Hollywood just can’t get enough of retellings of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein (1918). One of the most iconic and influential horror stories ever written – statement, but true.
Last year Guillermo del Toro’s gave us a visually stunning version with Jacob Elordi as the monster, and this month director Maggie Gyllenhaal presented The Bride! – a remake of the sequel Bride of Frankenstein(1935). A perfect moment to shine light on horror history, and watch the original version from 1935, directed by classical horror master James Whale.
About the film
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive after being attacked by an angry mob. The now-chastened scientist attempts to escape his past, but a former mentor forces him to assist with the creation of a new creature.
This screening is in English, with no subtitles.
