Frankenstein, but better
22 September 2023
Now I'm not a huge fan of early cinema. They intrigue me as time capsules but I typically have a hard time enjoying the low value production, compared to modern day films. I watched the 1931 Frankenstein and enjoyed it about as much as I've enjoyed other 1930's movies.

With that being said, The Bride of Frankenstein was a film that I genuinely found myself enjoying. It still had the classic 1930's elements but it had improved on many aspects from the first film. The characters are more fleshed out and are overall more interesting to watch. The story is a bit more intricate, with unexpected moments that keep your intrigue. And there are attempted comedic bits that break up the otherwise bleak tone of the film.

Overall, in spite of early production value, I found it to be quite enjoyable.
