Although it is an elaborate-studied piece of work, over which much time and many dollars have been spent, it makes no tumultuous call upon our enthusiasm. November 20, 2018 | Full Review…

Worth seeing mainly for Chaney's remarkable performance; even bowed and constricted by the heavy weights he used to help simulate Quasimodo's crippled gait, his body remains extraordinarily expressive. June 24, 2006 | Full Review…

The self-torture demanded by Chaney's makeup is impressive, as are the scales of the sets and the crowd scenes, but nothing comes to life under the flat direction of Wallace Worsley. March 28, 2002 | Full Review…

Despite being 95 years old, it remains a classic. It also marks a true beginning of Universal Monster Films that would come to define horror for decades. October 12, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It's for [Chaney's] inimitable genius alone that this sprawling saga is now most fondly remembered. October 17, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a total physical transformation that's often stunning to behold, selling effective make-up effects and behavior extremes with real gusto. May 10, 2014 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

An awe-inspiring achievement, featuring magnificent sets (built on the Universal backlot), the proverbial cast of thousands (the crowd scenes are mesmerizing) and an opportunity to catch Lon Chaney at his most commanding. April 18, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

From any facet or dimension, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a true classic in its own right due to its ambition, scope, scale and payoff. However, the real reason to see this film is the incomparable performance of one Lon Chaney. April 18, 2014 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
