Bride of Frankenstein (1935) PDM


La novia de Frankenstein (1935) es una película de terror y ciencia ficción dirigida por James Whale. Es la secuela de Frankenstein (1931) y está protagonizada, de nuevo, por Boris Karloff y Colin Clive.

El monstruo (Boris Karloff) y el doctor Frankenstein (Colin Clive) han sobrevivido al incendio. El primero se refugia en el bosque y el segundo descansa en casa, donde recibe la visita del doctor Pretorius (Ernst Thesiger), el cual le propone repetir el experimento: esta vez con la intención de crearle una novia (Elsa Lanchester) al monstruo.

On a stormy night, Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Walton) and Lord Byron (Gavin Gordon) praise Mary Shelley (Elsa Lanchester) for her story of Frankenstein and his Monster. Reminding them that her intention was to impart a moral lesson, Mary says she has more of the story to tell. The scene shifts to the end of the 1931 Frankenstein.
Villagers gathered around the burning windmill cheer the apparent death of the Monster (Boris Karloff, credited as “Karloff”). Their joy is tempered by the realization that Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is also apparently dead. Hans (Reginald Barlow), father of the girl the creature drowned in the previous film, wants to see the Monster’s bones. He falls into a flooded pit underneath the mill, where the Monster — having survived the fire — strangles him. Hauling himself from the pit, the Monster casts Hans’ wife (Mary Gordon) into it to her death. He next encounters Minnie (Una O’Connor), who flees in terror.

Bride of Frankenstein (advertised as The Bride of Frankenstein) is a 1935 American horror film, the first sequel to Frankenstein (1931). Bride of Frankenstein was directed by James Whale and stars Boris Karloff as The Monster, Elsa Lanchester in the dual role of his mate and Mary Shelley, Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein and Ernest Thesiger as Doctor Septimus Pretorius.
