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
