  • “Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr
    Short Review: “Frankenstein Created Woman” (1966) by Dr. John L. Flynn Frankenstein Created Woman (1966). Hammer Films/Great Britain, 86 min. Director: Terence Fisher. Producer: Anthony Nelson Keyes. Screenwriter: John Elder (Anthony Hinds). Cast: Peter Cushing, Susan Denberg, Thorley Walters, Robert Morris, Duncan Lamont, Peter Blythe, Alan McNaughton, Peter Madden, and Derek Fowlds. Baron Frankenstein (Cushing) and his monster were resurrected by Hammer for a fourth time in this installment that finds the mad doctor determined to endow his new creation with a soul. When a young man (Morris) wrongly accused of murder is sent to the guillotine, and his crippled lover, Christina (Playboy centerfold Denberg), grief-stricken with his death, drowns herself in the river, Frankenstein fuses the young man's soul with the woman’s shapely, bikini-clad body. But before he can share his research with the world, the Creature sets off to avenge the two young people's deaths. With the body of a woman and the soul of a man, the monster first seduces, then gruesomely kills those responsible. In the end, faced with tremendous guilt, the Creature throws itself into the river, while Frankenstein watches helplessly, unable to save it from drowning. Sexy and very erotic, this was one of Hammer Films most successful later projects. Denberg is stunning as the Baron’s new creation, and well worth the price of admission. The film was followed three years later by “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed!” Copyright 2014 by John L. Flynn, Ph.D. .

  • British Horror Cinema
    Running head recto i British Horror Cinema Horror is one of the most popular and talked-about film genres and yet British horror films, aside from those made by Hammer, have received little critical attention. British Horror Cinema investigates a wide range of horror film-making in Britain, from early chillers like The Ghoul and Dark Eyes of London to modern classics such as Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man. Contributors explore the contexts in which British horror films have been censored and classified, judged by critics and consumed by fans. Uncovering neglected gems like Death Line, and addressing issues such as the representation of women and the family, they consider the Britishness of British horror and examine sub-genres such as the psycho-thriller and witchcraft movies, the work of the Amicus studio, and key film-makers including Pete Walker. British Horror Cinema also features a comprehensive filmography and contributions from contemporary horror directors Clive Barker and Richard Stanley. Contributors: Brigid Cherry, Steve Chibnall, Ian Conrich, Leon Hunt, Peter Hutchings, Mark Kermode, Kim Newman, Marcelle Perks, Julian Petley, Steven Jay Schneider, L.S. Smith, Richard Stanley, John C. Tibbetts, Paul Wells. Editors: Steve Chibnall is Principal Lecturer in Film Studies at De Montfort University, Leicester.
