Review of Son of Frankenstein (1939) by Matthew V — 16 Aug 2011
The second sequel to the 1931 original, "Son Of Frankenstein" is a captivating sequel, one that, to this day, has a heart-pounding moment that scares most people. Boris Karloff reprises his role as the Monster one final time while Bela Lugosi portrays the role of the creepy Ygor.
The script is solid, continuing the story where it left off in "Bride of Frankenstein". The acting is above excellent while the special effects are stunning. The filmmakers strike gold a third time in this surprising sequel that granted studios another two decades of successful horror films and paved the way for two more sequels in the original Frankenstein series.
Once again, the continuity is faithfully kept and nothing is out of place.
