In this update of
James Whale's classic
The Bride of Frankenstein,
pop star
Sting furthers his burgeoning film career by portraying cinema's signature mad scientist. Disgusted by his dim-witted and ugly original creation (
Clancy Brown),
Dr. Frankenstein sets out to animate an improved version. Though lovely on the outside,
Eva (
Jennifer Beals) begins her new life as little more than an animal. With the help of his trusty housekeeper (
Geraldine Page), however,
Frankenstein soon grooms the beautiful zombie into a reasonable facsimile of an upper-class debutante. He's unprepared, however, when his ward displays a mind -- and sexual urges -- of her own. Meanwhile, the good doctor's discarded original creation assumes the name of
Viktor and takes to the road. Befriended by an enterprising dwarf named
Rinaldo (
David Rappaport),
Viktor becomes a circus performer but continues to pine after his bride. Connected to her psychically, he soon makes his way back to the scene of their mutual creation. There, he finds the girl embroiled in a love triangle between a callow suitor (
Cary Elwes) and
Frankenstein himself. In addition to its iconic '80s leads,
The Bride boasts a famous supporting cast that includes gay memoirist
Quentin Crisp and '60s model
Veruschka.
