Frankenstein (1931)

Hoezo in KINO

“You have created a monster, and it will destroy you!” Mary Shelley’s milestone novel was brought to the screen in iconic fashion in the early 1930’s, when a movie monster craze gripped the cinematic world with werewolves, vampires, invisible men and mummies. To celebrate the release of Yorgos Lanthimos’ loose interpretation of this gothic horror tale with Poor Things, we screen Frankenstein starting February 5th. English language without subtitles.

Frankenstein searches for the elusive being and eventually must confront his tormented creation.
