This is perhaps more a psychological thriller than the other Hammer Horror flix. There are no supernatural beings. The only monsters are living, breathing human beings doing horrible things to others.
Peter Cushing stars as Baron Frankenstein, but it is a different character than seen with prior Frankensteins, including those played by Cushing. And Cushing shows a different character than we have seen from him before. His character actually commits a rape.
Again and again characters take the exact wrong move, leaving the viewer wondering, What if?
7.5-8/10

One of the best of the Hammer retools of the Universal creature pantheon. Freddie Jones adds to this one immeasurably with a performance that gives real pathos and depth to the 'monster'.
