SON OF FRANKENSTEIN 1939 (UNIVERSAL)

Another Universal classic.

Basil Rathbone plays one of the sons of Frankenstein, Wolf to be exact who finds the monster in a coma and then attempts to revive him with disastrous results.

Boris Karloff is the monster for the third and last time, Lionel Atwill is the suspicious Police Inspector Krogh and Josephine Hutchinson is Elsa von Frankenstein. Bela Lugosi is Igor and he is the one that causes the monster to kill.

Rathbone's character of Wolf Frankenstein is almost perfect and blends high intelligence with near panic after he finds out the monster is killing villagers. Universal did a fine job with this and I will recommend this to any horror fan.
