Why it’s HorroRated
The Bride! is Maggie Gyllenhaal finding the one angle on the Bride of Frankenstein mythology that hadn't been fully developed: the created woman's own experience of her creation. The film's feminist reclamation of the material gives it a purpose the Universal Monster reboots have rarely had. A thoughtful and distinctive entry in the tradition.
Synopsis
Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! (2026) moves the Frankenstein story to 1930s Chicago, where a lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) asks the scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to make him a companion. They revive a murdered young woman (Jessie Buckley), and the Bride wakes up with ideas of her own. Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal and Penélope Cruz co-star. A thoughtful and distinctive entry in the tradition.
