User Reviews

Interesting but goes nowhere!

As far as characters go, "The Bride" goes into depth with its subplots about both Frankenstein's monster and of course the bride of the monster, both trying to adapt to society in general, while Dr. Frankenstein keeps the bride in the dark about her true origins. Meanwhile, the "monster", later renamed Viktor, meets a midget which starts a subplot reminiscent of "Of Mice and Men" with a freakshow/carnival setting, and to be honest, this keeps going for some time.

Too long, actually. It feels like the movie is merely treading water and next time the story gets moving is not long before it comes to an end.

It would have been better if it had been considerably shorter actually.
