Mark's Best of 2025

Seasons greetings, faithful readers, and welcome to what could loosely be called my best of 2025.

Frankenstein (1931 Movie)

Henry Frankenstein: "Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!"
Victor Moritz: "Henry – in the name of God!"
Henry Frankenstein: "Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!"

Directly following the huge success of Dracula, which I recently reviewed, Universal wanted to cash in on that triumph, and turned to another monster of classic literature, Frankenstein. What they created was a film that surpassed its predecessor and is a masterpiece of classic horror.
