BACK 2 THE BALCONY EP#6 - THE BRIDE (1985)
Description
This week Justin Henson of THE MOVIE WIRE and I tackle THE BRIDE from 1985.
The Bride is a 1985 period horror film directed by Franc Roddam, and starring Sting, Jennifer Beals, Geraldine Page, and Clancy Brown. Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the film follows Baron Charles Frankenstein who creates a woman, Eva, while his original monster—believed to have been killed in a laboratory accident—escapes into the countryside.
The film, an international co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, was released theatrically on August 16, 1985 by Columbia Pictures to generally negative reviews from critics. It was a commercial failure, grossing only $3.6 million.
We analyze the film - which we desperately wanted to love - but both realize we are only in love with half of it. Now while we enjoyed it more than our respected critics - we agree with many of their complaints...HOWEVER - This did not belong on the WORST OF THE YEAR LIST!!
