Trailer - The Curse of Frankenstein - 1957

The Curse of Frankenstein is a 1957 British horror film by Hammer Film Productions, loosely based on the 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.[7] It was Hammer's first colour horror film, and the first of their Frankenstein series.[8] Its worldwide success led to several sequels, and it was also followed by new versions of Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959), establishing "Hammer Horror" as a distinctive brand of Gothic cinema.[9]

The film was directed by Terence Fisher and stars Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Creature, with Hazel Court and Robert Urquhart.[7] Professor Patricia MacCormack called it the "first really gory horror film, showing blood and guts in colour".[10]
