    Bring back having a guy introduce the movie and warning the audience it’s going to be spooky (ik it was a marketing gimmick but still)
  • KylachamJune 15, 2025
    I'm rating for a more modern audience who will find this almost century-old film not as scary, nor as shocking to the sensibilities, as the 1931 audience would have. However it does still represent a modernisation (for the time) of the horror genre, and is therefore essential viewing for historical cinephiles.
  • Mister ArnMay 14, 2025
    This is an iconic film that left its mark on modern culture. Everyone knows about Frankenstein, and the lighting-filled laboratory is part of the reason. It holds up extremely well for a film over 90 years old.
