SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Julian R. White Of course, one of the best monster movies of all time, and one of which we all know, it's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. What's funny is most people get confused, and think the monster is called Frankenstein. In reality, Frankenstein is the name of the scientist who created it. Being that this film is from 1931, starring the amazing Boris Karloff, it really is far ahead of its time. Beautiful effects, and a plot line that doesn't drag along and bore you like a lot of older monster films. In the age it was made, the film must have been absolutely terrifying. A humongous mash up of body parts made into a body that has the mind of a criminal. Sounds like some kind of horrific drug trip. My overall opinion of the movie though? It's wonderful. I've always been a fan of Karloff's and I could watch it again and again.

Ian (Flash Review)This effort is what kicked off several sequels and other spin offs. The plot in a nutshell for those unfamiliar is Frankenstein is actually a scientist who has been experimenting to see if he can bring life to dead things. After small animal tests, he feels he is now ready to resurrect a human so he and his partner Fritz search a graveyard for a worthy body and parts. As everyone knows, his experiment works and his monster awakens much to his ecstatic enthusiasm. The monster can't speak yet manages to convey many emotions. So well in fact that during the story, you kind of care for the old lug. The film is rather simple and while not as scary today as it was in the early 30's, it is neat to see the pure frightening idea shine. Unfortunately, due to a brain mix-up, his actions are clumsy and imposing. Will the monster be able to blend into society? Special mention to the set creators as Frankenstein's mansion/castle was very dramatically haunting.

tylergee005 I try and keep my modern biases out of my movie going, but I feel this film is so dated, that it's almost unenjoyable. Not to say that I haven't enjoyed films even older than this one, but I feel that in what it's trying to do, scare, horrify, terrorize, it's not so effective anymore. To explain further, it's a bit boring, and drones on in certain instances, and doesn't do a satisfying job at being a horror film. On this basis I can't rate it as good since In fact we are viewing this in the modern era, and I can't say it will be a good film to watch. However I do appreciate it as an historical piece which is why I chose to watch it, and for that it interests me, but not entertains.

WildestDreams Fast-paced and engaging. Gothic atmosphere is immersive. The creators used the novel as a springboard to invent a sort of separate mythology. They succeeded totally.I don't pretend to be an expert on old cinema. But I do need to explain how impressive this is: Even with fewer tools at hand to obscure the fiction of a motion picture, I could not outsmart this movie. I watched 1931's 'stein and the '35 sequel back-to-back, alone and in the dark. I was then victimized by various nightmares throughout my sleep. To the parties responsible for these high- caliber classics: well-played, folks.
