Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' an Ambitious, Creepy Mess
6 Mar
Summary
- Maggie Gyllenhaal's feminist horror opera 'The Bride!' opens Friday.
- Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley star as a killer couple.
- The film's release date was strategically moved to avoid competition.
Maggie Gyllenhaal's "The Bride!," an ambitious feminist horror opera, is set to open Friday from Warner Bros. The film, from the Oscar-nominated writer/director of "The Lost Daughter," has seen its release date shifted to spring. This move strategically places it away from potential studio competition and other major releases.
Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley star as a dangerous couple. Bale plays Frankenstein's monster who, with a reanimated Jessie Buckley, goes on a killing spree from Chicago to New York City. Annette Bening also appears in the film, contributing to its complex narrative.
Though "The Bride!" is expected to be divisive, it is anticipated to gain a cult following. The film's cinematographer and composer also worked on the recently released "Joker: Folie à Deux."
