Boris Karloff stars in Frankenstein, as the screen's most memorable monster, in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with life and death by creating a human monster (Karloff) out of lifeless body parts. Director James Whale's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel blended with Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity makes Frankenstein a masterpiece not only of the genre, but of all time.
In 1989, a misunderstood teenager has a high school crush — who just happens to be a handsome corpse! After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness…and a few missing body parts along the way.

A true classic that still holds up!!!This movie is important for so many reasons. It's the breakout role of the great Boris Karloff. It is also the debut of makeup artist Jack Pearice who defined the monsters look. This is the monster we remember and this is the look we all compare other versions with. The story is basic and based on a stage play rather than the book. Karloffs acting takes this Monster and makes you feel sorry for him and makes you feel his pain. This movie had many parts edited out in 1933 and had a disclaimer / warning inserted as this was heavy stuff 75 years ago. Thankfully all the cut footage was restored and the movie Re-mastered so we can enjoy this true classic the way it was ment to be viewed..Score: 5/5

One of my all time favorite filmsThis movie strikes a chord with me, because the monster is portrayed so sympathetically, I always see the monster as the victim not the villain..Score: 5/5
Frankenstein 1931I had never seen this very early version of the Monster's plight with Boris Karloff brilliantly portraying him. An oldy but goody!.Score: 5/5
FINALLY!!!!Cool!! I'm the first to write about the original Frankenstein.This is the classic that started it all! I was hoping that iTunes would release this ever since they came out with The Bride of Frankenstein (you can't have one without the other). I hope that iTunes comtinues releasing the classic "Universal" monster movies. How about The Invisible Man or Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman? Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein would be great too..Score: 5/5
Very Disappointed!Not sure why itunes has this movie as HD! It clearly is not. The movie has so much grain I could not watch the first 5 minutes! Horrible picture quality! Wast of money!.Score: 1/5
The film that deserves to be considered a classic!I read the book and loved it! That’s been so many years ago that I am amazed that I remember it! But that’s what makes a classic novel is when it is so good that you remember it for the rest of your life! To me, the story got not one, but TWO classic film adaptations: This wonderful gem and the 90s horror movie Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein! Which one is better? Hard to judge because both are FANTASTIC!!!.Score: 5/5
Birth of Boris Karloff's stardomI believe Bela Lugosi rejecting the role of the Monster was the smart move of his life and career. Karloff made the definitive version of Frankenstein's Monster a household name thanks to Jack Pierce's makeup..Score: 5/5

Rated or unrated (scenes deleted or not)?Not sure if this is the unedited version or not...? in the original, unrated version, a most memorable scene that was cut was when Frankenstein's creation was plucking flower petals (you love me, you love me not) with a little girl, who ends up thrown into the river (you love me not). i've heard the unedited version is worth waiting for..Score: 3/5

As good as they get.It is a timeless classic. A must see for any movie lover and a total must see for a classic-horror movie lover. Boris Karloff is scary but with a special something that almost makes you commit to the monster and you must know what happens. I know that sounds strange and maybe was not the intension of the movie but still I can not help but love this movie. I try never to be unfair in my reviews but the old black and white movies (in my opinion) are some of the best movies of all time. The only thing that would have made it better was a better score, but that sort of thing was just not an option when this movie was made. Recommended. xoxo.Score: 4/5

AMAZINGThis truely is as the decription says - a masterpiece not only of the genre, but of all time. Dracula (1931) would be #2 best horror movie of all time. I wish all horror movies could be simple classics like this. I don't know about your computer, because my computer's internet is being slow, but it takes a while to download. It's at 588 MB/849 MB right now and its been downloading for 14 hours. But it'll get there. I'll probly watch it tonight, and im beyond jacked :D 5 stars!!!!.Score: 5/5
