“A monster science created—but could not destroy!” Considered by many to be the greatest horror film of all time, James Whale’s FRANKENSTEIN tells the at once terrifying and poetic tale of a maniacal scientist (Colin Clive) whose obsession with creating a living being from dead body parts has tragic and shocking consequences. Adapted from the quintessential gothic novel by Mary Shelley, this is the film that made Boris Karloff a genre icon and ushered in a new era of horror.
