One of hammer's most enduring and successful releases, 1958's the revenge of frankenstein was a swift sequel to the curse of frankenstein, their box office smash of the year before. It ushered in hammer's most commercially lucrative period, and secured their new found reputation as purveyors of gruesome gothic horror.expertly and ingeniously re working the classic tale, jimmy sangster's script sees the titular doctor continue his grisly experiments under a new guise in a pauper's hospital. Peter cushing, in sparkling form, clearly relishes the role of dr frankenstein – creating an enduring anti hero that would come to define both hammer's, and his own, on screen personas.4k restoration original mono audio audio commentary with film historians marcus hearn and jonathan rigby 2019audio commentary with horror and fantasy authors stephen jones and kim newmanback from the dead inside 'the revenge of frankenstein' 2019, 20 mins exclusive documentary featuring alan barnes, kevin lyons and jonathan rigby, exploring aspects of the film's productiona frankenstein for the 20th century 2019, 27 mins video essay by film historian kat ellinger and editor dima ballinhammer's women eunice gayson 2019, 8 mins profile of the hammer star by film historian pamela hutchinsonarpeggios of melancholy 2019, 13 mins appreciation of composer leonard salzedo's score by david huckvale, the author of hammer film scores and the musical avant garde outtakes reel 1958, 12 mins, mute rare, unseen on set footagesuper 8 version 8 mins, bw, mute cut down home cinema presentation original theatrical trailer joe dante trailer commentary 2013, 3 mins short critical appreciation image gallery extensive promotional and on set photography, poster art and marketing materialsnew and improved subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
