Last of the Hammer Frankenstein films, this one deals with the Baron hiding out in an insane asylum, so that he may continue his experiments with reanimating the dead, along with inmate Dr. Helder, who has been institutionalized for conducting such experiments. (Paramount Pictures)

Despite its lack of innovation, still a pretty decent conclusion of Hammer Studios’ Frankenstein series. I enjoyed Peter Cushing’s comeback into the main role and also, I was interested in the madhouse set, where the baron is hiding; this part strongly reminds me of "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" by Edgar Allan Poe. The appearance of the ‘monster from hell’, however, is far removed from the original Frankenstein monsters. Perhaps this was intentional, but I was under the permanent impression I was actually watching a hairy alien from Robot Monster. I can confidently recommend the first two parts of the saga. For the rest, horror fans will decide for themselves – but this one cannot hurt.

Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell is the final instance in the trajectory of this series at Hammer Studios, and it's a farewell that's somewhat typical. Throughout its run, the series essentially didn't evolve, but they managed to keep creating new monsters. In this case, the monster portrayed by David Prowse, who also played Darth Vader, is interesting. The film, however, mostly bathes in the mediocrity of this theme.
