Frankenstein's Bride (2026)

[bunniefuu]

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

Hmm...

Finally.

I am so happy for you two.

Let's begin.

What is love?

Our poets have

struggled for centuries.

As have our writers,

our artists,

our theologians.

But our scientists wondered

if it was just an

equation to be solved.

And it turns out that true love

begins and ends

with the heart.

It is this connection

that binds.

Here stands a man before me

who was robbed

of love in his first life.

Who else to fill this

role than the woman

who took her own

when her true love,

this man, was robbed from her.

Now finally reunited

for marriage today.

So these two once

lifeless vessels

now standing

before me full of life,

once again.

In hopes to go forth

as the beloved

ushers of a brand new...

[door opens]

A more blasphemous act

I've never laid my eyes upon.

John Clerval.

You and your brood have

travelled quite some distance

for an event

you were not invited.

So you recognize me?

You have the unmistakable

impression of your cousin.

The late Dr. Henry Clerval.

A profound loss to us all.

And yet we expected you

at his funeral.

He did not care about him.

He doesn't care about anyone.

State your business...

Or stay for the matrimony.

-To stay?

-To this abomination.

[laughing]

Let's continue.

Your days of playing God

are over, Dr. Frankenstein.

Wait.

I assure you that I

am not playing God.

That was your cousin.

My partner that

wanted that distinction.

If this is about money...

We know all about your infamous

Dr. Frankenstein's castle.

You can have

Dr. Clerval's share.

My days of reanimating

anyone are over.

You fool, Frankenstein.

[screaming]

No!

Stay back!

Do not let their violence

keep you from your love.

You fool, Victor!

This is about what

is rightfully ours!

[screams]

No!

What have you done?

[laughing]

Can we use them?

No, it's too risky.

So k*ll them.

But they're dead, right?

What about Dr. Frankenstein?

We need him.

-My love!

-Chop the others up.

We'll use them for mincemeat.

Oh, meat pies for dinner!

Give me that.

Move.

[grunts]

Ooh!

[laughing]

[screaming]

John! The fire!

We must go!

Harris, grab the rest of him.

Louise, Mary,

help me with Frankenstein.

Come on, hurry!

[Bride screams]

We shall take this monster

to cousin Henry's manor.

You clean that blade

more than you use it.

Be thankful, sister.

If not for this blade

you wouldn't be cooking

your hardy rabbit stew.

Hardy? You k*lled the

carrot st*lks mostly.

Stop bickering.

Felix does a fine

job at providing food.

And you, my dear Agatha,

an equally fine job

of making it edible.

You know, you both do not

need to stay

and watch over me any longer.

Please, Papa.

We will stay

until they find Mama.

Unless the monster got her.

Stop it.

Even in the dark I can

see you bickering.

[both]

Sorry, Papa.

There is no monster.

Papa, he stood a foot

above the tallest of men

with a face that--

What do I care about his face?

About how tall he was?

He was frightening.

Not to me.

You can't see.

Felix, the monster you are

searching for

will never look like the ghouls

you used to read about

in your picture books.

They are more

insidious than that.

Their minds are corrupt.

All they know

is lies and deceit.

You will not recognize them

because they

look like you and me.

But this creature

that came up to you...

Was seeking friendship.

Is that so bad?

Felix tries his best

at keeping friends away.

Not true.

I'm a wonderful friend.

[sniffing]

What is it, Father?

Smoke.

Looks like it's coming from

the old church at the hill.

A bad omen.

I'll grab a bucket.

I'll fetch some water.

Whoa, children.

Go to the town's elders.

-Enlist help from them.

-There's no time!

People could be in danger.

Mama could be in that fire.

Tread carefully.

We'll be back soon.

Bad omen.

Bad omen.

[screaming]

[coughs]

[gasps, moans]

[crying]

[screams]

Someone's alive.

Felix.

No.

Are you okay?

It's okay. It's okay.

We're here to help.

Agatha, I don't know about this.

She looks dangerous.

Put that blade down.

Do it.

You look hurt.

Beloved.

Oh...

My beloved.

That's the monster!

Felix, shh.

Quiet. Shh.

Agatha, no!

Look at her!

She must be a monster, too.

