Скачать или смотреть Frankenstein - 1910 - Early Classic Thomas Edison Version - Full Film

Frankenstein (1910) is a silent horror short film produced by Thomas Edison’s Edison Studios and directed by J. Searle Dawley. Widely considered the first motion picture adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, the film runs approximately 12–16 minutes and offers a condensed yet atmospheric interpretation of the classic tale. Augustus Phillips stars as Dr. Frankenstein, with Charles Ogle portraying the Creature in a memorable and eerie performance, enhanced by primitive but effective special effects. Mary Fuller plays Elizabeth, Frankenstein's fiancée. The film deviates from Shelley’s narrative, focusing on the moral consequences of man playing God rather than the broader philosophical themes of the novel. A standout scene involves the creation of the Creature in a cauldron-like device, achieved through reverse film techniques. Long thought lost, the film was rediscovered in the 1970s and has since become a landmark in early American cinema and horror history.
