Review:
Really great Frankenstein adaptation that manages to get a lot right while also having very few things wrong with it. The most obvious flaw is the storyline, which is just plain odd and doesn't really offer much to make it make sense so it tends to ramble along without really being realistic or coherent, and the copying of several foreign horrors at the time are a little obvious, yet this is still a lot of fun. From the low-budget, since the deformed scientist is so ludicrous looking it's almost laughable throughout his scenes despite trying to appear threatening, the foggy landscapes that surround everything and the inclusion of some nice action scenes throughout, it's quite enjoyable when it wants to be.
