The Curse of Frankenstein

A daring scientist. A forbidden experiment. A creation that should never have lived.

Victor Frankenstein’s obsession with conquering death drives him to assemble a man from the remains of the dead — and bring him back to life. But his triumph quickly turns to terror when his monstrous creation rebels, leaving chaos and bloodshed in its wake.

This groundbreaking production marked Hammer Films’ first foray into colour — and the first major roles for Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, who became icons of horror. A runaway box office hit, it ignited the Hammer Horror legacy and inspired generations of filmmakers, from Tim Burton to Martin Scorsese.

The film that electrified audiences — and changed horror forever.
