 Frankenstein (1931) Movie Review
Fans of science fiction and horror should see this film, which is still relevant today. There has
been some criticism that Frankenstein is out of date. Personally, I don't think so; it isn't the most
lavish of pictures, but it is still a fantastic film that I find both disturbing and captivating. The
music soundtrack is haunting, mournful, and atmospheric, and the Gothic set design is incredibly
innovative, supported by the stunning cinematography with suitably weird camera angles. The
directing of James Whale is also quite outstanding; it is incredibly concentrated and inventive.
The Monster is a brilliant invention, and the narrative is without a doubt a classic, tense, dark,
and sad. Boris Karloff is fantastic in the character of The Monster, conveying emotion well. The
sets and lighting work together to create a fantastic ambience. Colin Clive plays the quirky
Henry Frankenstein admirably, while Mae Clarke plays an intriguing and sympathetic Elizabeth.
Boris Karloff, without a doubt, had the finest performance and, more importantly, the definitive
representation of the monster. With his make-up, he's practically unrecognizable and terrifying,
and while he's terrifying with his towering presence and terrifying look in his eyes, his monster is
also rather touching, especially as he reaches out to capture a ray of sunshine. Overall, this film
is surprising, intriguing, and just fantastic.
A fantastic watch in general.
9/10.
