USA 1931/1935 | James Whale | vostFR | 70’+74‘ | Cast : Boris Karloff, Colin Clive | D'après : le roman de Mary Shelley

Dans Frankenstein, le Dr Henry Frankenstein crée un monstre vivant à partir de parties de cadavres, mais la créature devient violente en luttant contre le rejet. Dans The Wife of Frankenstein, le Dr Frankenstein est contraint de créer une compagne féminine pour le monstre, mais l'expérience tourne au désastre…

« The most important horror movie ever made, with Boris Karloff joining the immortals as the flat-headed, big-booted, sad-eyed monster. » (Empire, on “Frankenstein”)

« James Whale's Frankenstein and its sequel The Bride of Frankenstein are seminal works that combine Gothic horror with profound human themes, offering a chilling exploration of creation, monstrosity, and the quest for acceptance. Together, they stand as towering achievements in early cinema, defined by their atmospheric tension and unforgettable performances. » (The New York Times)
