Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Dr. Frankenstein (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his lonely Creature (Christian Bale) travel to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening) in creating a companion for the Creature. The two doctors reinvigorate a murdered young woman (Jessie Buckley) and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.”
