CGiii Comment
The bride makes her entrance 5 minutes from the end - so, you have to sit through a re-hashed version of the original film - and...apologies Mr Whale (and film historians everywhere)...it's solid crap.
The SFX are pretty good though. We liked the little people!

The(ir) Blurb...
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr. Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.
