Son of Frankenstein (1939). This so-called third installment of the Frankenstein trilogy adds its own flair to the series, utilizing to full effect its sublime cast. The stark and shadowy atmosphere, the nefarious intrigues, and the rotten Ygor playing that mysterious flute-like instrument all add to its mysterious essence. Of particular importance were the elaborate set designs, with the camera utilizing interesting camera angles which left visual highlights for the viewer to feast on. The acting was spot on, with the monstrous pair Lugosi and Karloff doing the Devil's work, Rathbone hamming it up to delightful effect, and Atwill and his hilariously animated arm attempting to hold the discommoding situation together. The result is a finality to the trilogy that can hold its head up high in light of its incredible predecessors. Merci beaucoup.
