hell'' (1974)

By Crusader1307

Hammer Films last (7th) in it's Frankenstein Horror Film franchise, ''Frankenstein and The Monster From Hell'' was made in 1974. Not a huge Hit, but garnering some praise – the Cult Classic starred Peter Cushing as the titular Doctor. Set in an Insane Asylum, Frankenstein (due to His Medical Skill), becomes both inmate and Facility Doctor. Not giving up on His dream of perfecting the ''perfect'' Creation, He is soon joined by a young inmate ad fellow Doctor (who idolized Frankenstein's exploits). The two begin to ''work again'' – this time murdering inmates and using their body parts to create a hulking, ape-like being. Typically, The Monster ''loses it'' and begins to murder the surviving inmates. Only after an inmate mob rids the asylum of The Creature, does Frankenstein (still unphased) – begin to plan His next experiment....... Hammer finished the series in large part to Cushing's age and the fact that the source material was somewhat played out. Beyond this, the film is an okay end to the franchise – with Frankenstein still locked up for life. Still available on several mediums, ''Frankenstein and The Monster From Hell'' isn't a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
