Movie Reviews

Movie Chambers - 9/10 by Paul ChambersCalling all monsters! Universal trots most of them out for this sequel to "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man." And, the results were slightly better than the 1943 effort. Boris Karloff plays a mad scientist bent on revenge.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeHouse of Frankenstein -- choppy though it is -- has its pleasures.
Kansas City Kansan - 7/10 by Steve CrumCreepy, fun Universal programmer featuring a bevy of beasties
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 5/10 by Bob BloomA wonderful Universal B-horror; the first of the all-star monster fests. Lots of fun with J. Carrol Naish almost stealing the show as the hunchback Daniel.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 3/10 by Tim Brayton71 incomprehensible minutes of the very worst Universal had to offer.
User Review - 10/10 by Dillon LIs Baron Latos drinking wine, Dracula never drinks wine... Doesn't he know it will shorten his stake pinned skeleton? A large gypsy girl understands Chaney torment enough to dispatch him. and GLENN STRANGE becomes the largest actor to wear electrodes as he easily puts Naish through a window.

User Review - 10/10 by Cassandra MThis is the first time Universal Studios tried a Monster Mash by incorporating three of their most popular creatures into one film: Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein's Monster. The results are quite good, mostly due to the performers chosen for their parts. This is not supposed to be sophisticated film-making or storytelling; just a fun ghoulish romp, perfectly suited for a Halloween Night. And it succeeds admirably. Boris Karloff returned to the Frankenstein Series with this installment, and it's an asset to the picture to have him. Some fans have accused him of walking through his part as a mad scientist here, but I've always found this to be a very understated kind of calculated evil, and he's very good here. He portrays the mad Dr. Niemann, who once dared to follow in the footsteps of the original Frankenstein, and as a result was jailed for his unethical experiments along with his hunchbacked assistant, Daniel. When a severe thunderstorm destroys the foundation of the prison he's housed in, Niemann manages an escape and attempts to locate the original diary of Dr. Frankenstein, running into Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Frankenstein Monster along the way. J. Carrol Naish scores high points with his portrayal of the sympathetic hunchbacked assistant to Karloff, and manages to stir up our emotions as he pines away for cute gypsy girl Elena Verdugo. Lon Chaney plays The Wolf Man for a third time here, and though he's saddled with some silly dialogue ("why have you freed me from the ice that imprisoned the beast that lived within me?") he has now made the tragic character of Larry Talbot the werewolf all his own. He is desperate to aid Dr. Niemann however he can, in the hopes that the scientist may be able to return the favor by curing him of his curse. John Carradine is exceptional as Dracula, playing the part differently than Bela Lugosi had. What Carradine lacked in the creepy "otherworldliness" of Bela, he made up for with aristocratic evil. His physical look is actually much closer to how Bram Stoker described the character in his novel, "Dracula". Glenn Strange takes on the role of the hulking and imposing Frankenstein Monster for the first time, and is the next best to Karloff's interpretation of the creature, in terms of appearance. Hans J. Salter again provides a wonderfully haunting music score. Director Erle C. Kenton accentuates the proceedings with gloomy sets, dark nights and the customary thunder and lightning. This monster fest is light and breezy, packing much into its brief 70 minute running time. If there is any quibble to be made for HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, it would be with regard to the episodic way in which its three monsters are worked into the plot. Dracula has an early segment all his own, and then the second half switches to the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein Monster. None of the creatures cross paths with another, and their screen time as ghouls is limited (especially the case for the Monster). But this is just a technicality; for those who don't go into it expecting High Art, there is still much fun to be had within the House of Frankenstein.
User Review - 10/10 by Tron DAll the monsters in one film?! Lugosi is conspicuously absent and Karloff, though present in all his mad-scientist glory, declines the monster which falls to Glen Strange. A monstrously good time.
User Review - 10/10 by Zahran ZAfter the success of pairing The Wolf Man with the Frankenstein Monster in Universal Studio's 1943 monster mash, Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, they tried their luck again with 1944's House Of Frankenstein. But instead of merely doing the same flick again, they added to it and seriously amped up the cast and scares. House follows its predecessor by picking up exactly where it left off. After The Wolf Man and the Monster are washed away by a river of water, the townsfolk have begun to rest easy. But during a severe thunderstorm, the old jail cell holding Dr. Gustav Niemann (Boris Karloff) and his hunchback friend Daniel (J. Carrol Naish), crumbles apart. Seeing their chance to escape, the two flee during the storm. Niemann's tells Daniel about his older brother, and how he spent his life assisting the original Dr. Henry Frankenstein and learned his secrets of creating life. With the secrets he now possesses, the actual notes Henry took while creating the Monster, and Count Dracula on his side, Niemann is now ready to extract revenge on those who put him in prison. After Dracula is only able to kill the town's former Burgomaster before being killed himself, Niemann and Daniel travel to the small town outside of Castle Frankenstein in hopes to find some of Henry's old equipment. Once there though, they discover the bodies of The Wolf Man and the Frankenstein Monster incased in large chunks of ice. He quickly thaws and frees them. The Wolf Man, in human form as Lawrence Talbot, is furious with Niemann for releasing him. He begs him to kill him, but Niemann promises he can cure Talbot's disease. Soon, his intentions of curing Talbot are taken over by his desire to reanimate the sleeping Monster to help rid him of the other two men who imprisoned him. Riding the popularity of Universal's previous monster movie, director Erle C. Kenton helped develop the monster rally film that would continue for the next two Universal Monster movies, House Of Dracula and Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. This film is famous for featuring five of the most villainous and vile creatures of all-time; the mad scientist, the hunchback, Count Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster and The Wolf Man! Unfortunately for the fans, Bela Lugosi was not chosen to return as the fang-toothed vampire, leaving John Carradine to fill the void. I do believe he did a better than average job, appearing far more sinister and scary, instead of romantic and elegant. He would reprise his roll with the sequel, appearing as a far more important character than he was here. J. Carrol Naish appeared as Daniel, the unsightly hunchback assistant, replacing the widely popular Dwight Fry, who appeared as hunchbacks in both, Frankenstein and Bride Of Frankenstein. Lon Chaney Jr. did return however, making The Wolf Man the only Universal Monster to be portrayed by one and only one very talented actor (until the 2009 remake). Future western star, Glenn Strange stepped into the large boots and greasepaint of the Monster for the first of three times, taking over for the legendary Boris Karloff. Boris was now well into his 50's as of filming and was not physically able to handle all the extra weight. But he didn't just fade away, he become far more evil, using his ominous voice and weathered face to lend an incredible vision of terror to the mad scientist, Dr. Gustav Niemann. Although I personally loved him as the Monster, I think I enjoyed his performance and voice as Niemann just a little bit more, and that helped propel House Of Frankenstein to be my all-time favorite Universal Monster movie. With all this amazing genre talent in one movie, how could anybody resist all of these thrills and chills? Ok, so the thrills and chills might not be anywhere as scary as they once were, but I promise you will definitely enjoy seeing what a real monster movie is all about!
