Back to 1957 with the first installment in Hammer Horror's Frankenstein series starring none other than the incomparable Peter Cushing! And although it has its limitations, there was still plenty for the guys to enjoy. Who doesn't love a fresh take on a classic anyway? In color, no less! This one was a fan favorite as well, making a ton at the box office and ushering in six more films in the series. Ryan and Tim gave it a kind of middling rating with a "rent" and a "stream" respectively, but don't let that keep you from checking this one out!
