This film is confused about what it wants to say about the monster and Frankenstein's project. On the one hand it suggests that the monster is inherently evil because of its "evil brain"; on the other hand it says that perhaps all he needs is for someone to take care of him. Fortunately the film is more successful in other areas. The sound is excellent for the time, and Whale's direction, Karloff's monster and the pacing team up to make this a very enjoyable film.

Sure, it's an inspiration to a whole bunch of movies. But it's boring. I had to fast forward through 1/3 of the movie. And I love classic movies from this period. This one just didn't have a lot for me.

Wonderfully compelling. It had a poetic simplicity about it that likened it more to a short. A very efficient film that just wont let go of the viewer's eyes.

First and best of the Universal series. Dr. F's creation is the ultimate misunderstood adolescent: he doesn't know how to deal with the world, and the world doesn't know how to deal with him. As such this is not only highly well made and spooky, but tragic as well -- an element you just don't see much in horror movies anymore

An outstanding film from everywhere you look at it. This film has lasted the test of time like few films from it's time did, with great sets and performances from everyone involved; the monster design is very neat too. What did bother me was the lack of sympathy for the monster; a subtle hint of innocence and desperation was notable in it's character, but all in all no development was put to showcase the monster as more than a murderous villian. Karloff is fantastic, though. Overall, great film.

I thought the acting was good - except for Dr. Frankenstein's fiance, who is just annoying. Boris Karloff (as the monster) was particularly good. But again, there wasn't really much to it... seemed like there was very little closure to the story - although, I guess there are plenty of sequels to the provide it instead. Still, though, it was a fun watch.
