Did You Feel Like Crying When Anna Was Stabbed?


Did any of you feel like crying when poor Anna was stabbed?

Of all the memorable scenes in this classic movie, the murder of Anna is the one that really stands out as being the most shocking and sad.

I didn't feel like crying but I was shocked. That scene should have been removed. Anna didn't do anything wrong!

I know. It was pretty shocking, but then again, that's what horror movies are supposed to be about, aren't they? The Baron was definitely at his most ruthless and evil in this movie, wasn't he?

Oh yes! The doctor was the monster in this movie not his creation. Sure horror movies are supposed to be shocking but I think they went too far with that one. Even worse was poor Anna having to drag the dead body out of the ground and across the yard! Also I can't think of another Hammer horror film where a good woman is killed...but in 1969 Hammer was in bad financial shape so I guess they though upping the sex and violence was the way to go. As it is I think this ois one of the best Frankenstein movies Hammer ever made.

I agree.

Dr. Frankenstein was royally ticked off that she needlessly stabbed his brain transplant patient and he wasn't sure if he'd survive. I say "needlessly" because Brandt in his new body was no threat to Anna when she stabbed him.

Yes, it was very sad. This is a depressing movie as just about everyone ends up dying in the end (still a wonderful film, though). I thought both Anna and Karl should've lived.

Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!

Are you saying Anna being stabbed to death is a plot hole?

reply

Shocking yes. Another example of Baron Frankenstein acting in a despicable manner. He is someone to easily hate and want to kill on sight.
