(1931) Directed by James Whale. Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mae Clark, Dwight Frye. (70 min.)
It’s alive! Whale created the template for all mad scientists and their creations with this still-electrifying tale, originally written by a teenage feminist in 1818. Karloff never completely escaped his masterful monster, a “lost, mewling patchwork corpse … a conception and execution unrivaled in fantastic cinema” (Michael Atkinson, Village Voice).
