"Love dead. Hate living."
Following up the iconic 1931 film, The Bride of Frankenstein takes the concept of a sequel and makes the very best out of it. Right from the opening scene, it strongly hints at its self-awareness and its brilliance as it sucks you right back in, as you'd naturally want to know more about what's happened to the Monster.
For those who may be seeing this for the first time, especially after viewing the 1931 classic,…

Every set piece literally makes my jaw drop on every…

Hilarious. Mysterious. Bold. Beautiful. Intense. It's all of that, sometimes at once, yet it never exceeds its grasp. Bong Joon-ho extracts as much as…

"Rick fucking Dalton."
Well, this is it. If Quentin Tarantino wanted to ride out into the sunset, he could do it now. Simultaneously going back to what catapulted him into fame with Pulp Fiction all the while this film is a throwback to classic Hollywood just as the Golden Era ended, it's both a love letter and a lamentation. Tarantino might as well have been building his entire career towards this, as he gets to delve deeply into what…
