Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell*
GB 1973. Avco/Hammer. 89m. bw
A disciple of Dr. Frankenstein is sentenced to the asylum where he finds his mentor is still at work incognito.
The last of the Hammer Frankensteins, finishing off in lurid style. Unpleasant in tone and indicative of the increasing gratuitousness of the Hammers series since 1957, but a vast improvement on their preceding horrors, with the old guard giving it one last go.
Written by: John Elder (Anthony Hinds).
Producer: Roy Skeggs.
Director: Terence Fisher.
Starring: Peter Cushing, Shane Briant, Madeline Smith, David Prowse, John Stratton, Charles Lloyd Pack, Patrick Troughton, Bernard Lee.
Photography: Brian Probyn.
Music: James Bernard.

I must watch this film at some point!
Sounds ok.
I'm continuing to collect Hammer / Tygon / Amicus films - I find most of them very entertaining. Shame I missed recording "The House that Dripped Blood" the other night from The Horror Channel (they have been showing a lo of these films recently) - no matter, it'll be on again, or I can pick up the disc.
