Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed

After a gruesome and exciting start, this film loses steam fast. Peter Cushing never comes off as creepy and evil as I think the film makers wanted him to be… and this is including the tacked on rape scene. His co-stars aren’t any more convincing either. This movie seems to be mostly a hodge podge of ideas and missed opportunities. However, I did like the cringe inducing (yet bloodless) brain surgery bit.
