Two of Universal’s biggest stars, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, team up for _Son of Frankenstein_. In this third installment of the series Dr. Wolf von Frankenstein inherits his family’s estate and decides to continue his father’s work when his father’s former assistant, Ygor, reveals that the Monster is still alive. Lugosi does an excellent job as Ygor; turning him into one of the most significant and popular characters in the Frankenstein canon. Additionally, the story is rather good and takes the series in an interesting direction. _Son of Frankenstein_ is able to deliver a fresh and frightening new chapter into the series while still being a smart and well-crafted film.

[spoiler]Unlike in the previous movie, Karloff actually doesn't speak, appearing to be less intelligent than in his previous movies. But in the scenes where he's murdering people, he does show some intelligence in how he's doing it rather than just randomly killing. Also Frankenstein was well known as having created the monster but in the previous movies the towns people were pretty much unaware that he was the one who actually created the monster. Lugosi does a good job in adding Ygor to the movie franchise, a character who was not in the original book but had since become a part of the movie canon. The home interiors were real freaky, reminding me of the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Still one of the classics.[/spoiler]

I thought this was a decent sequel to the first two Frankenstein films. Basil Rathbone (who also played in 14 Sherlock Holmes films) does a good job portraying Baron Wolf von Frankenstein (the son of Frankenstein) in my opinion. I thought the first half of the film wasn't that interesting because it moved very slow. As the film continues, Ygor makes the monster of Frankenstein kill the 8 men who want him to hang, the story gets really good in my opinion. This wasn't as good as the previous two entries in the Frankenstein series, but it was a good film overall if you ask me.

I never realized how good these early Frankenstein movies were. "Frankenstein" is a great movie and "Bride of Frankenstein" is perfect in every way. Now, "Son of Frankenstein" isn't at the level of those two greats, but it's really good.

I enjoyed the performance of Basil Rathbone. He transforms fr More

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein.

Son Of Frankenstein, directed by Rowland V. Lee and starring Basil Rathbone as Baron Frankenstein, Boris Karloff as The Monster (his last turn as the creature), Lionel Atwill as Inspector Krogh and Bela Lugosi as Ygor. That's quite a cast list, add in a sharp script f More
