Despite all the accepted props, from the lonely Southern plantation set in a miasmic bog to the squeaking bats and creaking coffins, this thriller is a pretty pallid offering.

All you have to do is get past the clumsiness of Lon Chaney, Jr., in the lead role, and you’re off to enjoying one more of Universal’s dependably enjoyable monsterfests.

Done in by a weak script.

The script is far from wonderful, and offers Siodmak little to get his teeth into, notwithstanding a beautifully atmospheric first entry for the Count (Chaney and coffin rising from the misty depths of a lake) and an effective finale.
02/09/06
Despite a miscast Chaney, this is one of the true gems of 40s horror.
05/26/04
A sequel with some bite to it.
10/12/02
Aside from the big hole named Chaney in the middle of the film, this is one of the most interesting ... entries in Universal's long-running series of monster movies.
12/10/05
Tired and dreary, the youngest of the Count’s clan fails to measure up to his classic dad and his older sister.
09/11/01
While it is quite silly and suffers from one of the worst casting decisions in the 33 year history of the classic Universal horror, Son of Dracula is actually halfway decent.
10/29/09
It's a good entry of its type.
