No, The Bride! is not a remake. The character of the bride of Frankenstein appeared as a minor figure in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s original novel. James Whale’s 1935 film, Bride of Frankenstein, expanded that section into a full movie. The director of The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal, watched Whale’s film and was inspired to create her own take on the story. She fleshed out the character of the bride, giving her a wholly new backstory and personality.
