The Curse Of Frankenstein was incredible on the cinema screen. The 4K restoration was stunning. A glorious gothic horror and I don’t think anyone played a callous bastard as good as Peter Cushing does here.

Truly glad I got to see on of my favourite Hammer films on the big screen.

Tonight's cinema going is a classic, Hammer's The Curse Of Frankenstein.
