Frankenstein Created Woman is a 1967 British Hammer horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing and Susan Denberg.

Years after witnessing his father being executed by guillotine, Hans is working as an assistant to Dr Victor Frankenstein, who survived the destruction of his castle in the last film.

Hans is also the lover of Christina, daughter of cowardly innkeeper Kleve, whose entire left side is disfigured and partly paralysed.

Meanwhile, Hans spends the night with Christina, and, in the morning, watches her leave on the stagecoach to visit another doctor her father has paid, to find out if there is a treatment to help her.

Since the coat Dr Hertz had given him is found by the body, and the police heard him angrily threaten Kleve the night before, Hans is immediately a suspect in the murder and is arrested.

"[4] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is thirty-two years since the creative Baron last applied himself to the intricacies of female construction, but this new enterprise in no respect matches James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein.

It could reasonably be expected from the title that the pièce de résistance would be the creation of the woman, but by an unusual quirk of obstinacy this is the very point in the story that is casually glossed over, and the script is more concerned with the gory murder spree which follows in the wake of Christina's restoration.

It is the pre-credits sequence, in fact – the guillotining of Hans's father – which really sets the tone, for of genuine Frankensteiniana there is little beyond the Baron's initial resuscitation.

The laboratory paraphernalia is steam-puffing and picturesque, with a nice line in parabolic mesh, but the poverty of the script is little compensation for loss of the old tradition.

Terence Fisher's neat balance of psychological horror and murky sexuality makes this a fine addition to the genre.

Among the highlights is an audio commentary with actors Robert Morris and Derek Fowlds, moderated by Hammer expert Jonathan Rigby.
