Sci-Fi Classic Review: FRANKENSTEIN (1931) [REMASTERED]

James Whale's Universal Monster classic is one of the most influential films ever made, and it deserves its reputation as a seminal example of what can be possible when you mix science-fiction with gothic horror. It is, in my somewhat-less-than-humble opinion, far superior even to Mary Shelley's original novel.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I love this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
