My Hero

Advantages: Good spooky film, easy to get a hold of, not too long
Disadvantages: bit dated

...be scared silly of the Frankenstein Monster films and I think this was the one that scared me the most. It's very short, only just over an hour long, and probably not very scary if you watch it now as an adult but when you are young it's terrifying. It's in black and white was made in 1931 so it's almost as old as me! It stars Colin Clive as Doctor Frankensein who is on the quest to make a real live bloke out of the dead parts of other blokes. ...
...the brain (or head) of Frankenstein gets swapped with the brain (or head) of a mad man and then all hell breaks out. It stars our hero Boris Karloff as the most unattractive 'son' of Frankenstein and you have to feel sorry for the guy as nothing seems to go right for him. Lasses just run of screaming when they see him as his 'dad' made him look proper unattractive, with an odd face and a humpy back. Frankenstein also has a really funny (strange) ...

Review of Frankenstein (DVD)

To a brave new world of Gods and Monsters

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...splat/gore movie Neil? Not in the slightest. My personal favourite, the film I love above all others barely scrapes into the horror genre anymore. A film so old it's only just in the sound era. After my review of Singin' In The Rain many may assume that that's the film I worship but the truth is even more bizarre, for indeed my celluloid love affair is with someone far different to Gene Kelly or Judy Garland. My most revered film of all times is...drum ...
...An ancient horror film from the depths of Hollywood history. And a sequel at that. All of this is true - The Bride IS a sequel and it IS ancient (1935 to be precise). For whatever reason (and hopefully I'll detail one or two of them) though it's held me spellbound ever since and hopefully you'll forgive me this labour of love as I review it. Will I be wearing rose tinted spectacles? Probably, but maybe I can inject enough enthusiasm to get more people ...

Review of Horror (Box Set) (DVD)

the most important horror film ever made

Advantages: review
Disadvantages: biased

The most important,horror movie ever made,with Boris Karloff joining the immortals as the flat headed,big-booted,sad eyed monster-whom director James Whale made a resonant figure by dressing him up like one of the scarred WW1 veterans then on the skids all over America. Colin Clive,s neurotic mad scientist and Dwight Frye,s hunchbacked brain dropper,collaborate on the making of a man,but the innocent turn,s savage when mistreated by all and ...
