Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
If this is what Hammer thought the kids in 1970 wanted, it's little wonder that kids stayed far away.

Alternate Ending
Rating: 1/4 --
A feeble attempt by Hammer to bring some freshness to its series of Frankenstein films by introducing black humor.

TV Guide
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The film shatters, with awkward horror pitted against rather bland sheepishness. But it was good fun while it lasted. Hammer almost had something special.

Here, with the face of the emerging Ralph Bates at that time, a strange exercise is performed that works as remake and prequel. [Full Review in Spanish]

One of eight Frankenstein films produced by Hammer Films, The Horror of Frankenstein may not prove to be the worst of the lot, but it sure is one of the wackiest.
Apollo Guide
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Sangster's excursion into irony and black comedy under the guise of Gothic horror was a daring step in the right direction, even if that step was somewhat awkward and unsure
Q Network Film Desk
Rating: 7/10 --
It's a faithful tribute to the Shelley characters and legacy and follows the plot line of other adaptations of the novel.

Product Description:
Coming at the tail end of Hammer Studios' Frankestein cycle (it was preceeded by the classic CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN, and FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED), HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN takes the familiar story in a much different direction than its predecessors. The film finds young Victor Frankenstein (Bates) becoming fed up with his boorish father and his boring classes. Longing to escape to Vienna to experiment in his lab, Victor offs his father and quits school. Soon Victor has successfully re-animated a turtle and begins work on his ultimate creation--a human made out of dead body parts. Taking place in a vaguely mod-ish 18th century where the characters carry on as if they were London during the swingin' 1960s, HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN has its tongue planted firmly in cheek.
