If you loved Night of the Big Heat, try Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Terence Fisher, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Night of the Big Heat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell is

The asylum’s padded walls hush a wet March. A scalpel scrapes bone. A disgraced surgeon meets the asylum’s director, an exile from old experiments. Under flickering bulbs they stitch a corpse from stolen parts, choosing the screaming as fresh flesh. Fisher conjures gothic dread in 74′ British horror.