No, no. Wait.

Is that?

Beloved.

I'll call the elders.

I'm Agatha.

And that imbecile's

my brother Felix.

A... gatha.

Imbecile.

Can we leave?

We have to take

her back to our home.

No, we don't. Why?

We've got medicine.

I can patch her up there.

We have medicine

at the infirmary.

Infirmary? Do you want

what happened to Mother

to happen to her?

We don't know what

happened to Mother.

Well, I'm not risking that fate.

Come with us.

We can help you.

Well, at least, put

that thing in here.

Come on.

Okay, let's go.

This way.

Be careful.

Stop staring, Felix.

I would stop staring,

but she's cradling a monster's

head right in front of me.

Stop.

This poor creature

has been through enough.

You need to show

a bit of decency

whilst you're in my household.

My dear, I remember

your betrothed.

He came here to my cottage.

He was very kind.

Others, I'm afraid, are very

nervous around my affliction.

But he treated me with

respect and decency.

I was not a helpless child, and

he was not a ghoulish monster.

So we owe it to him to show

this woman the same courtesy.

Did you love him?

Mm-hmm.

How could she know love?

-Get out!

-Felix!

This isn't right.

This isn't normal.

And I suspect she has something

to do with

Mother's disappearance.

Out!

Papa, please don't

be hard on Felix.

Do you want to leave, too?

Now, why were you at the church?

Her gown.

I think she was getting married.

Love finds a way.

Your gown is ruined.

It must have been so pretty.

Sorry. Sorry.

I didn't mean to.

I made her jump.

Are you okay?

Agatha, fetch

some water, please.

[heavy breathing]

Clervals.

What?

What is a Clerval?

I don't think it's a what.

I think the Clervals are a who.

Do we know any Clervals?

Your man, Mr. Clancy, is late.

He's lazy, that pig.

Iris, you're a dope fiend.

What are these marks?

I'm not a dope fiend.

Oh, those are needle marks.

A degenerate,

just like the others.

Laudanum in his veins,

madness in his head.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What?

Pay him no mind.

He's just looking for tonic.

No, I'm not. I'm not.

I'm just making sure he

doesn't stab himself again.

Mad scientist.

A megalomaniac.

A needleman.

He looks more like

a dead man to me.

So tell me.

Who was in charge when

you k*lled our cousin?

Tell me, where's the groomsman

and the bride?

You're lucid now?

Oh, I hope not.

Oh, so this is a joke to him.

What happened?

They're dead.

I sliced that monster up myself.

And the bride was

burned to ashes.

There's nothing left

of your experiments.

It's as though

you never mattered.

Well, then k*ll me now.

Life, death,

it's the same side of the coin.

Not to me.

Not to Henry.

You k*lled him so that you could

keep the electrical equation

that makes the machine

work to yourself

and be the only one

to wield its power.

No. That same power

sent your cousin mad

and he k*lled himself

believing he'd become immortal

after being resurrected

on the Blood Moon.

[groans]

You need my help.

The Blood Moon is upon us.

John knows all

about the Blood Moon.

The journals that we did

find explain its connection

to gaining immortality

from the machine,

but not how to start it.

Henry was troubled.

He wasn't right in the head.

Although I can see the apple

doesn't fall far from the tree.

Silence!

You speak when

I tell you to speak.

Now, these journals

that we find,

they're a waste of time, full

of theories and conjectures.

This is concerned with

reanimating a cat and a mouse.

Well, that was your cousin.

As I mentioned, he was not...

[groans]

[giggling]

None of these journals

tell me what I need to know.

And what is that?

Henry said you wrote down

the equation in a red journal.

But where? With it,

we can power the machine

and bring him back

to life and become commanders

in his immortal army.

I get the biology,

the physiology.

I believe I understand

the process,

but the engineering?

Only you and Henry

knew how it worked.

If you don't tell us where

the blasted red journal is,

we will t*rture you into telling

us the equation yourself.

My machines were not

made for human replication.

Immortality can

only be achieved

if you combine the effects

of the machine

with the special serum

I developed.

It will block the effects of

the Blood Moon mind control.

Otherwise, you'll

become a sl*ve to it.

