The Bride!
Why we love it ❤️

Okay, so if you're into dark academia vibes mixed with a serious dose of feminine rage and forbidden love, this is your next obsession. It's a period drama glow-up for a classic tale, and Jessie Buckley as The Bride is absolutely serving. Plus, Christian Bale as 'Frank' is giving us a lot to, ahem, *examine*. Get ready for a reanimation story that goes completely off the rails in the best way.

What is The Bride! about?

In 1930s Chicago, a lonely Frankenstein travels to seek out the brilliant scientist Dr. Cornelia Euphronius with an extraordinary request: to create a companion for him. Together, they succeed in reviving a murdered young woman, bringing The Bride to life. However, the consequences that unfold after her creation are far more complex and unexpected than either of her creators could have ever imagined.
