Frankenstein (1931) 

In this iconic horror classic, Frankenstein tells the haunting tale of Dr. Henry Frankenstein, a brilliant and obsessed scientist who becomes consumed by the desire to unlock the secret of life itself. Driven to create life from death, he stitches together a patchwork creature from stolen body parts and harnesses the power of lightning to bring it to life. But as the monster awakens, Dr. Frankenstein realizes the grave consequences of his actions. In a world that rejects and fears him, the misunderstood creature seeks revenge on its creator. With themes of ambition, morality, and the consequences of playing God, Frankenstein remains a timeless horror classic. 

Directed by James Whale, 1931, 70 minutes, Not Rated.
