Y Frankenstein creó a la mujer

Attempting to continue his experiments, the Baron finds that the opportunity to transfer the soul of a young man into a recently-deceased young woman instead sets her out to avenge the group who framed him for death and causing him to try to stop her.

Overall this one was quite decent if slightly flawed. Among the finer points here are the rather fun experiments being conducted for there's plenty of time here working in the lab to complete matters fully throughout here. The opening attempts to bring him back to life from being in the freezer is quite nice by setting up the later work here with the soul that comprises the middle here where he begins going through the different resources possible for his contraptions here to bring that along even further along with the actual transference procedure where they bring about the change-over here of having the two changing his soul into their equipment and then into the girl for another really enjoyable sequence. The later scenes here of them getting her through the recovery process which includes the walking around learning to how to walk and the gratification of the changes made to her appearance due to the change as well as the return to the guillotine which brings about the shock of the opening death of the father there which is all quite fun here. The revenge part here is even better with the person talking in voices and switching into the other voice here to signify the changes as the tense stalking in the pub and out into the countryside as she goes after the last one on the picnic in the woods here so there's a rather fine series of kills in here. These here give this one enough to like overall that it holds off the few flaws within. The main issue here is that there's so little actual horror in here that it can feel very dull at times with the film really holding back how quickly paced this really could've been as a lot of what happens isn't too scary. The majority of time here isn't all that scary here with the continued ramifications of his father's past connecting with his own future from all the townspeople, their budding romance and another instance where the villagers are indeed afraid of the Baron through his reputation but aren't capable of doing anything about it here which in itself is yet another big flaw here as all of these here found throughout the first half just don't make this into much of a horror film. These here are just so bland that, though they do serve as the cause of the revenge later on, it just drags on for quite a while here taking it's time with the overloading these points that becomes very bland overall, and is one of the biggest issues here. Once again, the distrustful natives isn't too original being here, while the other big flaw here is the really abrupt ending which is such a sadden stop that it's hard to believe nothing more involved wasn't used here as it seems to be mere seconds after the revenge is taken that there's the chase and then the ending which for once could've used some stretching out here to really take advantage of what's going on. Otherwise, this one is a lot of fun.

Today's Rating/PG-13: Violence and the aftermath of a sexual encounter.

Peter Cushing returns as Baron Frankenstein in the fourth and possibly strongest of Hammers Frankenstein movies. Directed by Terence Fisher, it sees Susan Denberg killing herself after seeing her lover unjustly framed for murder and guillotined. She is resurrected by the Baron and his assistant (played by Thorley Walters), with her lover's soul in her, and sets off to avenge his death. Hammer went for something different here, the focus being on the metaphysical dimensions of Frankenstein's work as opposed to the physical, such as the question of the soul, and its relationship to the body. Critics seemed to hate it, but it has an army of fans including Martin Scorsese, who picked the movie as part of a 1987 National Film Theatre season of his favourite films. Released the same year as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Summer of Love, this movie has some very far out notions upon which its plot hangs, yet it never descends into campiness or melodrama, and is just a great Peter Cushing Frankenstein film.

Dr. Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) has discovered how to contain the soul of somebody after they had died. His helper Hans (Robert Morris) is (unjustly) found guilty of a murder committed by three other men and guillotined. Hans' girlfriend Christina (Susan Denberg) kills herself. Frankenstein saves Hans' soul and puts it in her. She comes out as a beautiful woman but has Hans thirst for revenge...

As you can see logic does not play a strong role in this picture. For one thing Denberg is introduced as a dark haired, horribly scarred woman. After the "operation" she's blond-haired and looks perfect! Also, when she goes out to kill the men responsible for Hans death, she seems to know EXACTLY where they'll be (I love how she just guessed that Johann would be in a coach and it would break down). Still, Hammer films were never strong on logic so this can be forgiven. Also there's some dreadful day-for-night shooting (another Hammer trademark). Despite all this I DO love this film. It moves quickly and has some pretty bloody scenes (for 1967). There's also a flash of nudity in a bedroom scene.

The acting is very good. Thorley Walters gives a good performance as Dr. Hertz; Morris is actually pretty good as Hans; even Denberg isn't bad (although her voice was dubbed). Best of all, of course, is Peter Cushing. He plays Frankenstein to perfection showing the doctors obsession with creating life.

One of the better Hammer Frankenstein movies. Just turn off your mind and enjoy. I give it an 8.

The fourth film of Hammer's awesome Frankenstein series, legendary director Terence Fisher's "Frankenstein Created Woman" of 1967 is another creepy and excellent Hammer gem, and my personal favorite film in the series. Movies like this are reason enough to admire both Fisher as Hammer's most important director and leading man Peter Cushing as one of the greatest Horror icons in the history of motion pictures. Once again, Cushing stars as the ingenious and very unorthodox scientist Baron Victor Frankenstein, exceedingly dedicated to the acquisition of corpses for his eerie obsession of resurrecting the dead by means of rather macabre methods...

I will not give any parts of the plot away, but I can assure that Hammer fans will not be disappointed by this one. Mad science, disfigurement, body snatching, resurrection, insanity and an adequate amount of blood, suspense and eeriness, as well as some very humorous scenes, "Frankenstein Created Woman" has it all. The movie provides the typical eerie Hammer-style score and photography, and therefore maintains the creepy and great atmosphere Hammer-fans love to see. Peter Cushing's performance as the macabre Baron is excellent as always, and beautiful Susan Denberg was a great choice for the female lead. Thorley Walters furthermore fits very well in his role of Frankenstein's colleague in (mad) science, Doctor Herz. "Frankenstein Created Woman" is a brilliant Horror-gem that comes with my highest possible recommendations. Along with the dark and gruesome "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell", this is my personal favorite of Hammer's Frankenstein series, and it also ranks among my Top 10 out of all Hammer films. This is pure Gothic Horror gold that no Horror fan could possibly afford to miss!

Susan Denberg was a Playboy Playmate in 1966, and had four screen appearances, before she went back to Europe. She becomes Dr. Frankenstein's latest subject.

Each of these films seem to get more and more elaborate as Dr. Frankenstein stretches the bounds of science. Of course, one has to believe in the existence of a soul to follow his logic, but that is his definition of life.

After her boyfriend Hans (Robert Morris) is unjustly executed for a murder committed by three spoiled rich kids, Christina (Denberg) takes her own life. But, Frankenstein works his magic and puts Hans soul into Christina and the horror begins as they take their revenge.
