Rating:8/10
One of the things about the older black and whites, especially in the '30's, was that it always seem to have a bit too much dialogue.  Not this one.  Not a wasted scene here folks.  This is one of the original horror films.  The acting was very good, especially Karloff.  Karloff, a relative unknown, made the most of his time in the movie.  He had no dialogue and didn't have a lot of scenes.  His makeup job was excellent.  Just as good back then as today.  The one thing I didn't like was the tacked on happy ending, but considering with what the director had to work with at the time, I guess that was the only way to go.  This is one of the great horror classic films of all time, and it will still stand the test of time.
