Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ian (Flash Review)As the title explains, the son of Henry Frankenstein, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein moves into the Frankenstein castle estate much to the angst of the local villagers who remember the horrors this family has let loose on them. Ygor enters the picture to meet the son of Frankenstein. I learned that Ygor has the infamously strange posture after he survived a hanging! With Ygor's help, they locate where the monster has been buried. Baron Wolf von Frankenstein has desires to revive his family's name by proving his father was correct with his science experiments. When the monster is revived it only responds to Ygor's commands. Why is this? What has Ygor done? Worse yet, what will Ygor do? As you can tell Ygor plays a big role in this film and with this film's creatively designed sets, which are reminiscent of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the story is full of juicy and gruesome historical goodness.

alexanderdavies-99382 "Son of Frankenstein" is definitely a step down from the previous excellent "Frankenstein" films.The above film suffers from some poor direction and a narrative that is a bit hard-going at times. Boris Karloff has been reduced in the sense that his character has become a one-dimensional, killing machine. The actors own concerns about the creature character were justified.Basil Rathbone is way over the top as the Baron who inherits his late fathers estate.This film has some good moments but it doesn't help that the dialogue kept being re-written every day of shooting. Bela Lugosi and Lionel Atwill give the best performances by far. The former proved he was worth far more than playing Dracula. Lugosi was effectively cast against type. The running time of 95 minutes is far too long - about 20 minutes should have been edited.

LeonLouisRicci The Third Frankenstein Film from Universal is a Lot of Things. It has a Heavy, Weighty Appeal with a Handsome, Gothic, Expressionistic Mounting and a Number of Fine, Melodramatic Performances from the Period's Iconic Horror Actors.Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and Lionel Atwill all Deliver Outstanding Characters that Come to Life and give the Picture a Rich Atmosphere of Living-Dread. The Surprise here may be Bela Lugosi in a Meaty Role of "Ygor". Lugosi is Ever Present with a Large Amount of Screen Time and becomes Central to the Plot as He Takes Control of the Movie and the Monster.Rathbone has Never been More Nervous and Out of His Skin. He becomes Borderline Insane as Things Spiral Out of Control and His Acting sets the Film on an Edge of Eccentricity. Electricity Cuts the Frame as Thunderstorms and Mad-Lab Gizmos Whizz and Whirr as the Movie takes place in a Surreal World with Everything Enormous and Foreboding.The Sets of Humongous Doors and Arches that Reach the Sky, Adorned with Gargoyles and Attachments that are Barely Accessible by mere Humans. The Art-Design Competes with the Baroque Characters in its Ability to Attract the Eye.Atwill is Remarkable as the "Inspector" with Memorable Lines and a Presence that is Unforgettable. Even Frankenstein's Wife and Child are in on the Action and the Pathos.Overall, it is a Winner of a Movie by any Standard and is only Overshadowed by the Two Previous Films that were so Good as to Render this one Third Best by Comparison, but Only by Comparison.This is a Rich and Rewarding Film with Highlights Galore, Full of Grotesqueries in a Gorgeous Production.

skybrick736 In the third installment of Universal's Frankenstein series, viewers are introduced to a new scientist in the Frankenstein family, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, played by Basil Rathbone. Rathbone is very good in his part, living up to expectations of Colin Clive who played Henry Frankenstein, the family and creator of the monster. Son of Frankenstein seemed to tell a story that was awfully similar to the original in quite a few ways, a knock on original material. However, I did find myself enjoying "Son" as a film a bit more than "Bride" with more interesting characters and a nice pace, while "Bride" rushed an ending. This would have been a good way to cap off the Frankenstein franchise for Universal but apparently the business at the box office was too good to stop here.
