When a burglar breaks into his house, "Baron Frankenstein" (Peter Cushing) is forced to leave town immediately due to some rather disturbing items he had placed inside the cellar. To that end, when he finally reaches his destination he rents a room at a boarding house and proceeds to resume his experiments from there. To further his work he blackmails a young physician named "Karl" (Simon Ward) and his lovely fiancé "Anna" (Veronica Carlson) into helping him. And part of his plan involves kidnapping a colleague named "Dr. Brandt" (George Pravda) who has gone completely insane and is locked up in a well-guarded asylum. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this particular movie put Baron Frankenstein in a much more cruel and evil light than any of the other preceding films of the Frankenstein legacy. At least, that is how it seemed to me. Yet, having said that, I thought this sinister depiction actually helped from a horror aspect and Peter Cushing was certainly able to use this diabolical change to his advantage. Likewise, having a beautiful actress like Veronica Carlson certainly didn't hurt this movie in any way either. In any case, I thought that this was a pretty good horror movie and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
