Why watch this film?
One of the greatest horror classics, responsible for launching Boris Karloff as one of the genre's great stars and, along with 'Dracula', putting Universal as the studio of monsters. This is definitely one of the most influential horror films, tackling the existential drama from Mary Shelley's book in an interesting way along with a memorable aesthetic and cinematography.

Bride of Frankenstein
Within the Universal Pictures' Classic Monster canon, 'Bride of Frankenstein' is one of the best and most beloved films, not just a worthy sequel to the original episode, but also a production with its own identity, tone and even multiple readings -- the movie has become a kind of queer icon. Like its predecessor, it diverges from Mary Shelley's source material. However, it surpassed it as a reference in the Frankenstein mythology, and its main character (played by Elsa Lanchester) became as iconic as the monster itself.
The Invisible Man
"The Invisible Man" may not be as iconic as "Frankenstein" or "Dracula", but it is undoubtedly the most technically impressive movie in the Universal Monsters canon to date. The script is a crude simplification of the original novel - aligned with the sensationalism of the films produced by Universal Pictures at the time - but it served as a pretext for one of the great achievements in practical special effects of classic Hollywood.

Sick of Myself
Increasingly overshadowed by her boyfriend's recent rise to fame as a contemporary artist creating sculptures from stolen furniture, Signe hatches a vicious plan to reclaim her rightfully deserved attention within the milieu of Oslo's cultural elite.
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw
The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw is a contemporary take on folk horror about a beautiful young woman and her domineering mother, occultists living in secret among a devoutly Protestant village, and who are accused of witchcraft when an unknown plague begins to ravage the inhabitants. Despite some narrative meandering, the performances and genuinely chilling atmosphere make this a modestly budgeted but highly enjoyable horror for genre fans.
The Boogeyman
Directed by Rob Savage (of the excellent Beware Who You Call) The Boogeyman is another movie that uses a monster to talk about a family in mourning. Will Harper (Chris Messina) is father to two girls, the young Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) and the independent Sadie (Sophie Thatcher). And they are not in the best of times: their mother has just died and the family's days have become gloomy. That's where the monster, who is nothing more than a folkloric creature personifying fear, comes in. It's in the darkness, in the closet of the room, in the damp corner of the wall. The first 20 to 25 minutes of The Boogeyman are desperate: Savage shows mastery of the camera and the atmosphere, giving fear at every turn, every light that goes out, every moment that Sawyer decides to take a look under the bed. Then it ends up turning into a kind of generic Babadook, without much life. But even so, it can be a fun horror movie that, when seen with friends, can generate scares and laughter.
The Black Demon
Oilman Paul Sturges idyllic family vacation turns into a nightmare when they encounter a ferocious megalodon shark that will stop at nothing to protect its territory. Stranded and under constant attack, Paul and his family must somehow find a way to get his family back to shore alive before it strikes again in this epic battle between humans and nature.
