This movie essentially picks up where the previous film, "The Curse of Frankenstein" ended with "Dr. Victor Frankenstein" (Peter Cushing) being led to the gallows as punishment for creating the monster that killed several innocent people. However, something happens just moments before the guillotine strikes and he manages to escape. Three years later we find that he has fled to Germany and continues his practice under the name "Dr. Stein". With him is his loyal servant "Karl" (Michael Gwynn) and a capable young doctor with a thirst for knowledge by the name of "Dr. Hans Kleve" (Francis Matthews). Unfortunately, although things are going smoothly at first, the dynamic changes when a beautiful young woman named "Margaret" (Eunice Grayson) volunteers to lend her services to the patients under his care. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film turned out to be a good addition to the Frankenstein legacy with good acting and the necessary morbid atmosphere required for a movie of this type. Slightly above average.
