The Bride! - MOVIE REVIEW

Maggie Gyllenhaal's latest film - The Bride! - has now hit theaters. This is the latest film from Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy's Warner Bros. slate where they let a bunch of filmmakers off the leash to make some wild, original movies... and this one is no exception. Delays and rumors of bad test screenings aside, I have been hyped to see a new take on the Bride side of the original Frankenstein story from Mary Shelley and I'm glad to say that I had a really good time with it, despite the film being overstuffed and packed with just a few too many ideas for it's own good.
