"… the film belongs to Peter Cushing, and as such is a perfect swansong for his greatest creation." – britishhorrorfilms.co.uk Is Baron Frankenstein truly dead? That's precisely what he wants the world to think. He's had it up to here with a public that doesn't appreciate the trouble a mad scientist goes through to snatch good body parts. To carry on his work, he holes up in a place where the possibilities are utterly maddening: a home for the criminally insane! A hand here. A brain there … true to form, the Baron (Peter Cushing) keeps his gruesome creation (David Prowse, known for his portrayal of Darth Vader) in stitches in this sixth and final fright fest in Hammer Films' Frankenstein cycle.

D.H. Lawrence's classic novel of eroticism is stunningly captured on screen by director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Histoire d'O) and features a sultry and electrifying performance by Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle, Private Lessons). When Sir Clifford Chatterley (Shane Briant, the Picture of Dorian Gray) returns home with a crippling injury sustained in the war that leaves him impotent, the strain is unbearable for his beautiful bride Constance, the Lady Chatterley. Knowing that he may never fulfill his wife's needs, Sir Chatterley grants permission for Lady Chatterley to take a lover. But that lover must be from the upper class of society. This arrangement is soon challenged when Lady Chatterley meets Oliver (Nicholas Clay Excalibur, Evil Under the Sun), a handsome and virile gamekeeper.
