I hate to say it, but Boris did it better. In all seriousness, though, 'Frankenstein (1910)' is the first adaptation of Shelley's novel and it's an admirable effort. It heavily truncates its source material and makes some major alterations to its story, primarily having its monster appear to be some sort of manifestation of its doctor's hidden evil (ala 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920)'). It features some striking imagery that still resonates today, so imagine how it would have played when it was released over 100 years ago. In fact, it was apparently banned due to its disturbing content, which includes a still-impressive birthing sequence that calls to mind Frank's rebirth in 'Hellraiser (1987)'. It's a solid effort overall, with a decent pace and an appropriate atmosphere. 6/10.
