KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Ian (Flash Review)As the title explains, the son of Henry Frankenstein, Baron Wolf von Frankenstein moves into the Frankenstein castle estate much to the angst of the local villagers who remember the horrors this family has let loose on them. Ygor enters the picture to meet the son of Frankenstein. I learned that Ygor has the infamously strange posture after he survived a hanging! With Ygor's help, they locate where the monster has been buried. Baron Wolf von Frankenstein has desires to revive his family's name by proving his father was correct with his science experiments. When the monster is revived it only responds to Ygor's commands. Why is this? What has Ygor done? Worse yet, what will Ygor do? As you can tell Ygor plays a big role in this film and with this film's creatively designed sets, which are reminiscent of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the story is full of juicy and gruesome historical goodness.

O2D While this is probably the best of the first three Frankenstein movies, there is virtually no continuity. They completely ignore what happened in the first two movies and just make up a new story about the past. So in the fours years since Bride Of Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein has moved to America, had a son, died and his son is a married adult with a child of his own. He decides to go back to the old family mansion, thinking he can make the locals love him and restore the name of Frankenstein. When he gets there his servants from America are already there and have prepared the house. Finding out his butler's name is Benson was hilarious to me and I couldn't stop thinking about it. He decides to repair his dad's laboratory which has a hole in the roof from when he killed the monster. Even though he never had a laboratory(he worked in an old windmill that was destroyed) and the monster destroyed himself and Dr. Pretorius' lab at the same time. Although they completely changed the back story, it's still better than the first two. Did I mention that Wolf Frankenstein's son is possibly the worst child actor to have ever been caught on film? Plus he has a ridiculous perm and an accent that makes him almost impossible to understand. Sometimes it sounds Cajun but I'm not really sure. This is the first time ever I would recommend not seeing the earlier movies first. If you haven't seen them already, start here.

GL84 Returning to his family's ancestral castle, the Baron's youngest son finds that his father's hunchback assistant has been keeping his father's creation alive and attempts to resurrect it only to learn the creature is seeking out revenge on the town and tries to stop it.This one here was quite the fun if overlong effort. What really short-changes this one is the extremely long running time that slows this one considerably as the build-up to getting the creature to live again really feels way too drawn-out. Though settling the issue of what's going on and getting many of the story lines set up, the fact that it goes into overdrive with the detail of the villagers' distrust of him and their coldness towards the family as well as settling into the castle and preparing to reanimate the creature as there's quite a long time here before anything happens and altogether drags this one out far longer than it really should've been. Even more overlong scenes here come from the rather overblown manner of this one going for the endless scenes of the Baron being questioned and threatened at the end while he's stuck at the house, as the repetitious nature of these scenes quickly wears on the viewer. These here are the film' few flaws, as even though it might not be a classic like the original entries, this one is a lot of fun. Most of that comes from when the discovery of the creature is made, this one really kicks up a little bit with some rather solid action scenes. The initial resurrection is quite spectacular, as it's a little unknown if the experiment will bring it back to life as the various methods used, from the scientific explanations about the creature to the medical work done to fix damage done and the final blow comes in the moment where the electricity comes into play, makes this scene is all the more watchable. When it gets to the monster's first moving appearance as it emerges as a silhouette behind an unsuspecting character and slowly lumbers over to them, it makes for a great visual to open with. That the creature also manages a slight rampage at the end of the film, including the one highlight where it stalks the victim through a mountain pass and the really spectacular part where it goes berserk in the laboratory makes for some exciting scenes. The final fate of the creature is quite exhilarating, making it a little on the sad end of the spectrum, does have a sense of lifting the film out of it's action doldrums and putting some life into the proceedings. As well, the rebuilding of the creature looks quite good and just as great as ever. The last plus here is that the house itself does have some great designs to it that give it a distinct look, featuring a rather impressive Gothic atmosphere with the overall layout and design of the house that's especially true with the huge open spaces in the kitchen and the laboratory as well as the distinct appearance of the stairway in the main room, and then there's the traditional fog- lined set-up that gives this a chilling overall feel. Overall, this was a really fun entry in the series.Today's Rating/PG: Violence.

MonsterVision99 This is one of the best horror films from the 30s, the acting and atmosphere are the strongest parts of the film, its the third installment in the Frankenstein series but it doesn't have that much of a connection with the other ones.Bela Lugosi its great as Ygor, a man who cheated death and gets deform by it, Basil Rathbone makes a magnificent performance as Frankensteins son, There's also inspector Krogh, played by Lionel Atwill, who its also great in the film.Overall, its one of the best Frankenstein films, its intense and chilling, there's also a absorbing element tot he film, I definitely recommend it.
