son of frankenstein (1939)

"His name has become synonymous with horror! Monsters! Why nine out of ten people call that misshapen creature of my father's experiments..."
Wolf Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) arrives to claim his father's estate, determined to rehabilitate the name of Frankenstein. Whilst exploring his new home Frankenstein finds Ygor (Bela Lugosi) and the monster (Boris Karloff) hidden away. Ygor pleads with Wolf to revive the monster. He tries but seemingly fails, but soon after people start being killed. People who were on the jury that convicted Ygor
The third in the Universal Frankenstein series sees Karloff don the make up one last time, in the last of the great Frankenstein films. Director, Lee moves from the Gothic look, to one that plays with large sets and long shadows, and gets some fine performances out of his cast.
