Yegads, this sounds terrible. How hard is it to mess up Frankenstein? But apparently they did it.

It reads like campy comedy. Mayhap they missed their Mark by [——————————————————————————————this much.......................................................................................................................]

Just think of it as one-quarter of a “Ghostbusters” remake.

Not sure if that makes it one-quarter as bad, or four times as bad, but who’s counting?

Wasn’t on my radar screen, but ... Jessie Buckley in a bad movie? Nothing’s impossible, but I think I’ll watch it before I pan it.

I’m a bit rusty on Brides of Frankenstein. Maybe some freepers can help. Which one is the mark to beat?

I saw the previews for The Bride, and instantly, I knew this movie was not for me. Sometimes, I’m in the mood for horror, mystery, maybe even a little violence, but The Bride seemed stuck in being Grim, Sad, Dark and otherworldly.

If I was in the mood for such a film, The Bride would fill the bill, (the settings, lighting and angles that bring you in close) are very arty and very effective. Visually, it’s a stunning tableux of sustained tension, depictions of what is horrible, over powering and bordering on the Demonic.
So, it was well produced, but just too much for me, a casual movie goer.

I dunno. I saw 15 minutes of “One Battle After Another”.

Completely unwatchable.

I'm thinking of ending things.

“Which (Bride of Frankenstein) is the mark to beat?”

Madelaine Kahn, ‘Young Frankenstein.’ ;)

The last time that Maggie Gyllenhaal did anything remotely good or funny was in the 1990s.
