Title: Classic piece of 30`s science fiction
Review: Trough science fiction in the 1930`s was less popular than horror on the screen, this film is really up to the standard of "Dracula" or "Frankenstein". Beside the superb performance (or "voice") by Claude Rains, who delivers his lines in an unbelievable clear accent, director James Whale manages to create the same kind of "fairytale world" he used to deliver in "Frankenstein". The images of the snowy English countryside, the inn, the dead trees behind windows and the lonely small town streets are unforgetable. But besides this the black humor and the fine "English" characters are wothy a movie admission alone. Just sit down on a quiet Winter evening and watch this science fiction vision from another time....
