Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943)

Exciting Film


I personally found this to be an exciting film - from start to finish. It's all a matter of personal preference as to whether or not you will like this film (just like all films).

This one I really enjoyed Lon Chaney's performance. Very intense and outstanding performance by Chaney.  As usual Larry Talbot is wanting a cure or to simply die because of his unwanted infliction - he does not want to harm anyone.

Bela Lugosi's Monster is good too - very terrifying. We all know it's hard to fill the shoes of Boris Karloff in the role as the Monster and I think that Lugosi was great - he did his best as always. AND it gives us an idea of what it would have been like if Bela Lugosi had not turned down the role for The Monster in 1931 (Frankenstein).

The movie starts out good (maybe a bit slow for some) and builds up to an exciting ending where The Monster and The Wolf Man battle it out.

A film worth watching if you enjoy Universal Classic Monsters.

9.5/10
