Mary Shelley reveals the main characters of her novel survived: Dr. Frankenstein (goaded by an even madder scientist) builds his monster a mate.
The rare event of a sequel just as great or even better than the classic original: atmosphere, settings and performances are top notch and set standards for the horror genre; and this movie presents the most alluring female monster of cinema history.
Halliwell****: "Frankenstein was startingly good in a primitive way; this sequel is the screen's sophisticated masterpiece of black comedy, with all the talents working deftly to one end. Every scene has its own delights, and they are woven together into a superb if wilful cinematic narrative, which, of its gentle mocking kind, has never been surpassed."
Maltin****: "Eye-filling sequel to FRANKENSTEIN is even better, with rich vein of dry wit running through the chills... Pastoral interlude with blind hermit and final, riotous creation scene are highlights of this truly classic movie."