The serum you seek, it enhances

life, but it is not stable.

You've seen the

result with my bride.

If it works on one,

then it works on others.

We'll build an army

of super soldiers led by Henry

and rule this

land for all eternity.

You think I will help you?

No. No.

But Henry wrote it down.

He told us all about

it before he died.

So where did you hide

that red journal

with the

electrical equation?

If we find those journals

before you tell us, you die.

If I show you how to work

my machines, I still die.

No.

Much, much worse than that.

I will keep reanimating you

and k*lling

you throughout eternity.

I know what Henry had planned.

You do not want it.

You cannot fix it!

John.

John. John!

May I speak with you?

What is it?

Tonic.

Found it in his coat pocket.

So?

Well, I was told from people

who have been on tonic

that it makes you

say things

that you wouldn't

ordinarily say.

Oh, I can use that

on so many people.

[panting]

We've got to do things

a little bit differently now,

Dr. Frankenstein.

I will never tell.

So long as I hold

off your plans.

[groans]

Death...

You will tell us where those

journals are, Dr. Frankenstein.

Henry would not want this.

Do not claim to

know Henry better

than his own kin, Frankenstein.

You were the one

who betrayed him.

You were the one who was

supposed to bring him back.

But instead, you sent

him home in a box,

discarded like some kind of

broken children's play toy!

Do it.

[moans]

[rooster crows]

k*ll... Clervals.

Can I come in now?

Will you show some manners?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

Good. Now that that's

over with,

do you know anyone with

the surname Clerval?

No. But we must suspect

that Dr. Frankenstein

is behind this.

Surely this is his handiwork.

-The reanimation, perhaps.

-But not the violence.

How can you be so sure?

I mean, the monster...

Do you want to go outside again?

Well, look, there is

a man in town here.

He knows all

and he sees all.

No.

He is really

the only one to ask.

He is one of the monsters

I warned you about.

Oh, he's harmless.

If you pay him enough.

Yes, so we'll pay him.

With what?

My carrot stew?

Sword!

k*ll Clervals!

We'll go to the constable.

Surely they would apprehend

the Clervals for arson at least.

The Constable? No.

He will see what Felix sees

and condemn our bride on sight.

And maybe those around

her that are assisting her.

No.

He is a decent man,

but not very smart.

Fine. Then she stays

here to heal herself.

She's dead.

There's nothing to heal.

Find Clervals now!

-She is not our problem.

-[door closes]

No!

I do not know what

you see, but I can feel

that you are both

scared as you were

when her betrothed came to this

house not a short time ago.

This is your atonement.

This is how you are

to set things right.

Mother would be

ashamed of you right now.

You know that?

She taught us all

our lives to be better.

BRIDE:

Clervals must die!

She cannot stay

and she cannot leave.

What do you want us to do?

BRIDE:

Clervals must die!

You are right about Mr. Clancy.

He knows all.

He is probably the one to seek.

If the Clervals are

k*lling people

and burning down churches,

then maybe they have something

to do with the people in town

going missing,

including Mother.

Offer up your sword for trade.

It should be plenty to get

the information you need.

But I...

Sheathe another

blade in your belt.

BRIDE:

Clervals must die!

I think she is going with you.

-Let's go.

-Clervals must die!

I loved Henry like a brother.

I knew what was best for him.

[groans]

His plan, it cannot...

cannot work.

Wake up.

Wake up!

Just because you didn't

share the same vision as Henry

doesn't mean

that it would not work.

You of all people

should understand

that nothing

is truly impossible.

No!

No, it cannot be done,

because to bring such evil

back into the world...

unthinkable.

It is not science.

It is w*r.

Do not wish w*r upon the people

that nearly k*lled you!

Nearly k*lled your creations!

They wish an end

to your science!

To your art!

Stop engaging him!

Just ask him your

questions before

you lose him

completely, you fool!

Do not call me a fool!

Frankenstein!

Tell us where

the red journal is.

I'll never... I'll never say.

-This is useless!

-You wasted time!

It was the tonic!

It was a terrible idea!

Harris, look what you've done!

No matter.

We need the powders.

The powders.

Where's Mr. Clancy?

Where is that swine?

Harris.

