Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

alexanderdavies-99382 "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" marks the first time that more than one monster would appear in the same "Universal" horror film. The end result is pretty good in all fairness - the opening section concentrates on Lawrence Talbot/The Wolf Man. After miraculously returning to life at the beginning, Talbot embarks upon a new reign of terror in the fictional Welsh village where he grew up.A local Doctor and a police officer are on the case to determine who Talbot really is after not believing he is the same person from the previous film. I enjoyed this section in particular.The second half brings the Frankenstein creature into the film. Bela Lugosi was wise in declining this role back in 1931. He clearly can't cope with the rather physical requirements and had to be doubled a lot of the time.Dwight Frye is on hand in one of his last films and Lionel Atwill is doing his usual.A solid film.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a sequel to The ghost of Frankenstein. It is also a sequel to The wolf man. This has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is very intense. It is one of the scariest movies ever. House of Frankenstein is better but only by a little bite. See this movie. It is great. It is very scary. House of Dracula which is the seventh universal Frankenstein movie and also the fourth universal wolf man movie is also better. This is the fifth universal Frankenstein movie. It also the second universal wolf man movie. It is a must see. The wolf man is looking for Doctor Frankenstein to find out secrets of life and death. A g.i.p.s.y woman form the first movie is helping. They find out the monster is not dead. Just in active. And he walks up. Now the wolf man must stop the Frankenstein monster for good.

Dan Franzen (dfranzen70) In this entry in the Universal Monsters series, our old friend the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) is unintentionally brought back to life a few years after his demise at the end of The Wolf Man (1941). In human form, he's actually Larry Talbot, and for the sake of plot expediency he already knows he turns into a wolf when the moon is full. Which it is, during almost the entire movie. After killing a couple of guys, Talbot winds up in a sanatorium run by Dr. Mannering (Patric Knowles). Talbot wants desperately to die so he can finally rid himself of this horrible curse, and the old gypsy woman (Maria Ouspenskaya) who he knew from The Wolf Man tells him only one guy can really help - Dr. Frankenstein himself.Only the good doctor's dead, dead as a doornail, killed when villagers blew up his castle in Son of Frankenstein. These same villagers are right angry that Talbot and the gypsy even bring up the Frankenstein name, for some reason. Anyway, it's not until the movie's nearly half over that we finally see the grand titular meeting, when Talbot stumbles among the ruins of the castle and finds the monster, encased in a block of ice. (It's in an ice cave, although I'm not sure where all the ice came from.) After thawing out the monster (played by an unrecognizable Bela Lugosi), Talbot searches in vain for the doctor's diary. But luckily, Frankenstein's daughter is still around, the Baroness Elsa (Ilona Massey), and she helps Talbot find the diary. Then it's up to Dr. Mannering to hook up Dr. Frankenstein's old apparatus and - get this - switch the wires so that instead of giving life to the Monster, energy is drained off of both him and Talbot. Things don't go as planned, strange as it may seem.There's plenty of that old Universal atmosphere, although the Monster's lurching gait looks kind of silly. Here's why it's not, though: he's lurching because he's blind. He's blind because the mind of Ygor in one of the earlier films was switched with that of the Monster. That's why Frank's Monster knows where some of the doctor's research is and why he lumbers about with his arms outstretched, as if he just needed a hug. Here's another fun fact - when the villagers are carrying a just-killed girl down the street, demanding justice, they're all carrying torches. Torches that are, yes, unlit. Even when they're searching the forest for the Wolf Man, the torches are unlit. These are not smart villagers.Some familiar Universal horror names are here, too. Lionel Atwill plays the mayor; Dwight Frye is one of the villagers. Martha Vickers, who was in the Bogie classic The Big Sleep a few years later, has an uncredited role, as does Jeff Corey.I saw this movie as part of an interactive event at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring, Maryland, hosted by Count Gore de Vol. For these showings, the Count stops the movies a couple of times in order to play some trivia or other games, with fabulous prizes. The Count is always good for a hammy, light-hearted performance. Always a treat.The film itself isn't anything to write home about, unless you're really into the continuity thing. The timelines of the Wolf Man and Frankenstein movies don't neatly dovetail, but close enough for government work, as they say. Still a cool movie, made all the better by Count Gore de Vol.

TheRedDeath30 King Kong vs Godzilla, Alien vs Predator, Freddy vs Jason...essentially this is the movie that spawned every monster mash-up in history.I am a giant Universal Monster geek and my favorite of them all is THE WOLF MAN, so I am most likely a little bit biased when it comes to an impartial opinion on this movie. Of the six major Universal monsters created in the "talking era", Wolfie is the only one who never received a direct sequel. Instead, the sequel to THE WOLF MAN was melded together with the sequel to GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN to create this classic. As other reviewers have stated, it almost feels like two separate movies, at times. The first half of the movie is very much a sequel to THE WOLF MAN, beginning with one of the eeriest scenes in Universal history, as two grave robbers break into the Talbot family crypt looking for riches and instead uncover death by moonlight. This scene reminds me of the EC Comics that would come a decade later and is one of the best parts of this movie. From there, Larry Talbot begins a quest to free himself from his affliction, which eventually brings him to the castle of Frankenstein. You can see the basis of what would have made a spectacular sequel to WOLF had it been allowed to develop. That's not to say the end result is not, also, spectacular because rather than continuing Larry's quest, we begin our second half of the movie, picking up after the events in GHOST OF FRANK and culminating in a fight (sort of) between our two titular monsters.Like all Universal sequels, this one requires quite a bit of suspension of belief, along with a short memory in terms of what has come before in the two series. As has been mentioned many times, there were numerous problems with Bela Lugosi as the monster, ending up with no explanation for why is is blind and mute. The end result is a shambling, stiff creature who is the basis of every bad Frankenstein impression to come. There are confusing references to who created the monster and how much the Baroness' father had to do with it. Had the viewer not seen the previous installments, it would be very hard to figure out who the Baroness is and who created the monster. While we're on the topic of the Baroness, herself, her character had been played by Evelyn Ankers in GHOST OF FRANK, but as she also played Larry Talbot's love interest in WOLF MAN, Uni felt that would be confusing, so Ilona Massey takes over the role and, somehow, between the movies the character picks up a thick Hungarian accent. Adding more cloud to the continuity is the fact that Castle Frankenstein was destroyed at the end of GHOST yet somehow remains in place in this movie.All those things can be forgiven, though. What horror franchise hasn't played a little loose with continuity to keep events moving? I love this movie for the dark feel of the first half and the focus on a great character in Larry Talbot. I love this movie for the thrill it gave me, as a kid, in seeing two monsters in one movie. I love it for being a sequel two Universal movies in one. It's fun and thrilling and a monster kid can't ask for much more than that.
