Frankenstein
DramaFantasyHorrorSci-FiThriller71 min
Colin Clive is Henry Frankenstein, a scientist obsessed with assembling body parts and shocking them into life in his laboratory. When Boris Karloff’s creature awakens, Henry’s triumph turns to panic as the being meets a world that fears and rejects him. The story follows the fallout from that experiment, moving from graveyard and lab to a village closing in on what it doesn’t understand. Shot in black and white, the film centers on the clash between reckless ambition and the suffering of a monster brought into existence without any place to belong.
