Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

[3] As much as I enjoy most Hammer horror movies, their Frankenstein series almost always underwhelms me. Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is the fifth film in the series and the fourth to disappoint. (Only 1967's Frankenstein Created Woman is worth…
