Praised by critics as one of the best of the Frankenstein series, "Son of Frankenstein" stars Boris Karloff in the role that made him a screen legend. Returning to the ancestral castle 25 years after the death of the monsters, the son of Dr. Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) meets Ygor (Bela Lugosi), a mad shepherd who is hiding the comatose creature. Hoping to clear the family name, he revives the creature and tries to rehabilitate him. His noble goals are dashed when Ygor sends the creature on a killing spree that spreads new panic in the village.

An underrated classic! I watch no films but horror. My top 1 million fave films are all horror with the acception of Hitchcock. This one is my personal fave of the 30s. Its a true classic that deserves way way more attention. It seeks to entertain rather than horrify. Unfortunately, Bela Lugosi's career was going downwards at the time due to his own issues. He (in my opinion) is the greatest actor ever to live! Karloff, Rathbone and Atwill are fantastic too but Lugosi should have won an Oscar!!!
