One of Hammers most enduring and successful releases, 1958s The Revenge of Frankenstein was a swift sequel to The Curse of Frankenstein, their box-office smash of the year before. It ushered in Hammers most commercially lucrative period, and secured their new-found reputation as purveyors of gruesome Gothic horror.

Expertly and ingeniously re-working the classic tale, Jimmy Sangsters script sees the titular doctor continue his grisly experiments under a new guise in a paupers hospital. Peter Cushing, in sparkling form, clearly relishes the role of Dr Frankenstein creating an enduring anti-hero that would come to define both Hammers, and his own, on-screen personas.

Från IMDB:
Having escaped execution and assumed an alias, Baron Frankenstein transplants his deformed underlings brain into a perfect body, but the result proves to be mortally perilous.
