SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

O2D Here we go with another terrible Frankenstein movie. This time he must once again flee the town he is in, never saw that coming. He makes the insane decision to go back to his old castle and he expects it to be the way he left it ten years ago. Him being shocked that the castle was empty was mind blowing to me. And it's the major plot device of this sad movie. Frankenstein isn't afraid to walk around the town because there is a carnival going on so no one will look at him. His sidekick is nervous so he buys them masks from a convenient mask street vendor. So they go into a bar wearing masks and he demands that they cook for him. Then he sees a guy wearing his jewelry and he goes nutzoid. Did I mention that he tells a twenty minute story explaining how he got to this point and it is one hundred percent different than anything that happened in the first two movies? 0 stars

simeon_flake A lot of mixed reviews for this one--I'm not sure if it's because this is the one that seems to copy the old Universal Frankensteins more than any other film in the Hammer series. Reprotedly, Universal also gave Hammer permission to use the old monster makeup--explaining Kiwi Kingston's look.Nevertheless, I enjoyed it--hell, I would say it's the best of the series that I've seen so far. Just an educated guess on my part as far as the storyline--but, still not having seen "The Revenge of Frankenstein,"--I'm guessing the story for "Evil" is totally new and thus probably free of any nagging continuity as far as how the Baron is back again. But--as I've said elsewhere--sometimes the simplest explanation is that these movies were popular and the public wanted more. Just see the followup, "Frankenstein Created Woman."10 stars...

bkoganbing Peter Cushing after starring werewolf, mummy, vampire films for British Hammer Productions now takes a second crack at playing Dr. Frankenstein as he comes back to his former estate that we saw in The Curse Of Frankenstein. A big chunk of the first film is in this one lest you forget what occurred back then. That flashback follows along the same lines as the original Frankenstein film with Boris Karloff and Colin Clive. Frankenstein has to flee as a result of the havoc his born again creature has caused.Returning home with his assistant Sandor Eles he finds the Frankenstein estate totally cleaned out. Soon enough Cushing finds that even his clothes and furniture were confiscated by the Burgomeister and the Chief of Police. But his creature is found and if he can be revived once he can do it again.But to do so he's forced into a bad partnership with a carnival hypnotist played by Peter Woodthorpe. He's good at his trade, but not of good character. Woodthorpe has his own agenda and the Frankenstein monster will help him achieve it.I do so love those old Universal horror gothics and Hammer for a newer and franker age remade them with a lot more blood and gore. It's a prejudice I freely admit to. Peter Cushing is fine in the title role of the doctor and Woodthorpe is a truly slimy villain. But it will never take the place of Boris Karloff and those wonderful films he did with Universal.
