The Bride!
A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride is born. But what ensues is beyond what either of them imagined.
Critics Sentiment
Frank and Penelope dance at party with possessed guests
Clyde fatally shoots Frank as he proposes to Bride
The film peaks during the party dance sequence before steadily declining through a rushed and incoherent final act.
The Bride! starts with ambitious weirdness that divides critics, peaks with a memorable dance sequence that showcases the film's visual flair, then gradually loses momentum as its overcrowded narrative and tonal confusion overwhelm the strong performances. Critics consistently praised the technical craft and lead performances while criticizing the unfocused script and pretentious execution.
