The Curse of Frankenstein

The Curse of Frankenstein was the first color horror film by Hammer Film Productions as well as their first foray into the classic monsters genre. It's also significant for being the first real pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, who would go on to be two of the biggest names in Hammer horror. The film focuses more on Frankenstein (Cushing) than the Monster (Lee), which is a bit of a departure from what we usually see in Frankenstein adaptations. And the technicolor gore, though tame now, must have been somewhat shocking for audiences in the late 1950s. "I dare say that this film is positively ghastly." "Quite, Sir Reginald. Quite."