You go to that horrible

bloody market,

and you find what is going

on with that Mr. Clancy!

We will gather

our supplies,

and if this Dr. Frankenstein

won't divulge his secrets,

then we will

simply plumb them

from his laboratory

at Frankenstein Castle.

Now go!

Your friend.

She looks a little

under the weather.

She had some bad cheese

she bought from your store.

How unfortunate.

How can I help you?

What do you think, Mr. Clancy?

Information.

Well, that I have plenty of.

But it will not be cheap.

You know what it means.

You know I'm capable.

I can trade you my

skills for what we seek.

Skills?

Young De Lacey,

you have no skills.

Clervals!

It talks.

Do you know them or not?

Clervals, Cler...

Oh, you must be thinking of...

Dr. Henry Clerval.

The late scientist,

the noted scientist.

He was Victor Frankenstein's

departed partner.

See, I told you

Dr. Frankenstein was involved.

Oh, very involved.

What you see right here

is his greatest experiment.

Talking corpse.

Frankenstein... dead.

Dead?

Oh, condolences.

Not even I knew that.

By who? You?

Her.

The Clervals.

Oh.

You must be speaking of

Dr. Henry's gruesome cousins.

Four of them. They came to town

about four months or so ago,

but kept it quiet.

Mr. Clancy!

You never came with the powder--

Clerval!

-Is that him?

-Get away from me, you freak!

Is that a Clerval?

Oh, I should have cleaved

your head from its torso!

Was the the one

at the church?

Did he harm you?

[screams]

He can lead us

to the other Clervals!

I will save you,

but you must promise

to lead me to

the other Clervals.

Fine.

But you must help me

stop this demon.

Don't k*ll him! Wait!

k*ll Clervals!

Look out!

Foul creature!

-Let him go!

-He must die!

No, no, no. He can lead us

to the other Clervals.

Do you understand?

Let's make haste

before he gets too far.

You stay back and

find out why that man

was coming

here in the first place.

But...

Damned woman!

Destroyed my bloody store!

Stronger men have

tried to k*ll me, son.

I'm not your son.

Did you ever find out what

happened to your mother?

How do you know about my mother?

What did that man want of you?

Why was he here?

Well, same thing

everybody wants, really.

Power.

Clervals, well,

they want powder and medicines.

Enough to feed an army.

You were supplying

that for them.

For what purpose?

It's a gruesome family business.

Reanimation?

I would imagine so, but

I don't ask many questions.

Perhaps... Perhaps that's par

of me charm.

Are they reanimating the

dead like their cousin did?

Like Dr. Frankenstein?

Well, I'm no genius, but...

you seem to have befriended

one of their experiments.

Oh!

Go back to hell, demon!

Harris and Mr. Clancy

should really be back by now.

That Clancy b*stard!

He's clearly betrayed us!

I'll slit his throat

myself

if he doesn't come back

with our supplies.

We have a schedule

that has to be kept,

before the

Blood Moon rises.

And you sent a

boy after this man.

Wait, are you

sending Louise now?

I want to go, John.

-Quiet!

-I want to go!

Mary, you will help me load

Dr. Frankenstein

into the carriage.

Then we will take

him to his laboratory.

Louise, you will go and get

the powders from Mr. Clancy.

Then meet us at the castle.

Why there?

Because I wouldn't put it

past Dr. Frankenstein

to hide the red journal there,

close to the machine.

But if there are no journals,

at least we'll

have his laboratory.

And we'll figure

it out from there.

Now go.

Hup...

Yes, now, if you come upon

Harris on your travels,

remind him that only the

strong will become a commander.

Like me.

[scoffs]

Go!

Before the bride k*lled

that Clerval boy,

he dropped this list.

Are these supplies to

bring back the dead?

Is that what they're planning?

Can I see it?

When they burnt down the church,

they brought

Dr. Frankenstein here to me.

Father!

Yeah, in your eyes, yeah.

Was he alive?

Well, he wasn't in a great way,

but yeah, yeah, he was alive.

-Alive?

-Alive.

What do they want

with the doctor?

Immortality!

No!

You!

We burned you in the church!

We cannot k*ll her.

She is a Clerval.

They are trying to

reanimate the dead.

