I Like It Because Of James Whale's Direction, The Screenplay By Francis Edward Faragoh And Garrett Fort, Arthur Edeson's Cinematography And Boris Karloff's Performance As Frankenstein's Monster.

Even for today's standards, this movie is one the bests that the genre has to offer. It holds up well for being a classic and is directed beautifully. It is a pure masterpiece that can still give you chills.

I grew up on old movies, and Frankenstein is one of the greatest horror movies ever. Boris Karloff (who was called simply "Karloff" for effect) was a phenomenal actor. The scene that always scared me the most was when the Monster was at the lake, and the little girl wants to play with him. It's a heart-wrenching sequence, and it originally was taken out of the movie. Apparently at preview showings, there were those who fainted at the sight of the little girl being killed. I have always thought that through the "humanity" within the Monster, he is a pitiable creature indeed Brilliantly acted, wonderful direction, this is truly a classic.
