“It’s alive!” You probably would say that if you brought a human back to life. The movie Frankenstein, directed by James Whale was made “way ahead of its time.” Dr. Frankenstein robs a grave and brings it back home. With the help from his assistant, he tries to bring the dead guy back to life. After that, the “monster” goes around and does very bad things.
The main analysis from this movie was the makeup on Frankenstein. The makeup over exaggerates because since it was the first horror film to do that in order to creep viewers out. The makeup from the movie shaped the way wardrobe/makeup is used today. Another main part of the analysis is the camera angles. This was before the technicolor camera was used so of course it was in black and white. A lot of the camera angles were choppy and you could actually tell when it was choppy because of trying it out. Sound was also used in the movie, four years after sound was invented like for example, the music was very loud and suspenseful.
I would recommend this movie for everybody because the film was really good for 1931. If you’re seeing this movie for the first time, prepare to get scared.
Frankenstein was the first horror movie that shaped the rest of our lives and emotions with horror movies. I would give this movie a 69 out of 100.
