The Bride

2 movies in this series

In 1985, The Bride tried to give the Bride of Frankenstein her own gothic romance, complete with baroque production design, tragic yearning, and a monster who just wants to be loved. In 2026, The Bride! shocks the body back to life again with a brand-new take on Mary Shelley’s most tragic creation. They’re not direct adaptations of Frankenstein, but they’re stitched from the same corpse. Join Now Playing Podcast as we exhume both films, compare their visions of autonomy, obsession, and what happens when men decide they can build a better woman, and decide which Bride truly is alive.
