MCT:July 5, 2008James Whale's take on the classic Frankenstein is probably one of the first horror flicks to actually scare people. It was just excellent.

MCT:June 29, 2008Mary Shelley's brilliant novel about birth, playing God, what makes a monster or a man, and the dangers of technology gets a twisted macabre early-talkie treatment in a now classic film. Actually, it's beyond classic. It's an iconoclast. That rare level where a piece of art is so inspirational and influential that it seems to exist outside of time as we think of it, like it always has been and always will be. Boris Karloff's performance, what more can be said about it really? It's soulful and haunted, moving and frightening. His gaunt appearance and labored walk might not accurately reflect how the monster is described in the book, but it gives across the tormented and tortured soul at the center of the work. There are some dark, macabre, and disturbing images for the time period. Seeing two men wait in the cemetery to dig up a freshly buried body is dark enough, but seeing those same two men cut down freshly hung bodies is just plain macabre and twisted to the next level. The plot might not be completely faithful to the novel, but it correctly captures the tone, mood, characterization, and general feel.

MCT:June 15, 2008Saw this in my AP Lit class after we read Mary Shelley's book...wow, there was no Igor in the book, and Frankenstein did not pitch little old crazy biddies down a well either.

Sigh, I know that our generation has grown up to be accustomed to this sort of horror and the story's shock value has worn, but with that said, it was pretty good. Oh, except for the fact that his name was Henry Frankenstein instead of Victor, and the fact that instead of Henry Clerval (allegedly), the dude's name was Victor Moritz (Victor Frankenstein + Justine Moritz?)...and the fact that the college was called Golstadt.....HOW FRIGGIN HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO ADD AN "IN" TO THE BEGINNING? Okay, sorry, ranting, but it's just how I feel.

A materpiece. From Boris Karloff's brilliant pantomime to Colin Clive's manic jadeness this is a classic. The production design, from the expressionist motifs to the legendary laboratory are iconic.
