This Frankenstein version is no less than 105 years old and probably the oldest one existing on screen. The writer and director is J. Searle Dawley and all in all he did a good job. There is just one problem with it. This is horror and the class of a horror film is usually measured by how scared you get watching the film. And I was not scared at all watching these 13 minutes. The makeup on the monster was pretty spectacular, but he looked really more like a mix of human and lion and I don't know. That's really not the way I imagines Frankenstein's monster. Anyway, this is black-and-white (tinted) and a silent film, even if they added music for it later on. If you love horror films, this one is worth a watch for historic reasons, otherwise you really don't need to give it a go. You're not missing much.
