Directed by James Whale
The greatest film by one of the greatest horror directors of all-time. Equal parts entertaining and impressive, this movie takes a monster and makes it into an incredibly compelling lead, thanks largely to the fiercely passionate and dedicated performance by Claude Rains. Though the movie itself isn't "scary", there are many great scenes surrounding Rains' psychotic and tragic lead that leave a strong impression. A fantastic performance piece as well as a revolutionary, brilliantly edited and constructed paranoid horror/mystery/sci-fi film with plenty of laughs and impressive special effects. The best Universal monster movie, without a doubt.
★★★★★★★★★★
