Synopsis
The Bride (1985) is a gothic horror-fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, built around a Frankenstein premise that takes a sharp left turn. Doctor Frankenstein — played by Sting — constructs Eva as a mate for his first creature, Victor. Eva refuses Victor on sight. From that moment, the doctor's obsession shifts entirely onto her.
Director Franc Roddam runs two parallel stories. Eva, under the increasingly controlling eye of Frankenstein, slowly figures out who she is and what she wants. Victor, cast out with a dwarf companion named Riptide (David Rappaport), wanders through Europe learning how to be human — and Clancy Brown plays that journey with unexpected warmth. Jennifer Beals brings quiet resistance to Eva; Cary Elwes turns up in support. It's a film more interested in its monster's loneliness than in the usual horror mechanics.
