One-time screen partners in Christopher Nolan's <i>The Dark Knight</i>, Christian Bale and Maggie Gyllenhaal reunite, this time with the latter behind the camera, directing this tale that draws inspiration from 1935 film <i>Bride of Frankenstein</i>. Jessie Buckley stars in the titular role, also reuniting with Gyllenhaal after leading her directorial debut, <i>The Lost Daughter</i>.
In the 1930s, a lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to Chicago to seek the aid of ahead-of-her-time physician and researcher, Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening), in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman named Ida and the Bride (Buckley) is born. What transpires goes so much further than what either of them could've imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!HorrorPT2H6MTBC2026-03-06
