But it is Mr. Barrymore who so scandalously accents a preposterous affair that it becomes amusing as a lampoon on itself.

Barrymore grooves .as the eccentric inventor most effectively, playing the character more or less straight, with only a slight touch of farcical treatment.

In John Barrymore's hands this Professor Gibbs becomes a gay caricature of an aged and cranky but clever scientist.

It's amusing for a while. But it grows tedious.

There isn't a shudder in its entire length. But, laughs? That's what it has nothing else but.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Nobody involved needed to feel the least bit ashamed of the results, and for a romcom spun-off from a horror franchise, that's as good as we can fairly expect.

Rated: 7/10

This movie was funny and how they did some of the invisible scenes is honestly very cool for 1940. The ending is weird and doesn’t land for me but it suits the movie I guess.

No horror and definitely no humor. The new tone is a mess.

It a whimsical take on the monster genre, not a movie to scare but to laugh and fall in love with the butler constantly quiting, the mad professor and the goons trying to steal a machine. It's a darn tooting good time.

A much more screwball comedy direction than horror but it's okay
