The Curse of Frankenstein is a 1957 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher. It is notable for being the first color film adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the first in a series of Hammer Horror films. The movie stars Peter Cushing as Baron Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Creature.

Hammer Studios, known for their Gothic horror revivals, brought a more graphic and visceral take on the Frankenstein story than earlier films. Cushing's performance as the cold, calculating Frankenstein and Lee's portrayal of the tragic Creature helped redefine the characters for a new generation.

This film marked a significant turning point in the horror genre, pushing boundaries with its violence, makeup, and production design. It was highly successful and led to several sequels and other classic horror adaptations by Hammer Films.
