Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1169 words) |
 | Frankenstein discovers that Karl is stealing drugs from the asylum pharmacy to provide for Anna's ailing mother, and thus is able to flmail Anna into evicting her other tenants (he needs the space for a new laboratory) while forcing Karl to become the new Igor. |
| Frankenstein and his two hapless lackeys disappear into the countryside, where Brandt will presumably give up his secret and Dr. F's ambitions will be finally fulfilled. |
| The climax, in which Frankenstein and Brandt engage in a battle of wits (but in a tip of the hat to tradition, it does take place in burning house), is not what one expects from a Frankenstein film. |
| The DVD Journal | Reviews : Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (690 words) |
| Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed was the fifth of six Frankenstein films Hammer made from 1956 on (and it was the fourth directed by Terence Fisher). |
| Frankenstein wants to put his brain in a new body, thus curing Brandt's madness, and then wresting his secrets from him. |
| Since Destroyed is one of the Hammer films most esteemed by students of the studio, one of the scholarly types, such as Howard Maxford or Jonathan Rigby, who have written extensively about Hammer, might have used this forum to expound on why Hammer, or at least this film, is so good. |
