The official synopsis reveals a compelling plot: A lonely Frankenstein's monster journeys to 1930s Chicago, seeking out the pioneering scientist Dr. Euphronius to create a companion. Together, they resurrect a murdered young woman, giving birth to the Bride. However, what unfolds far exceeds their wildest imaginations: a tale of murder, obsession, a wild and radical cultural movement, and a dangerous, passionate romance between two fugitives. "The Bride!" is slated for a North American release on March 6.
