Today I received a Blu-ray copy of Hammer Horror's The Evil of Frankenstein, for me this is a lesser Frankenstein film, the back story for The Evil of Frankenstein departs from what was established in the previous films in the series, today I guess we would be calling it a reboot rather than a sequel.
Peter Cushing stars once again as Baron Frankenstein and as usual gives an excellent performance but he is let down by a weak story and a poorly realised monster.
The Blu-ray of The Evil of Frankenstein is a bit of a mixed bag, while there is much more detail in the picture than there is in my DVD version of the movie, the picture is riddled with dirt and speckling in places which was disappointing to see, it's a shame some restoration work wasn't done on the movie, it's certainly watchable but as always it's a shame that little extra effort couldn't have been put into this release.
