This is the original universal Studio release featuring Boris Karloff
as the Frankenstein Monster. I always liked Karloff's portrayal of
the pieced-together creature. He really added that special quality
that made you feel sorry for the monster. Of course there were some
Frankenstein movies that made you feel sorry for the viewers. This
movie, though, is an absolute must-buy-right-now for anyone who loves
classic horror movies. It's not scary at all by today's standards but
it's the quality that Karloff's performance gives to the character
that really makes the film. |
