Trivia
Writer / producer / director Jimmy Sangster was brought in to look at and revise, if necessary, the original screenplay by Jeremy Burnham, and realized that it was essentially The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) all over again, which had been done just a dozen years earlier. Not wanting to do the same movie again, it was his decision to inject all the humor and sex into the script. He didn't commit fully to the project until Hammer Studios agreed to give him the opportunity to direct. See more »Goofs

This film fails to deliver, I am afraid to say, any shocks or inject any new ideas into the Hammer Frankenstein saga. It is a thinly veiled reworking of "The Curse of Frankenstein" with some added sexual antics and a few (failed) jokes. The whole film seems to have been made with a tongue-in-cheek mentality and it shows. Ralph Bates is no replacement for Peter Cushing, although he struggles well with the inept script. Kate O'Mara does a very hammy impression of a yokel temptress and Dave Prowse looks rather ridiculous in an oversized nappy (diaper). On the whole, this is a movie best left alone and is one of the least impressive Hammer horror's.
