4/10. Here's why:

What a cheat! THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN's title character only appears at the end! Putting that aside, some of the scenes work (especially one involving THE MONSTER and a blind man), but it doesn't work overall. It's like they came up with those scenes as ideas for the premise and then instead of choosing one they just decided to glue them together (kinda like THE MONSTER was created). The result is a meandering sequel that feels more like an afterthought of the 1st installment. And because those scenes have different themes and tones (horror, comedy, etc.), it's also very uneven. Boris Karloff's performance is as good as before, but Una O'Connor ruins every scene she's in.

Any thoughts?

You must be very difficult to please. Every time I've seen you on the board for any movie you're talking about why you hated it. Anyways, I do agree the bride should've had more screentime but the few moments she was in are unforgettable. Also Una O'Connor is very funny to me and makes me laugh every time I watch it. I think the first is a bit better but this is still a pretty good sequel.
