well, i saw that movie a few minutes ago... it was made in 1935... and I should to say, that producers of that film made it in a very high level! pretty good movie. in 1935 to make such movie? its something wonderfull... its much more better for me, that 'resident evil', which was made about 60 years after 'bride of the frankenstein'. the scene when frankentsein entered the old and blind man's house was scary (not very, but scary). and when old man ate dinner with frankenstein: smoked ciggars, drunk wine... was pretty funny and cool. 8 points from 10!

Don't forget that Bride wasn't really meant to be particularly frightening. James Whale intended it more as an exercise in riotous camp, and on that level it succeeds superbly.
Interestingly, though the movie had certain censorious types foaming at the mouth, Whale's charm and affability ensured that Bride was less heavily cut than it otherwise might have been.
It's a fave of mine and certainly one of the most outrageous films of the 30s!

It's not just good, it's great. The high point of Universal Horror for me. Far more accomplished than Browning's Dracula (as influential as that film is).
It's deeply cynical, satirical and quite subversive. Whale had a great flair for the grotesque and the misanthropic. His version of The Invisible Man is a joy as well.

BOF is groundbreaking, even visionary, and it still kicks righteous ass to this day. What a fine film!

Awesome movie. I particularily like the use of clips from the movie in the music video for Dig Up Her Bones from the Misfits

The one thing that annoys me the most when talking to people, is that they think the monster is Frankenstein. I try to explain to them that it is Victor Frankenstein and the monster is simply the monster.
