REVIEW:

A sort of re-imagining of James Whale’s 1930s classic Bride of Frankenstein, Franc Roddam’s The Bride might have confused audiences about what it was trying to be—-Gothic horror? Gothic romance?—-and largely fell through the cracks with a lackluster critical reception. That’s a bit of a shame, because for those who gives it a chance, The Bride is a handsomely-filmed, often atmospheric Gothic fairy tale.
