Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Universal's second horror stew, which tried to go one better than Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man by featuring, in addition to those two luminaries, Dracula, a mad doctor, a psycho hunchback and a Chamber of Horrors. It's absurdly indigestible but surprisingly watchable, thanks to classy camerawork from George Robinson, with Carradine making - all too briefly - a superb Dracula. Mad doctor Karloff and the Frankenstein monster (Strange) meet their end in quicksands.
