Movie Review by B Movie Ben

May 3rd, 2008

There are no Monsters Here...

Favorite Movie Quote: "There was a time when this place was full of pricks. Big, hard, arrogant pricks."

32 Awards, including an Oscar, and another 23 nominations. In all that they almost neglected to mention that this is possibly the best work that Brendan Fraser has ever done, at least in my opinion.

It is the story of the last days of James Whale, played exquisitely by Sir Ian McKellen, who's Bride of Frankenstein was among the best films to ever come out of Universal Studios. Whale was the master of horror at Universal. His Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein made a star of Boris Karloff. He made films that transcended their place and were the backbone of the monster era at Universal.

Lynn Redgrave as Whale's housekeeper Hanna, was absolutely fabulous and provided much humor to this film. Of course, director Bill Condon's screenplay was just full of humor.

You cannot possible call yourself human and not find this film to be touching and powerful.
