Review of Bride of Frankenstein (1935) by Trevor R — 09 Nov 2014

I personally prefer the original Frankenstein, but this sequel is fantastic. It may delve into the camp and the comedy a bit more, but it has a great style, and some classic scenes. Dr. Praetorius is a nut, one that jumps off the screen.

Karloff also excels as the monster as he learns to speak, seeks love, and grows as something more than a monster. Elsa Lanchester is also very good as the Bride. Many love this film more than the original, I can't say I did.

I prefer the more horror tone of the first than the more stylized camp seen here, but there is still a lot to love.
