Boris Karloff returns for another round as the monster in Son of Frankenstein, but he isn't the creepiest role in the film. That would have to go to Bela Lugosi.
Son of Frankenstein tells the tale of Dr. Frankenstein's son (Basil Rathbone) taking over the castle of his late fath...( read more)
Finally made it all the way through this. Not a long film, just couldn't stay awake. Not bad, but can't stand up with its earlier siblings, Frankenstein and Bride of. The sets are very sparse, kinda giving the whole thing a "filmed in a warehouse" look. A highlight is Bela Legosi...( read more)
