| Plot |
| Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) revives the dead body of a disfigured girl, Christina (Susan Denberg), who has committed suicide following the wrongful execution of her lover, Hans (Robert Morris), for murder. The Baron's further experiments succeed in transplanting Hans's soul into Christine, who then takes revenge on the young dandies who framed Hans for their own crime.Frankenstein Created Woman is one of the most critically acclaimed Hammer films, with some commentators appreciating its fairy tale atmosphere and revenge plot. Martin Scorsese picked the movie as part of a 1987 National Film Theatre season of his favourite films, saying "If I single this one out it's because here they actually isolate the soul... The implied metaphysics are close to something sublime." |
