The Frankenstein mythos continues to meet the moment in ways we couldn’t even possibly imagine. Mary Shelley’s iconic story has been retold on the screen over and over again, and up next is The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s dark and punk-rock take on The Bride of Frankenstein.
Starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, there has been hype surrounding The Bride! ever since its first teaser trailer screened at CinemaCon… and based on early reactions, it sounds like that hype was more than justified. Early critic reactions to the film went live on Thursday, and they’re pretty glowing about Gyllenhaal’s vision and the ensemble cast.