We must know if they

know anything about Mother.

You k*lled our brother,

didn't you?

He attacked her,

like you're doing now.

Perhaps, if you just

take a breath...

You're a monster!

I won't...

[screaming]

Stop! You've got to stop!

She can tell you where

Dr. Frankenstein is!

Stop, please!

I can't move!

My arms, they're frozen!

She will help us now.

[whimpering]

[screaming]

Come on.

Please tell her to stop!

This is too brutal for me.

I've got to go back inside.

She's a monster.

Oh, I can't feel my legs.

Oh, dear sir.

Please listen.

We... we never never meant to

k*ll her or her monster lover.

We only wanted Dr. Frankenstein.

[screaming]

What did you want

with Dr. Frankenstein?

He k*lled our cousin,

Dr. Henry Clerval,

and stole his life's work.

We only wanted what

was rightfully ours.

So you are after his research.

To continue

reanimating the dead.

No.

We loved our cousin dearly.

We wanted Dr. Frankenstein

to bring him back from the dead.

Surely you can understand that.

[groaning]

[screaming]

Come on, we have to go.

What?

I fear this is too much for us,

younger brother.

This might just be their fight.

Not with mother still out there.

This is our fight still, too.

Come on.

Is Louise still not back?

I told you I should have gone.

What is that?

These are supplies

for the resurrection.

Is he all bound up?

Of course.

I didn't want to make

it too comfortable.

I should go and look for her.

And you know if I come into

any trouble, I can handle it.

[panting]

Ah, Mr. Clancy.

It's about time that

you showed up.

I have another job for you.

I have some bad news,

Mr. Clerval.

Agatha?

Madam Clerval is dead.

Did you find them?

Or did they find you?

Two of the Clervals came

to the slaughter market

under Mr. Clancy's keep.

[door opens]

You were right.

We cannot continue

down this path.

I mean, she is a vile monster.

Take a pause, okay?

She knows not what she's doing.

She was torturing her!

Of course she knows!

She is driven by revenge.

And that is very powerful.

It's Dr. Frankenstein,

not the Clervals.

Why? What did she say?

They were here for

their cousin's funeral

and they were

staying at his manor.

That's when they

found his journal.

It turns out Dr. Clerval was

suspicious of Dr. Frankenstein.

He thought he was going

mad of jealousy of some sort.

Dr. Henry Clerval's manor?

The point is, they were after

Dr. Frankenstein

and not these two.

Remember, child,

the devil only knows lies.

You think she was lying

with her dying breath?

You are young and you are naive.

Of course she was lying.

[gasping]

You were right

about the constable.

We should start there.

No, Papa was right.

They're tainted.

They won't believe us or her.

She is the problem.

She, not the Clervals.

Frankenstein is alive.

The constable will believe us.

We will make him.

If Dr. Frankenstein is alive,

can he put your betrothed

back together?

This is madness.

She doesn't know what

she's talking about.

Dr. Frankenstein

is a part of all this.

And the Clervals, they

were trying to stop him.

Madame Clerval said as much.

No. Doctor is good.

Doctor will help.

What is she doing?

She's cradling her

dead lover's head.

I'm going to be sick.

Doctor will help.

She believes that if we

can find Dr. Frankenstein,

he can put her

betrothed back together.

Like some fairytale

Humpty Dumpty.

This is much too macabre.

Why not?

I think he can

mend a broken heart.

Betrothed.

Frankenstein!

She broke Louisa's back

and severed her spine!

-This is because of you, John.

-Mary!

This is his fault.

This is his fault that our

brother and sister are dead.

Oh, we should slice him up

like we did the others.

What?

I kept my end of the bargain.

I delivered the powders

and the supplies.

Mr. Clerval, please.

How is it my fault?

If you had been here on time,

they wouldn't have had

to fetch you.

I was kidnapped like they were.

I was no match for that demon.

And yet she let you live.

Well, I didn't k*ll her

monstrous lover now, did I?

Enough, Mary.

It's fine.

It's fine?

Fine?

John, she tortured them!

More bodies for

the immortal army.

Think about it.

It'll just be us as commanders.

But Louise and Harris,

they will live again once we

find the missing red journal.

