Rating: 3 out of 10, Cushing is back as the diabolical Baron in this completely silly story that is played straight and an actually pretty well done horror flick. The Baron is seemingly penniless and living in the upstairs loft of a friend where he freezes himself solid and shoots at champagne glasses in his spare time. His trusted assistant is wrongly guillotined which gives the Baron a chance to reanimate his soul into the body of a comely young lady following some obligatory post mortem plastic surgery. Of course the reanimated babe immediately goes on a vengeful killing spree instead of admiring his new female form. You can see Hammer Studios starting to lose their way here.
MVP: Morris as the soon to be headless hero Hans
