Karloff manages to invest the character with some subtleties of emotion that are surprisingly real and touching.

Whale added an element of playful sexuality to this version, casting the proceedings in a bizarre visual framework that makes this film a good deal more surreal than the original.

Another astonishing chapter in the career of the Monster.
Frank S. Nugent, New York Times

Whale's most perfectly realised movie, a delight from start to finish.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Seen today, Whale's masterpiece is more surprising than when it was made because today's audiences are more alert to its buried hints of homosexuality, necrophilia and sacrilege. But you don't have to deconstruct it to enjoy it.
