The Bride is a 1985 period science fiction horror film directed by Franc Roddam, and starring Sting, Jennifer Beals, Geraldine Page, and Clancy Brown. Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, the film follows Baron Charles Frankenstein who creates a woman, Eva, while his original monster—believed to have been killed in a laboratory accident—escapes into the countryside.
The film, an international co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, was released theatrically on August 16, 1985, by Columbia Pictures to generally negative reviews from critics. It was a commercial failure, grossing only $3.6 million.[3]
