Bride of Frankenstein, released on April 20, 1935, celebrates its 90th anniversary as a groundbreaking horror sequel. Following Henry Frankenstein's initial experiment, this movie was one of the earliest relevant sequels in cinema history. Despite not being the very first sequel, it is recognized for advancing the horror genre and introducing complex character emotions, especially through its portrayal of the Monster. The film retcons the previous installment's ending, allowing both Frankenstein and his Creature to continue their poignant narrative, exploring themes of love and acceptance in a chilling yet beautiful manner.
Bride of Frankenstein not only enhances the classic tale from the original, but it humanizes the Monster, providing a deeper exploration of his character and emotions.
The film’s narrative takes a bold turn with its retcon, which allows both Dr. Frankenstein and his creation to emerge alive, adding layers to their ongoing struggle.
