Review of Son of Frankenstein (1939) by Chris G — 25 Oct 2008
The surprisingly decent sequel to Bride of Frankenstein. This is certainly not in the same league as the first two films, but it isn?t anywhere near as crappy as some of the other Universal sequels got.
Basil Rathbone is good as athe son of Dr. Frankenstein and Boris Karloff is doing his thing about as well as ever, but the one who really steals the show is Bela Legosi who has a great turn as Ygor. There is however a really annoying kid in it and the movie actually runs a good twenty minutes longer then the last two, which is probably not necessary.
