comment |
The Horror of Frankenstein is a 1970 British horror film by Hammer Film Productions that is both a semi-parody and remake of the 1957 film The Curse of Frankenstein. It features David Prowse as the monster.The genius but cold and arrogant Victor Frankenstein (Ralph Bates) starts a series of experiments involving the revival of the dead. He eventually builds and brings to life a composite body from human parts, but it isn't long before the creature goes on a homicidal rampage.The last installment in Hammer's Frankenstein series would follow in 1974’s Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (which is a sequel to 1969’s Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed and is NOT a sequel to The Horror of Frankenstein). |

Adaptational Villainy |
| | The Horror of Frankenstein / int_20f689e9 |
comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The film keeps Victor being depicted as much less sympathetic and well-meaning than in the original book or the earlier movies that came from Curse. Despite being Played for Laughs due to being a parody, if anything, he's even more evil here, as he's depicted killing his own father to inherit the family fortune. |
