Has there ever been a good Frankenstein movie? It seems like it gets ignored compared to something like Dracula.

All the Hammer films of Frankenstein and Dracula are good.
I rewatched all the main Universal monster films recently and was pretty dissatisfied. They are frankly just too silly and primitive. The Mummy is probably the best one. Even Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon aren't very good anymore (though I do like Creature 3). These films used to be my favorites. When I was a kid I watched one every day. The foggy moors atmosphere, the creepy sets and b/w cinematography, the monster makeup. I loved everything about them.
I've come to the conclusion that they no longer hold up today because they are too simple. They don't really try to create suspense or mystery. They just show you the monsters because that was enough to scare audiences of the day (or today's children). There are some frightening moments for sure, and you can't just overlook these films because they are important, but they are no longer effective.
Val Lewton and RKO effectively killed Universal Horror in the 40s anyway. They made several super low budget horrors (150k) in order to try and make up for nearly going bankrupt after Citizen Kane and they became huge hits. Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, Leopard Man, etc. The reason they work so well is because they had no money. They couldn't do creature effects, so all the horror is psychological, it's the first real use of the monster stalking someone from offscreen and things like that. Really pretty incredible films and they still hold up well today.
As for why Frankenstein gets ignored. By me, anyway. I just don't like the story. I read the book several times and it's just written very poorly. Like two edgelords arguing over who has the worse life. I mean, the story and not the writing is pretty good. Prometheus and all that. Good stuff. But very few adaptations have fixed the shit that the book spews without making something that sacrifices the actual good artistic ideas behind it.
I've been thinking it would be neat to try and edit the original Frankenstein and Bride together into one film that more closely follows the book, or at least creates a coherent and hopefully decent story out of two mediocre films. Would you guys watch that?
