The character of the monster is more compelling here than in Frankenstein, especially in that he actually has fundamental human desires of his own instead of acting in a purely instinctual manner. On the technical side of things, Bride of Frankenstein knocks it up several notches from the first film, sporting some seriously impressive special effects. Another high point is Ernest Thesiger's hilariously campy turn as Dr. Pretorius.

The movie was alright. They really tried hard to make The Monster seem sympathetic - he even cries at one point. The whole aim to humanize The Monster would have worked too if they didn't have him slaughter so many fucking people. Jesus Christ, no wonder you're lonely; stop killing so many people, and maybe they wont hate you so much! It's an okay movie and a decent follow-up to the original. Nothing special, though.

One of the few sequels that is better than the original. It embraces self-parody--the inevitable fate of sequels--and runs with it. The Monster is more human, Thesiger and his little people charming, and Elsa's lightning-bolt hair and her hiss stick in the memory.

From Whale's atmospheric direction to Thesiger's supremely perverse Dr. Pretorius to Elsa's electric hairdo and Boris's alternately poignant and pushy Monster, this ranks as one of horrordom's towering achievements.

I prefer it to the first mostly because of the original's familiarity, like the number of times I've seen Young Frankenstein for example, but it's also superior in every technical way too. The special effects, like the scene with the tiny people, holds up incredibly well, even better than a lot of stuff they were doing with mattes and rear projection 20 years later.

The Bride of Frankenstein is quintessential classic horror, laying down the groundwork for reference-after-reference, spoof after spoof. And all without lacking anything is genuine quality. Some will have liked more of the Bride, but anything that might have made the movie longer would have been very welcome.
