Though short on chills and thrills, Hammer Studio's third, handsomely mounted period horror movie confirmed that they'd discovered a formula for hitting the international jackpot. It's therefore a bloody landmark in British movie history. [02 Aug 1999, p.10]
As in the first, THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, he concentrates upon the figure of Cushing as basically a well-meaning doctor who runs a charity hospital but is the victim of undue prejudice. The gory effects, however, come out the same, with this one surpassed in its shocking effects perhaps only by Warhol's version.
