Why It Rocks

 * 1) Amazing performance from all of the actors, especially Peter Cushing as Doctor Frankenstein.
 * 2) Frankenstein himself is much different than normal. In the classic Universal films, he's typically seen as a brilliant scientist who doesn't quite understand what he's getting himself into. Here, he's a vile sociopath who's so obsessed with his experiments that he's even willing to resort to murder to ensure that they succeed. It also allows us to see a darker side of the doctor.
 * 3) Like with the classic Universal films, the laboratory set looks incredibly cool and interesting.
 * 4) Despite being very malicious, the monster is still sympathetic to a certain degree, which helps it remain relatable.
 * 5) The look of the monster is also really cool and creative.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) None of the characters aside from Frankenstein himself are that interesting or complex.

Reception
The Revenge of Frankenstein has a 92% critic rating and a 67% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 3.4/5 on Letterboxd, and a 6.9/10 on the International Movie Database (IMDB).
