#228 – Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Posted in IMDb Top 250, Movies & TV on March 29th, 2009

I put off watching this movie for far too long. It put the brakes on my little project to watch the top IMDb 250 films. I got a little sick of watching all these old movies despite most of them being fantastic. I needed a little change and so I watched some popcorn movies this past week. All out of my system and back to the list now.

Bride of Frankenstein was better than I imagined it would be. The visual effects were surprisingly good for the thirties and the mood was just right for a horror flick. Lots of nice dark scenes with hard shadows. Some good stuff there. The plot wasn’t the strongest and the acting a bit over the top which was to be expected. All in all a good fun watch that doesn”t take up too much time at under an hour and twenty minutes. For pleasantly surprising me I gave it a 7/10.
