Boris Karloff stars as the screen's most memorable monster in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human monster (Boris Karloff) out of lifeless body parts. It's director James Whale's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel blended with Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity that makes Frankenstein a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.

Critics Consensus: Still unnerving to this day, Frankenstein adroitly explores the fine line between genius and madness, and features Boris Karloff's legendary, frightening performance as the monster.

It is the small moments of empathy that stand out here. That is where James Whale shines and as a queer director, he is a master of his craft.

[James Whale] is to be complimented upon his handling of the incidents chosen from the book, and the artistry with which he has built up the picture.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Harold V. Cohen

It is all hooey, to be sure, hooey of the simplest sort, but it has been so expertly assembled and so smartly dressed that it becomes a fine example of the school of the cinema that seeks to shiver and not convince.

A blood-curdling drama which so out-Draculas Dracula that the latter might as well be a Sunday afternoon parlor game.

It might have degenerated into mere stuff and nonsense. Instead, it sets you quivering on more than one occasion, and leaves you a bit shaken after it's all over.
