Frankenstein (1931) • Discape

The man who made a monster.

Frankenstein (1931) tells the story of a scientist who, in his obsession with conquering death, assembles a living being from stolen body parts. His creation, misunderstood and feared, becomes a tragic figure who brings terror and destruction to those around him. A cornerstone of Universal horror, the film combines gothic atmosphere and expressionist visuals to explore ambition, morality, and monstrosity.
