In this day and age, unwarranted andunwanted remakesseem far too common.
Blum does have a point.
When compared toFrankenstein,Bride of Frankensteindoes purposely dabble with camp, humor, and even fantasy.
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.
However, thats part of what makes the film so effective.
The new DC Universe seriesCreature Commandoshas also given the character a greater sense of agency.
At the same time, the original has plenty of nuances that would make for a great Blumhouse reinvention.
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.
Indeed, the film is ripe with possibility and Blumhouse is the perfect studio to make it happen.
Bride of Frankensteinis available to buy or rent on Amazon.
