Bride of Frankenstein
If you’re going to remake classics, you might as well go for broke. While Frankenstein has been remade many times, no one has ever really attempted to do Bride of Frankenstein. The original film’s even weirder, creepier sequel, it not only brings back the iconic monster and gives him a girl, but it also pits Dr. Frankenstein against Dr. Praetorius, a mad scientist as twisted as a Tesla coil who likes making tiny people to put into jars.
Pretty much everyone already knows the basic plot of Frankenstein (a la Hollywood), so it’s not that difficult to just go on and do Bride of Frankenstein. Kenneth Branagh sort of attempted this remake when he did his Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and included a weird, sewn-together Helena Bonham-Carter as part of the plot. But I really just want to see Dr. Praetorius on screen again.
