frankenstein created woman (1967)

aka Frankenstein Made Woman .
Baron Frankenstein is back and this time he tries reviving a woman. He comes into possession of the body of a young woman with a deformed face. To revive it he needs a soul. And what do you know a young man has just been executed, for crimes he didn't commit. Bobs your uncle and the Baron has revived her. Only this being a Hammer film you know it's going to go wrong.
Cushing manages to carry yet another Hammer, with a great performance. The plot moves away from the usual monster script and provides an interesting twist with the addition of a metaphysical angle. A fine Gothic horror, just the right side of cartoonish.
