My memory is hazy; last I saw Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed I think it was 2000 or 2001 on either SciFi or AMC. Now I'll have to go get the DVD! But I do recall it is a slower pace and much more serious than Hammer's other Frankenstein films.

SPOILER: no monster. Or should I say no creature. For it is Cushing's Baron Victor Frankenstein that is the monster here, moreso than ever. A total sadist, conducting an experiment with brains among unwilling participants.

Some critics apparently thought it was on the dull side, but I remember it being quite good. Of course, memory is kind. And I have a soft spot for Cushing, who gets a lot of screen time in this one. Others out there who have seen it? Your thoughts?
