Finally, I saw Frankenstein!

I liked it, it is good and it is definitely a mark in the history of Cinema but I must confess that I thought this Horror Classic would blow me away and it didn't.

Although I think it needed more creepiness in the atmosphere, I didn't felt that as much as I needed. Another thing that bothered me a bit was also the over the top acting, very teatrical. It should have been more natural.

The Frankenstein Monster is a memorable character! A huge and strong creature that never asked to be in the world. Boris Karloff was great incarnating this beast. I found Fritz maybe a bit too silly although I know he is supposed to be really mad. The set design is amazing, some of the sets are very well done!

It may not have the impact that it had in 1931 but it's definitely a remarkable work that needs to be seen.

Its no where near as horrifying as it would've been in its time but there are still some aspects of Frankenstein that still work in the modern day. Boris Karloff is still the most legendary portrayal of the character and you do feel little sympathy for Frankenstein and some of the other characters. I was also a little surprised with some of the scenes that are featured in this movie. It wasn't afraid to get a little gruesome.

this flew by quick. the monster is a compelling character and deserved so much better. maria was deserving of the world. this is a beautiful film, the painted backgrounds behind the rocks during the mob search scene were very cool and iconic and i loved it.

It is an horror movie classic.

Interesting movie with some really sublime moments: the expressionistic graverobbing scene, the father's walk through town with his daughter in his arms, etc. Karloff, obviously, has a genre-defining performance and everything that happens with him is fundamentally interesting. The movie struggles, though, because of an insistence on focusing on the Doctor's home life: the father's annoyance with his obsession, the nagging fiancee, the random friend. Momentum slows during these scenes, and they do not sufficiently allow us to connect with the characters in a way that would make the conclusion of the film any more tense.

Second film of Peacock's Halloween movies presented by Jamie Lee Curtis and it has many great movies on there. This came out the same year as Dracula and is in the same cinematic universe. I think people like this better is bc there's no "outdated" effects like in Dracula but I personally liked Dracula more. Boris was great in this but like superhero movies from the 70s to the 2000s, the great horror actors got typecast and only got roles like or similar to their famous one, very sad when that happens to actors and actresses.

One of the best classic horror films! It's a multi-layered horror classic that packs much into its brisk runtime. I like this one a lot more than the other universal horror films because it actually holds up. You can easily how much influence this film has on the genre. Colin Clive portrays the madness of the character incredibly well and Boris Karloff gives a menacing yet sympathetic performance as the monster.

I enjoyed this more than Dracula. Karloff gets all the praise but I was surprised by the actor who played Frankenstein. He was really great. Judging the rest of the performances by modern standards is stupid.

Its a classic film that can still be enjoyed today. For a film that's nearly 100 years old it holds up surprisingly well. The film is well designed acted and shot. While it does not provide the same special effects and terrors of modern horror, its still a film that can scare someone to there very core. Its a true masterpiece of horror that I think that we can all credit for being the start of something new and intriguing.
