Even though I was late in discovering them, I have a great affection for Hammer's take on the Universal monsters. If you think Christopher Lee only played Dracula and Peter Cushing only played Van Helsing, pick this up. Six sequels would follow over the next 20 years.
This review is from The Curse of Frankenstein [Blu-ray] [1957]

This, the first film version of Mary Shelley's book to be filmed in color, brought Hammer Films to prominence the same way Steamboat Willie brought Disney to prominence.
This follows Mary Shelley's book more closely than the 1931 version, and is impressive in its own right.
The gore was a bit much for some in 1957 and is a bit eyebrow-raising today. The creature (played by Christopher Lee) doesn't even make his first appearance until halfway through the movie, which also may test the patience of some viewers, but that is also what makes this version unique.
The action is seen (and told in flashback) through the eyes of Baron Frankenstein (chillingly played by Peter Cushing). We see how his obsession with creating new life not only proves harmful to everyone around him, but succeeds in destroying him.
