The first of many


Frankenstein (1910)

Directed by J. Searle Dawley this film based on the novel of the same name stars Augustus Phillips , Charles Ogle and Mary Fuller. We see a very abbreviated version of the famous story.

Running around 15 minutes in length this adaptation is only ever going to be a snap shot of a few moments from the novel it is based on. Really this only a version to watch if you are already familiar with the source material. The special effects are fine but nothing special given the other films of the era.

2/5
