I’m not sure why I force myself to compare Hammer films to Universal but it’s no secret that I much prefer Universal horror movies. However, Terence Fisher is far and beyond my favorite director from this studio and I really enjoyed this film.
It’s colorful, straightforward and truthfully has more of a Re-Animator vibe than a Frankenstein one. I’m not saying it’s a body-horror epic, but you know, aesthetically speaking.
It’s Peter Cushing and Terence Fisher, what’s not to like?
