The Bride

Time hase been very kind to this Franc Roddam film. I wasn't all that thrilled with it when it first came out.....other than Jennifer Beals (or a good body double!) running around naked for a while there wasn't much there for me. However, upon recent reviewing I actually found THE BRIDE to be an endearing and touching piece of work. Clancy Brown, as Viktor (the monster) brings a depth to the character not seen in other ventures and the late David Rappaport delivers a mighty fine performance. Sting is take it or leave it and I imagine is really only there for star power or because he had worked with Roddam before on QUADROPHENIA. The reworking of the FRANKENSTEIN theme is an interesting one for sure making THE BRIDE one to check out again.
