For nearly 100 years the Universal Monsters films have captivated audiences across the globe. Not only did they bring monsters of literature to the big screen, but the films also spawned a new genre, supernatural Horror.. They used some of the latest effects, had big budgets and of course where amongst the first talking films of all time.
The recent 4k restoration of some of the most treasured classics, gives an opportunity for people to experience the films like never before. So we have looked at them and reviewed them from a Hedgehog perspective.
So if you are watching them for the first time or 100th, I hope you enjoy our reviews.
