Coming at the tail end of Hammer Studios' Frankestein cycle (it was preceeded by the classic CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN, and FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED), HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN takes the familiar story in a much different direction than its predecessors. The film finds young Victor Frankenstein (Bates) becoming fed up with his boorish father and his boring classes. Longing to escape to Vienna to experiment in his lab, Victor offs his father and quits school. Soon Victor has successfully re-animated a turtle and begins work on his ultimate creation--a human made out of dead body parts. Taking place in a vaguely mod-ish 18th century where the characters carry on as if they were London during the swingin' 1960s, HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN has its tongue planted firmly in cheek.

A la media hora, revive sólo a la tortuga. Pero hay dos mujeres con testas correteando por ahí, una de las cuales (la morena) cocina y le hace compañía y la otra (la rubia) le quiere platónicamente. Junto a ellos, la trama, lenta y escasa, es animada por un creciente número de cadáveres: este Víctor es una mierda condescendiente y no le perdona a nadie. El monstruo bien musculado, pero con los ojos de un buen tipo, es cualquier cosa menos «terror». El final es imaginativo, pero insatisfactorio tras la larga travesía por la basura.

Repeated joke is no longer a joke, and so is repeated horror no longer horror. Studio Hammer overall relied on the fact that individual films, not only in the Frankenstein series but also in the Dracula and Mummy series, will actually be the same thing, just in a slightly different guise. This eventually leads to the fact that these films simply become repetitive after some time. They are never completely bad, but the repetition gets boring.
