Monolithic on every level. The way the villager carries his dead child through the town... haunting stuff.

mary shelley in 1818: y'all ready to uhhhhh question morality and what makes someone god?
Madison 🎭Jun 22, 2025This is a fine enough film on its own and an absolutely shocking watch by 1930s standards, but I did not do it any favors by reading the vastly superior original novel beforehand. This lacks both the pathos and the most haunting passages of the novel; nothing here even…
James (Schaffrillas)Oct 21, 2021i'm just like frankenstein except that when he decides he wants to feel like god he does crazy scientific experiments and i just play the sims for 20 minutes until i get bored

I just wanted to give the monster a hug
ZaraGwenSep 4, 2022Almost impossible to imagine what seeing this in theaters must have been like for people in '31. Boris Karloff's face has been on so many Halloween decorations and Fangoria covers over the years that it's easy to forget that he's giving an actual layered and human…

10000BCman likedFrankensteinOH MY GOD FRANKENSTEIN WAS THE DOCTOR ALL ALONG
William Luckenbach lovedFrankensteinStill just as thought-provoking now as it was back in 1931, Frankenstein is an undisputed classic film worth watching for any self proclaimed film buff or horror fan. 8.5/10
- faithy taytay is "meh" onFrankenstein
i get and respect that it’s a classic, and i really appreciate that it didn’t scare me like most horror movies do, but it just…wasn’t my thing 🤷🏻♀️ not bad for 1931 tho🫡
jovanna is "meh" onFrankensteini know it’s a classic but but me i was a little hard to watch idk maybe bc it’s an old movie but it’s like something it’s missing in there
Morgan lovedFrankensteinincredibly charming and sad, i felt so bad for The Monster, i love him so dearly and he deserved so much better

7/10
CvptvinHowdy lovedFrankensteinI have not watched most of the Universal Monsters, but out of the Big 8, I've had Dracula as my favorite, but that changes today after watching both in theaters. Frankenstein is my favorite. It's better paced, and scenes here that are always remembered evn after almost 100 years.
Dyl lovedFrankenstein“An Angel Makes itself look scary to ward the evil away” Perfect description of Frankenstein he did nothing wrong nothing he did was bad in anyway as he didn’t mean the accidental deaths and the purposed ones were deserved. Its a must watch due to the fact of how old it is 8.9/10
