Not a quibble about the quality of the films but the region one release of this also has Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein and House of Frankenstein on it. Region two short changed again.

This is the original film version of the Mary Shelly book "Frankenstein", and in spite of it somewhat simplistic dramaturgy, it should be a must for all fans of monster movies or classical cinematography. The effects and make up are, for their time, excellent. There are some plot changes, shifting the moral of the story somewhat, compared to the original story. Where Shelly's moral was very contemporary, even today, namely that man should not temper with the natural order of things, emphasizing the dangers of ability without humility, the movie's moral is more along the lines of "if you're going to play God, make sure you get a qualified assistant"...

If you buy all 3 Universal monsters collections (Dracula, Wolf Man & Frankenstein) on R2, you'll have spent £45 plus postage, and own 6 seminal horror movies. - so why the one star?
Because if you buy the "Monsters legacy collection" on R1, you'll have the same 6 movies, 8 more universal horror movies from the series', the 1931 Spanish version of Dracula and 3 hand painted min-busts from sideshow collectables, all in a kick ass presentation box, and you'll have only spent £35 including shipping from the US!!!
DO NOT BUT THE UK VERSIONS - if you do, then you're giving distributors a green-light to continue ripping off the Brits!
