The Bride of Frankenstein - Review

Welcome back to another edition of 31 Days of Halloween Movies, I'm sorry I'm a little late doing many movie reviews in October, but I'm going to finish the rest of the movies I've left, and the next movie we're going to do is the 1935 movie called The Bride of Frankenstein" which was the film Frankenstein is a 1935 American science fiction horror film and is a sequel to the 1931 film "Frankenstein" with the same director James Whale and Colin Clive and Boris Karloff returned to Their roles. What's so amazing about this movie is that I really think this is better than the original I gave the first movie a 10 out of 10, but I think this movie is the best so far in every respect. I didn't know how you could do a better sequel and I think a lot of people before filming this didn't realize how good they were, but I think they realize what they can do with the story and they can embrace it in a lot of great ways with really great character moments and a lot of really great emotional arcs with Frankenstein's monster in This is a movie that always made me more emotionally interested. Seeing the better technical aspects, camera usage, and writing that they did in the first movie. I truly believe this is one of the greatest sequels of all time and I think this film has so much more to it than the original "Frankenstein" and this is a film I really want to watch again because of how poignant, wonderful and wonderful this horror film is. Let's start with the performances here Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster is great, he definitely gets some prominent screen time in this movie and so there are a lot of great cool things they do with his character. He's able to talk he's able to move better he learns and what the directors tried to do was give him the mind of a ten year old, but I don't know his interest in his sexual interests or his imagination more than a fifteen year old and so they made that really interesting they really got On a 10 year old's writing and trying to figure out what their vocabulary was like in their speech pattern that they used with Frankenstein's monster and I think just the level of detail in general is really fascinating especially for that time. Elsa Lanchester is amazing and so even in the 3 minutes to that Bride of Frankenstein in this movie she's really really great she's so iconic especially with the look of it and she doesn't really do much at all I think just the look of her and how she acts is really iconic. Colin Clive is also great and I think he was amazing in that first movie and he did so much in this movie and I think we really saw how good he could be as an actor moving from different ranges because of the emotional intensity and the way his character feels all the time. We all pretty much know how the original story of Frankenstein goes so watching it was kind of like going through the motions but obviously you have to appreciate it for its time but this story I had no idea where they were taking this story. It was more complex, there were subplots that were intertwined, there were some twists that I wasn't expecting, it was more of an emotional investment into the story and the characters that I found every idea to be really great and they did a very good job with the themes in this movie and it really feels like it More prominent than ever. The writing is great in this movie, I think some of the humor is really good in this movie, because the humor is a little more prominent like it was in the other movie and it works really well every time I think the dialogue is crisp it's like they put in a lot of work to make it fun Really and not just throwing them together they just have the monsters but they felt like they had the artistic creativity in them to make everything as interesting as possible and I feel as though the interactions between almost all of the humans are as interesting as the interactions of the monster and the people he meets. My favorite aspects of the movie is the scene between the hermit and Frankenstein's monster, it's really one of my favorite scenes in probably a very long time, it's something about it that just connected with me and it went the way I hoped it would go I delivered it perfectly it was very emotionally invested and I just felt That I was locked into it for some reason and I felt really angry just to feel bad because you know it can't go on forever from how amazing this moment is and I think it was really real in their performance and it really spoke to me personally about how we should treat people who don't We see them and don't necessarily know about it. It's like their heart and knowledge of who they are. They did it very scary especially for 1935 and I think this moment is somewhat better than in many horror films than it is today. A lot of improvements in this movie whether it's the work whether it's the directing whether it's some of the performances or even the way the story is told in the movie, there's a lot of improvements to come out and it's like James Whale after doing "The Invisible Man" in 1933, was... Going into this movie really wanting to make the story more wanting to do more with it and get more of his original image and with the movie I think it's amazing. I actually feel like the directing is much better in this movie I feel like there are so many uses of the camera as it slides into the lab and looks up someone's face I feel like there are a lot of poignant cuts that I have n't really seen up to this point that we see in movies now especially horror movies that seemed Like it was very impactful, and I don't know how impactful it was but it seemed like it was , and I loved that aspect of James Whale's dedication to just crafting this as amazing a movie as he could. The effect on the walls I mean this wanted this to be a huge hit and everyone really loved this movie everyone says it's better than the original and it really spawned the idea of ​​there being a cinematic universe or having sequels and doing something better than the first one because that wasn't really a thing at the time , so this is one of the first sequels ever produced. The only negative I feel I can put out there is the marketing for Bride of Frankenstein, they show her off in a big way in this movie and it's only in the last three minutes. It really did nothing and I also thought that was just frustrating because it was marketed so much in the trailers in the posters and everywhere you see it when you think of classic Universal monster movies. It was important to the theme and storytelling that the creative team would attempt and to be honest, I loved this movie as much as I said the first one , I'm glad this is the only black and white version I'll be doing. Never try to find any colorful version I think there is a charm and nostalgia to it that I really like I think this is definitely one of the best horror movies of all time I just think of the time he did it and it still holds up so incredibly good, more Much funnier, much better than that first masterpiece, this is a clear masterpiece. I would give this movie a 10 out of 10! Let me know guys have you seen "Bride of Frankenstein"? Do you think it's better than the first? Do you think it's worse than the first?
