For awhile, the only way to get our Hi-Def Hammer Horror fix was through Synapse Films (their BDs of VAMPIRE CIRCUS, TWINS OF EVIL, and HANDS OF THE RIPPER are essential), or importing from over the pond. Luckily that is changing thanks to Millennium Entertainment, who’ve acquired a massive bulk of the legendary studio’s catalog, and have begun to issue them onto Collector’s Edition Blu-ray’s, starting with DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS earlier this year.
The second title to be released has been confirmed, and it’s none other than the Peter Cushing-starring, FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMEN! This is the first time the film will be available in HD stateside, with a slew of bonus features new & old to sweeten the deal!

A tormented girl (Susan Denberg) drowns herself after her lover is framed for her father’s murder and guillotined.

With no memories of her past life, she becomes driven by a ghostly revenge and carries out a violent retribution on those responsible for both deaths.
