Viewing Notes

Weird portrayal of Victor Frankenstein being a complete arrogant asshole and lacking any compassion or empathy (sounds familiar). Positioning this tale as a farce doesn’t really work when there’s nothing to make the main character likable. tbh the real highlight are the gorgeous Hammer women (Veronica Carlson and Kate O’Mara) and David Prowse as the Monster. As soon as I saw him I knew it was Prowse and it still amuses me that this guy was doing throwaway roles in B-movies until casted as Darth Vader.
