	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN
		Although it was intended as a remake of the classic Universal Monster movie, THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN is actually far closer to Mary Shelley's novel than its famous cinematic predecessor.
		THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN stars Peter Cushing as Baron Victor Frankenstein, whose obsession with pushing the boundaries of medical science are only equaled by his arrogance and indifference to the people around him.
		However, Frankenstein is not content with just bringing a person back from the dead, he wants to bestow life on his own synthetic human being- created from the best bits and pieces that he can assemble.

	Cinescape - Home - Editorial
		CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, would be a full-color reworking of the story from the ground up, borrowing almost none of the Universal trappings.
		Unlike the basically good Colin Clive of the Universal pictures, Cushing’s Frankenstein is perfectly willing to kill innocents to steal their body parts (he offs a kindly old professor to gain a prodigious brain), and indeed to kill inconvenient people by locking them in with the monster.
		CURSE, though, launches a sprawling series: not the first Hammer Studios film, but it was the very first Hammer Gothic, the first to introduce the Hammerscape, the weird, colorful, stagy Euro-Britain where almost every Hammer film takes place afterwards.

	The Curse of Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Peter Cushing plays Dr. Frankenstein as the rational scientist turned cold-blooded criminal in his campaign to discover the secret of life, committing murder to further his ends, or to remove an inconvenient mistress.
		The not-so-good Dr. Frankenstein is the true monster, a ruthless scientist whose rejection of superstition extends to all moral considerations.
		Shot in blood-red color by Hammer stalwart Terence Fisher, the stylish, often salacious film became Hammer's biggest success to date, made horror stars out of the classically trained Cushing and Lee, and transformed the B studio into the Hammer we know and love today: the house that dripped blood.

		Paul stops helping his friend, but continues to live in the house because of his concerns for the welfare of Elizabeth who is betrothed to Frankenstein and has no inkling of his activities.
		There's a very small cast in this one; a maid makes the mistake of flmailing Frankenstein out of jealousy, and Elizabeth seems to be present simply so that she can scream and be attacked at the appropriate moment.

		But, as anyone familiar with Frankenstein's multiple incarnations in literature and in film already know, Victor's hubris, his unremitting desire to play God, and his egocentric belief that moral laws aren't applicable to him or his experiments, results in a series of missteps and desires.
		The Curse of Frankenstein, while boasting meticulously designed sets, including Frankenstein's baroque laboratory, and a gripping, convincing performance by Peter Cushing, falls measurably short in providing audiences with an engaging “monster,” or in suitably building and resolving conflict between the various characters.
		The monster's makes his first escape, complete with a change of clothes (he may be brain-damaged, but he apparently knows how to dress himself) is quickly resolved (his encounter with a blind man has little of the pathos of the earlier film, with the monster responding violently to the blind man's fears).

		Here we get a new take on the familiar Frankenstein myth with the young Frankenstein coming from a fatherless background and embracing only science and reason with any real conviction.
		Finally when a breakthrough comes, the Young master will stop at nothing to achieve the fame, glory and notoriety he desires--his lack of regard for others is frightening even to his mentor Paul Krempe(played excellently by Robert Urquhart)who warns him against tampering with the forces of nature and that nothing good will come from it.
