Death has never stopped anyone from crafting a sequel to a successful film, but Terence Fisher and screenwriter Jimmy Sangster rather ingeniously twist the climactic execution of The Curse of Frankenstein into the opening of The Revenge of Frankenstein. With a cold-blooded flourish that would become his trademark, Frankenstein plots his escape and sends an innocent (a priest, no less) to take his place on the guillotine, leaving himself free to continue his experiments. As the new head of a hospital for the poor, he builds a body for his crippled assistant from parts amputated from his patients, but body battles mind for supremacy and turns the newly ambulatory man into a bloodthirsty cannibal. Once again Fisher makes the most of a constricted budget, turning his poorhouse hospital into a cramped, dank hole and splurging on another colorful laboratory of buzzing devices and a centerpiece tank for his suspended creature. There are few innocents in the Frankenstein films and this is no different: high-society dandies are hypocrites, poorhouse patients thieves and opportunists, and of course the driven doctor is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to achieve his goal. The clever conclusion, which lays the groundwork for the next sequel, was curiously ignored when the third installment finally arrived six years later in The Evil of Frankenstein. --Sean Axmaker

 the house of horror did it right. November 2, 2008
This is simply put a great movie that focuses on Doctor Frankenstien and his ruthless desire to conquer death. It is well acted and each character is a fully rounded person. They did everything right when they made this movie and it looks great. The whole series of hammers frankenstien films were very good and stand at the top of any movie series with that name. Mary shelley herself would reconize this doctor and approve of this movie if she was still with us. The picture looks great and you won't regret watching the great Peter Cushing deliver his
well crafted and understandable performance as the doctor. Who is not mad instead he is driven to do what he does. Check out any hammer frankenstien movie and you will enjoy it.

Revenge Of Frankenstein is the great sequel and follow up to The Curse Of Frankenstein made by Hammer horror films and starring Peter Cushing in the role of Victor Stein, the film has a very nice and gothic atmosphere to it and has a great storyline that basically continues where the last one left off. After facing the execution for the deaths caused by the creature he has created the baron was able to escape the guillotine at the very last moment with the help of a hunchbacked assistant called Fritz and a corrupt executioner. His place on the chopping block is instead taken by a priest, he is soon back to starting his own experiments and medical practice under the name of Stein where he starts harvesting the body parts of his clients to create a new body for his assistant Fritz but sooner than later his secret is revealed and all hell breaks loose. This was a pretty good film in the Frankenstein films done by Hammer and it was also directed by Terrence Fisher who made some successful and popular films for Hammer and is also responsible for making both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee into international stars, I highly recommend this film to all British horror fans and two thumbs up!.

This sequel to Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein begins where the first installment ends. I really enjoyed this film as Dr. Frankenstein seems to have everything right this time for his latest humanoid creation........or does he? Not too much blood or cleavage this time around but, a very interesting well written story. The "Monster" is not as hideous in this entry as he was in the first picture but, I found his presence frightning when he turns violent. A solid effort in the Hammer Frankenstein Franchise. The DVD transfer looks very good with minimal extras.
