diogo13 T @Tua_mera Aug 22 Um clássico do terror que brilha mais pela estética expressionista e pela atmosfera gótica do que pelo argumento já desgastado. Embora o monstro perca a sua complexidade emocional, a introdução do icónico Ygor por Bela Lugosi e a excelente dinâmica do elenco garantem que esta sequela continue a ser um passatempo gótico muito competente.

I mean it’s good but it’s just not my thing… See more Christian M @chriss17eu May 9 'Son of Frankenstein' leaves me with mixed feelings. It is neither bad nor boring, yet it completely fails to emotionally engage me. The pacing, the story, and especially the treatment of the creature create a constant sense of disconnection. Boris Karloff no longer fascinates me here; his nervous gestures and endless grunts feel exhausting rather than unsettling. Still, the film’s gothic atmosphere is outstanding. The cinematography, shadows, and oppressive set design make this the visually strongest entry of the trilogy. Basil Rathbone is easily the highlight, bringing charisma and depth that the monster lacks. The premise—a mix of police thriller and family drama—is genuinely interesting, but the execution wastes its potential. Most of the film feels unnecessary, though the final thirty minutes finally bring some life and tension to the story.

Incentivado por Igor, decide reviver a criatura, mas logo percebe que Igor a usa para executar sua vingança. Preso entre a ameaça representada pela dupla e a chance de redimir o legado do pai, Wolf enfrenta um dilema moral. Encerrando a trilogia do Monstro na Universal, o filme marca a última interpretação de Karloff no papel que se tornaria referência definitiva. Aqui, porém, o Monstro surge como coadjuvante, manipulado por Igor em uma atuação marcante de Lugosi. Rathbone e Lionel Atwill também se destacam. O design expressionista do castelo, inspirado em obras como O Gabinete do Dr. Caligari, é um dos grandes atrativos. Embora não tenha a força dos filmes anteriores, permanece um clássico que influenciaria muitas produções posteriores See more Isaiah Y @zayman2 Oct 27 Not as much action as the previous films, but still worth a watch See more Johnathon W @Hoppynsc Oct 5 Solid entry in the franchise, thanks to an excellent cast and direction, though not as atmospheric as James Whale. The cast is excellent, with Basil Rathbone superb as Frankenstein's son while Karloff delivers another standout performance as the Monster. The scene-stealer, though, is Bela Lugosi as Ygor, unrecognizable as Frankenstein's former assistant with sinister motives of his own. Behind the camera, director Rowland V. Lee crafts a solid sequel, with some great make-up effects, though doesn't quite match the atmosphere of the previous films. Overall, a nice entry in the franchise, if not perfect.
