Dread by the Decade: Son of Frankenstein

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

Sequel to: The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Year: 1939 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror Rating: UR (Recommended: PG) Country: USA Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes

Director: Rowland V. Lee Cinematographer: George Robinson Editor: Ted Kent Composer: Frank Skinner Writer: Willis Cooper Cast: Basil Rathbone, Josephine Hutchinson, Lionel Atwill, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Emma Dunn, Donnie Dunagan

Plot: Frankenstein's son tries to revive the Monster in the hopes of redeeming his father's name.

Review: Desperately lacking Whale's signature flare and sporting mile wide plot holes, this film fails both as a standalone story and a sequel.

Overall Rating: 2/5

Story: 2/5 - Despite some interesting ideas, it is plagued by inconsistencies, inscrutable character motivations (Why would Frankenstein's son, who wants people to like him, revive the Monster?), and awkward exposition.

Performances: 3/5 - Though the Monster's character development is gone, Karloff still plays him with striking complexity. Meanwhile, Rathbone's Frankenstein comes off as infuriatingly stupid, and Lugosi is fun but cartoonish.

Cinematography: 3.5/5 - Some interesting lighting and framing that pays homage to German expressionism.

Editing: 2.5/5 - A definite lack of fluidity.

Music: 3/5

Effects & Props: 3/5 - Serviceable lab equipment and storm effects.

Sets: 2.5/5 - While some sets are interesting and expressionistic, many appear cheap and empty. There's also a decided lack of cohesion between the castle's rooms.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 2/5 - The Monster just does not look as good—his costume is a serious downgrade—and Ygor's make-up is very subpar.

Donnie Dunagan was the youngest U.S. Marine drill instructor. He served three tours in Vietnam and was wounded several times, retiring as a Major in 1977. Throughout his career he managed to keep secret that he had been the voice of Bambi in the 1942 Disney film. || 9gagrss || https://ift.tt/7AIvufp https://ift.tt/sDQiJn4 ||

Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff and Donnie Dunagan: Behind the Scenes of “Son of Frankenstein” (1939) dir. Rowland V. Lee

“I met him [Boris Karloff] for the first time in the cafeteria at the studio. He was a broad-shouldered fellow in civilian attire, and very, very pleasant…. Either the first or the second time that I had time with Mr. Karloff [in the cafeteria], he gave me an ice cream cone…. Then when I first saw him in his Monster makeup, he laughed at me—“What do you think about me now?” It was just … “easy does it.” … I had a ball! Boris Karloff was a wonderful man … a real humanist…. He taught me how to play checkers, on the set…. About three or four games over a couple-day period, between scenes and rehearsals, [and] we started betting quarters…. He got to talking, having some fun with people, lost his concentration, and I double-jumped him and I had him locked up! … When I won, he was surprised. I put my hand out. I wanted my quarter! … He went “Rrrr! Rrrr! Rrrr” [like the Monster] and people thought he was “playing the part.” I’m not sure he was—I don’t think he liked losin’ to this little runt, me!” — Donnie Dunagan (Universal Horrors: The Studio's Classic Films, 1931-1946, Weaver; Brunas; Brunas, 2007)

Son Of Frankenstein (1939)

"By Heaven, I think you're a worse fiend than your father. Where is this monster, where is he? I'll stay by your side until you confess; and if you don't, I'll feed you to the villagers - like the Romans fed Christians to the lions!"

"I wouldn't put it past you. In the meantime, will you have a drink or would you like to play darts?"

#son of frankenstein #1939 #universal monster cycle #frankensteinathon #films i done watched #horror film #basil rathbone #boris karloff #bela lugosi #josephine hutchinson #lionel atwill #donnie dunagan #emma dunn #edgar norton #lionel belmore #rowland v. lee #mary shelley #at last we're entering uncharted territory. i've only seen the original and bride before so the rest are new to me. i was under the #impression that most of the sequels were not popular and i didn't even know karloff had played the monster again. but ya know what this was #so much fun! only 8 years had passed since frankenstein yet this clearly belongs to another age of film making. oh the plot and the script #are hokey as hell but the film itself is from a technical view point much more sophisticated and smooth. its surprisingly self aware as wel #in the first few minutes rathbone references the fact that so many people incorrectly refer to the monster as frankenstein (in 1939!)#rathbone and karloff are both great of course. rathbone makes for a likable stand in for colin clive who had sadly died before this film wa #made. lugosi is wonderful and has so much fun with his part. it's easy to forget what range he had. his wily grotesque ygor is a million #miles from the stately imperious dracula. and with a star trio like that how could anyone else get a look in? who could even compare?#lionel atwill that's who. krogh is an absurd character that was barely even exaggerated for young frankenstein (as i just found out watchin #this) but my god you can't take your eyes off him. he lights up every scene he's in with his melodramatic wistful looks and preposterous #mechanical arm. there isn't a shred of subtlety in him and i loved every second he was onscreen. i'd watch a whole series of films about #krogh solving petty crimes and looking meaningfully into the middle distance. the 31 and 35 films may be stone cold classics but are they #as fun as this is? honestly i don't think they are

Horror returns after a three-year gap with 1939's SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, directed by Rowland Lee. What changed in America that Universal Studios was willing to raise this dead genre? How far does this apple fall from the Frankenstein tree? And how do Basil Rathbone, Lionel Atwill, and Bela Lugosi stand in comparison to Boris Karloff as the Monster?
