FRANKENSTEIN

 

"The single most important horror film ever made, and it still looks great today." - Black-and-White-Movies.com

"The audience for this type of film is probably the detective story readers and the mystery yarn radio listeners."
- Alfred Rushford Greason, Variety

"Like only a handful of other films, 1931's Frankenstein has cast a shadow across a century." - Keith Phipps, A.V. Club

Boris Karloff is the screen's most tragic and memorable monster in Frankenstein. Tampering with life and death, Dr. Frankenstein pieces together salvaged body parts to create a human monster in James Whale's 1931 adaptation of a timeless classic. Frankenstein: It's alive!


THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
Warning! The Monster demands a mate!

"The best of the Frankenstein movies." - Roger Ebert

"The claustrophobic castle and laboratory sets are balanced by spacious candelit chambers with shiny floors and columns, all covered with shadows, and the expressionistic forest is wonderful fight to behold."- Nigel Honeybone, HorrorNews.net

"Bride is often cited as Whale's masterpiece, and one of the reasons surely is his intentional lacing of humor throughout that never completely undercuts the horror or pathos." - Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

One of the most popular horror classics of all time and an acclaimed sequel to the original Frankenstein. The legendary Boris Karloff reprises his role as the screen's most misunderstood monster who now longs for a mate of his own. Colin Clive is back as the overly ambitious Dr. Frankenstein, who creates the ill-fated bride (Elsa Lanchester). Directed by the original's James Whale (his last horror film) and featuring a haunting melodic score, The Bride of Frankenstein ranks as one of the finest films not only of the genre, but for all time.
