the curse of frankenstein stick faithfully to mary shelley story for one word of the title and which wouldn not be so bad if the change be any good at all . the tragedy of the creature destroy frankenstein family have be completely excise and replace with . nothing . the heart and moral centre of the story be go . it doesn not help that this frankenstein be a conniving and devious murderer while he deserve everything he get . the plot be basically a shallow checklist of frankenstein clichés . even take on it own term and this be rubbish represent a bland and rambling film feature a shite look creature with a pudding bowl haircut . a it the first of hammer horror film and direct by terence fisher and star peter cushing and christopher lee and it place in horror history be secure . but it crap .
