The Hunchback of Notre Dame Ratings & Reviews
Film Inquiry
Jules Caldeira
This iteration of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a must for Chaney fans, Hugo Stans, or anyone who's seen the Disney film and is looking for something a little more true in tone to the book.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
Every aspect of the studio machine was working on all cylinders, yet The Hunchback of Notre Dame would have accounted for nothing without the anchoring performance by Lon Chaney.
Chicago Daily News
Carl Sandburg
In The Hunchback of Notre Dame may be seen what is surely Lon Chaney's masterpiece, the best piece of character work he has done in his interesting life in the movies.
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
Every architectural detail, from the gargoyles down, is intact. It is a stupendous scene -- so good, in fact, that a great many incredulous observers will shake their heads wisely and announce that the whole thing is no more than a clever fake.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
An awe-inspiring achievement, featuring magnificent sets (built on the Universal backlot), the proverbial cast of thousands (the crowd scenes are mesmerizing), and an opportunity to catch Lon Chaney at his most commanding.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Praise must be given to the massive sets, built on studio lots yet containing a bounty of details and incredible recreations of Parisian locales.
1428 Elm
Alan French
Despite being 95 years old, it remains a classic. It also marks a true beginning of Universal Monster Films that would come to define horror for decades.
TV Guide
The fourth and most spectacular silent version of Victor Hugo's classic story Notre-Dame de Paris made Lon Chaney a major star.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's a total physical transformation that's often stunning to behold, selling effective make-up effects and behavior extremes with real gusto.
PopMatters
J.C. Maçek III
From any facet or dimension, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a true classic in its own right due to its ambition, scope, scale and payoff. However, the real reason to see this film is the incomparable performance of one Lon Chaney.
Turner Classic Movies Online
Sean Axmaker
Lon Chaney created a lot of twisted wretches, vengeful villains, and criminal masterminds, but Quasimodo remains his most sympathetic screen character.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
It's held up remarkably well.
Common Sense Media
M. Faust
This classic silent film will appeal to teens.
Film School Rejects
Cole Abaius
Even though it diverts from the original novel, the film is still ultimately a tragic, triumphant story.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It opened at Carnegie Hall instead of a regular movie house, marking it as more than a movie--an event.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
Lon Chaney's Quasimodo is one of early cinema's most forlorn and tragic movie monsters, on par with King Kong and Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's creation.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Of interest today strictly for Lon Chaney's bell-ringing performance.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Absolutely chilling, sad, awesome Chaney
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The self-torture demanded by Chaney's makeup is impressive, as are the scales of the sets and the crowd scenes, but nothing comes to life under the flat direction of Wallace Worsley.
