the evil of frankenstein (1964)

"I realized long ago that the only way to prove my theories was to make something in my laboratory that actually lived. I never told you, Hans... I succeeded once."
Baron Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), with his assistant Hans (Sandor Elès), return to his ancestral castle, to continue his experiments. Luckily he finds the creature (Kiwi Kingston) he had previously working on and manages to bring it back to life. But its brain seems not to work properly, and Frankenstein decides to bring in the mesmerist, Zoltan (Peter Woodthorpe), to kick start the creatures brain. Unfortunately Zoltan, now in control of the creature, secretly sends it to steal gold and take vengeance on those that have wronged him.
The continuing saga of Frankenstein, sees a commendable performance from Cushing, in this entertaining film, but it is possibly the worst creature make up so far! Being a crude approximation of the Universal Creature make up from the original films.
