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.

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.
