Our take
The Bride! is rated R for sexual content, nudity, language, and strong bloody violent content. A Frankenstein figure seeks a companion in 1930s Chicago. Dialogue includes heavy profanity, ghost talk, kisses, cigarettes, and grief beats amid stylized horror. UK 15 territory. Adults only
Uplifting themes
Questions about belonging appear without neat moral answers
Story (may spoil tone)
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.

Talk after watching
- Classic monster stories ask who deserves humanity. How does this version answer?
- Romance and horror share the screen. When does love feel dangerous in movies?
