Eventually after obtaining parts from the local morgue they have a male the body prepared, (Should of gone to the body shop). all they need now is a brain.

...But is it the life Frankenstein wanted? Has he created the ultimate Man or Monster? A very dated movie now, but one I think the older generation would still enjoy, even if just for remembering past movies, My teenagers found it quite boring and certainly not frightening in the least, in fact if it wasn't so boring said one, it would be comical. I quite preferred some of the later versions, with the flute playing Egore with his crooked broken neck. ... Read review

My most revered film of all times is...drum ...
...An ancient horror film from the depths of Hollywood history. And a sequel at that. All of this is true - The Bride IS a sequel and it IS ancient (1935 to be precise). For whatever reason (and hopefully I'll detail one or two of them) though it's held me spellbound ever since and hopefully you'll forgive me this labour of love as I review it.
