Today on New Movie Monday Griffey and Heath witness the rebirth of The Bride! They discuss the livewire performances from Bale and Buckley, if the film's stylistic decisions help or hamper the narrative, and how this films adds to the long legacy of Mary Shelly and the Frankenstein stories. Brining people back from the dead is messy business but did this film find more than a primal scream?

Synopsis: In 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change.

Starring: Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal

Written and Directed by Maggie Gyllenhall
