“A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the help of Dr. Euphronius to create a companion. The two revitalize a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She goes further than either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police, and a wild, radical social movement.”

The original film by director James Whale was released in 1935. In recent times there have been several plans to launch a remake of Bride of Frankenstein.
