Our take
A Frankenstein figure seeks a companion in 1930s Chicago. Rated MA 15+ for sexual content, nudity, language and strong bloody violent content. 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.
