这部Son of Frankenstein 拍摄于1939年，两位伟大的恐怖片祖师爷monster/Boris karloff 和吸血鬼Bela Lugosi 的伊阿格在这里会合了，还有谁呢，当然是Basil Rathbone ,他代替Colin Clive ,扮演了DR Frankenstein 的儿子，小Frankenstein。还有谁？就是Lionel Atwill，他是谁？他就是BR福片秘密武器中的莫里亚蒂教授，可以这样说，如果你看BR福片，你就可以得到很多，你追随Basil Rathbone ,你就会发现很多宝藏。该片导演为Rowland V.Lee.他曾和BR合作拍摄过改编自阿加莎克里斯蒂的小说影片：《来自陌生人的爱》和《伦敦塔》Basil Rathbone 在这部片子里，又和伟大的MONSTER/Boris karloff 回合了，使得BR荣幸的被恐怖片影迷认识了，他们知道这个人原来扮演过福尔摩斯，在60年代垂垂老矣的几个老恐怖又聚在一起拍了几部片子，和其他几位老恐怖不同，BR并不认同自己是恐怖片演员，他认为自己并没有什么经典的恐怖形象，的确如此，他没扮演过吸血鬼（很可惜），没演过任何一种怪物，只是为了挣钱和几位老恐怖合作了一下，但不小心塑造了几个很有光彩的人物，差点抢了怪物们的风头，还培养了几多粉丝，硬要把他捧作恐怖片之王，其实他不是，他是一个经典的坏蛋而非经典怪物，当然他也是福尔摩斯，虽然他的福尔摩斯先生，总是接电话。

　　Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.
