After being resurrected from the grave, Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) wrecks havoc in the small town while turning into a werewolf but finds Frankenstein's Monster (Bela Lugosi) after chipping him out of a block of ice in which he is low on energy but Dr. Frank Mannering (Patric Knowles) has an evil plan for the two of them

The beginning of the story looked mildly impressive as there's two men going to a morgue and opening up Lawrence Talbot's coffin along with a shot on a full moon. Then Talbot's hand grabs one of these two in which it looked effective for it's time along with his hand looking monstrous in which this show off a nice classic horror start to everything.

Afterwards Lawrence is found and placed in a hospital with nicely focused shot on all of this by acting out of it and fearful as well. Nice start to a sequel to Wolfman.
Lawrence tells others what he is due to a gypsy woman being responsible for everything in which the makers did their homework pretty well proving this to be a true sequel.

Then while he's lying in his hospital bed there's a full moon which is impressive with even more impressive camera shots on him lying in bed with his face changing into a werewolf using the same chemistry as in the Wolfman flick which works in very well.
The story is a bit slow but it picks up in which there's a nice intense scene when some orderly's put him in a straight jacket which looked highly energised when he behaves aggresive.

Lawrence manages to escape and finds the gypsy woman Maleva explaining her his situation as this looked perfectly well done and enjoyable to watch along with them going to a destination but then the full moon happens with him running off and once again another great shot on him transforming into a werewolf which adds great class.

Terrific camera shots on the village of people hearing the howling sound as well as discussing Frankenstein's monster coming back adding a great touch to everything along with them trying to track down the werewolf adding some nice intensity.

Then when Lawrence is human again in which beforehand falling into a pit he is snowed in adding a nice psychological feel to everything with a great shot on him smashing some ice with a terrific shot on the face of Frankenstein's monster as well as resurrecting him in which these situations should please the fans big time.
Good peaceful discussions when Baroness Elsa Frankenstein introduces herself to Lawrence in which they have a good flowing conversation together.

The two of them are at an outing with partygoers trying to sing to them but Lawrence freaks out at them demanding them to leave as this looked truly disturbing.
Then the Monster shows up with terrific shots on him approaching as well as great intensity on everyone running away and screaming.

Then the story gets really exciting when both Dr. Frank Mannering and Elsa goes to Dr. Frankenstein's castle then he plans to use his devices with the Monster and on Lawrence in the experiment lab which looked neat to watch.
Plus some nice lines coming from Elsa warning Frank the dangers on what his father did when creating the Monster adding more nice touches to a horror sequel.
The special effects looked great for it's time when the electricity started up when the experiment was starting as well as the Monster getting more powerful breaking free and attacking adding great terror and suspense.

The action piles up big time when Lawrence turns into the werewolf and battles the Monster to save Elsa from his clutches which was also done in a nice and fun horror fashion.
The near ending was necessary for a dam to break causing a huge flood and tearing down the castle.

Bottom line is that this is an enjoyable combination sequel done right and a total classic. At first the story seemed mediocre but then later on it starts up a great deal. This should please horror fans of both flicks that was combined together.

The acting was good for it's time in with Lon Chaney Jr. (The Wolf Man - Lawrence Talbot) still had the knack to play this role showing a great troubled and disturbed attitude in which he for sure studied these moments well and was just as good like he was in the original. Does terrific with his intense aggressions too bringing it to the extreme. All in all he was the best out of the whole cast.

Ilona Massey (Baroness Elsa Frankenstein) showed off a great serious and sharp personality whenever she performed her part of the story. She was smooth with her speaking and showed off a wise attitude. Reacts well to situations and showed off a wonderful presence.

Patric Knowles (Dr. Frank Mannering) drew greatly with his serious motives and does well with getting to the point of things which looked convincing. He also came across as someone whom is untrustworthy. He offered terrific timing with everything he did here and strutted his stuff nicely.

Lionel Atwill (Mayor) had a nice supporting role with his gruff speaking which he came off as someone closed minded and greatly aggressive as he really knew on behaving unpleasant. Showed off a terrific presence with his negative personality.

Bela Lugosi (Monster) took on the role as the creation this time around and does it with decent style showing some interesting expressions during certain situations and seemed to really grab your attention with his motives. However he had more memorable parts in other projects.

Maria Ouspenskaya (Maleva) does well with her mysterious and calm attitude as she still does it with style and seems to study her role just as well like in the original. I really liked on what she did here with her eccentric personality and acting believeably patient.

Hans J. Salter does a nice job with his music by having good orchestral composing with the clarinet playing as well as some string pluckings too. Does a nice focus with the storyline making it have a traditional sound for the adventureous scene's during a film of it's time especially the violin and trombone music.
