Songs Modern Cutting Cake

Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell by Terence Fisher (UK - 1974) Doll Graveyard

The young Simon Helder (Shane Briant) is a surgeon, rival of the infamous deeds dell'arcinoto Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), now believed dead and buried. Through the manuscripts of the latter, profane tombs and conducts bizarre experiments at autopsy inconclusive and repellant order to extract from his mice organs such as heart, brain, limbs to create an artificial being. But a blitz of local police in the laboratory where such amenities ideavano behind tip from an old drunk, causing the arrest and imprisonment for witchcraft in the new surgeon in a criminal asylum. Interned just find that the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein is still in life under the pseudonym of Carl Victor and has never abandoned his inhuman experiments. In addition, the attending physician of the asylum and he is assigned full powers and responsibilities. Guinea pigs of its abominable intentions? The patients of the asylum .



I never exceeded the veneration towards uncontrolled movies hammer. Characterized by distinctive pervading but also by disastrous scenarios with prologues blunt, closed too short and barely sketched characters, I was never allowed to throw too much in praise. Take the famous of Dracula Terence Fisher . Film that has placed the seed of his success in the pillars of the horror film world ( Christoper Lee, Peter Chushing ) but that did not planning to script the first few minutes not impressed the slightest credibility to his characters, vehicles to and by not forgetting to give Harker ever so bland the necessary importance to enable it to be a key pawn in the continuation of the story. It creates the most basic assumptions of the danger and multipercettivi and consequently those appendages of the threat (the count), it all ends with the smell of fake, in fact, stuffed. To no avail to object that is a film of fifty years ago (also FW Murnau's Nosferatu has been through the spring but has never bowed to coarseness of the first order). The film is incomplete, incomplete, by underestimating. Definitely better, and with fewer resources, will Jesus Franco giving to posterity a transposition respectful, and flashes dream extraordinary visual inventiveness, or - and stay in theme - Alan Gibson, combining present-day reality of the metropolis and Victorian classicism of the time lost in what is the best vampire Count on the transposition of Hammer: Dracula 1972 Strikes Back. You could write an essay on the flaws of the film in question but the exception that proves the rule and tries to overcome the corrosion mechanisms of the production is just English and Frankenstein Monster From Hell ( of Frankenstein and the Monster ' hell for the native market DVD) filmed in Britain in the '70s, a sort of precursor to subrogation Lynchie elephant man the creature of the mad Baron. The Inhuman experiments that surround the freak - here a beast covered with hair look like it was such an angry ape - its been to make the genetic changes due to the massive amounts of drugs by the ruthless scientist iniettategli his master and decreed the mad momentum towards the tracks of his darkest and most introspective side: that of a new puppet victim of manipulation, sad, sad intended victim to uncontrolled experiments for the advancement of science. Forget the standard icon Hammer & Universal two meters high and bolts glued to his temples. The deviation from the main matrix of the creature created by Mary Shelley makes the film Terence Fisher pioneering a range that allowed very little innovation. The remaining charges but are always the same: beautiful royal hues never so dark, monster to turn executioner / victim of the situation and masterful acting dell'inossidabile icon, in this case a beautiful Peter Cushing. You do not even begrudge scenes - at the time - high-impact, note the transfusion of brains and eyes gouged out by patients. Final unusual for once let it be to drop the curtain of suspense, rather than inability.

Review Salvatore Mennea .
