Frankenstein (1931)
Loosely based on the Mary Shelley novel this classic Universal monster film stars Boris Karloff as the monster. A young scientists leaves his university and fiancée to dabble in the dark arts of creating life with monstrous results.
This film is relatively short and does not stick especially closely to the original novel, in it's time it was far more shocking than a modern audience would find it leading to heavy censorship in some states. While the film does lack a lot of the depth of the novel it is probably decent enough to frighten young children although older viewers will probably find it fairly weak.
3/5
