The Bride of Frankenstein

This early horror film, released in 1935, is a sequel to Frankenstein (1931), with Boris Karloff reprising his role as the misunderstood monster. In contrast to the usual reputation of movie sequels, many viewers regard the film as superior to its predecessor. The story is based on the premise that the monster has survived the angry mob’s attempt to destroy him at the end of the original film. Critics have generally praised the film’s blend of outrageous thrills and macabre humour.
