90th anniversary!
Released in 1935, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is widely regarded as a rare example of a sequel that surpasses the original. Combining gothic horror with biting wit, surreal visuals, and unexpected pathos, director James Whale elevated the genre to new artistic heights. Boris Karloff returns in a haunting and deeply human performance as the Monster, while Elsa Lanchester’s unforgettable turn as the Bride remains a cultural touchstone nearly a century later. With its bold themes of creation, loneliness, and the limits of human ambition, BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN continues to resonate, making it as relevant and provocative now as it was 90 years ago.