At Frankenstein's

laboratory, we'll make it so.

I think, I think I should,

I should warn you

that while

that creature is still active,

we are all in danger.

We?

She is driven by a

primal sense of revenge.

Huh!

Are you suggesting that that

thing is capable of emotion?

Of love?

She's a monster.

She's not capable of

anything other than death.

Be that as it may,

she has her sights

set on the two of you.

Well...

Then she'll need a distraction.

[chuckling]

k*ll Clervals.

Don't go too far ahead.

k*ll Clervals!

How are we going to extract

Dr. Frankenstein

from the Clervals?

Yeah, I was thinking

the same thing.

Mr. Clancy said that there

were only four cousins.

Which leaves only two remaining.

Those odds are better.

I suppose we should

just let her off her leash.

Stop.

She's not a feral animal.

She's not human either.

Well, she's capable of love.

Which makes her

more human than some.

And she's not ours to control.

Let's just give her

to Dr. Frankenstein

and hopefully without carnage.

Clervals!

There goes our

element of surprise.

Clervals!

Now what?

Let us search the grounds.

Oh, you again.

I should say the same.

Shall we go another round?

Or shall we cut to the chase

and you just tell us

where the Clervals are?

Oh, that's easy, isn't it?

It's a great pleasure.

I tell you,

they have left to go home.

They've left?

Yes, we're finally rid of those

evil, nasty, unethical people.

Yeah, you should know.

They have left to go

home for the docks.

They know

they're no match for her.

And Dr. Frankenstein?

Oh, Dr. Frankenstein.

Well, he's gone with them.

Yeah, he's over at the docks.

We're finally rid of this

whole Frankenstein chapter.

[screams]

Tell her!

Get her off! Get her off me!

Tell her the Clervals

are gone, please!

Tell her! Tell her!

-Frankenstein!

-Yes, Frankenstein, your father.

He's at the docks.

They're going home.

They're there now.

Go! Hurry! Hurry!

How do we know

you're telling the truth?

Look, if I'm not telling

the truth, that thing

is going to come back

and k*ll me now, isn't she?

Dr. Frankenstein

is at the docks.

-Yes, hurry!

-Docks!

Ships.

If we hurry, we might

be able to catch him.

Hurry! Come on, before

it gets too dark.

We don't know what

we're walking into.

You know, I always

meant to ask you.

When the mob came to

attack the monster,

you know, her lover,

why didn't you participate?

I always thought you hesitated.

That's funny.

I never knew why

you participated.

Well, I thought

he was dangerous.

He was the victim of a madman

who turned him back to life.

And her?

I don't know if we

should envy her passion

or we should be fearful

of this new world.

Either way, she's a victim, too.

And she deserves our compassion.

Father!

Father...

Run! It's an ambush!

It's an ambush!

[grunts]

Mary! Get back, quick!

[Bride screams]

[screaming]

[screams]

Agatha!

I'm coming!

Where is Dr. Frankenstein?

Felix?

Dead.

Find Frankenstein.

Hurt?

Yes...

Hurt?

Hurt.

You go.

Find your papa.

Take you home.

Thank you.

Mary.

Mary, how are you doing?

John, am I dead?

No. Not yet.

Where's... where's the doctor?

No. No!

You let them get away!

I didn't let him do anything.

The g*dd*mn doctor's escaped.

Look at you, you're

a bloody mess.

Clean yourself up.

I was mauled by that creature!

[John grunts]

John, what are you doing?

What does it look

like I'm doing?

Adding another soldier

to the army of the undead.

Come on.

Let's go.

We don't have Dr. Frankenstein.

I'm the doctor now.

We need to search

for the missing journal

at Frankenstein's laboratory.

Come on.

They'll be waiting for us.

Scared? You?

No.

No, I'm not scared of anything.

This is our last chance

to resurrect Henry.

And then the doctor, John.

After we resurrect Henry

and the immortal army, he dies.

And her.

Once Henry's back,

it'll make no difference.

Come on, let's go.

[grunting]

Papa.

Agatha?

[crying]

What happened?

It's Felix.

They stabbed him.

They k*lled him.

Shh, shh, shh.

They were throwing

daggers at both of us,

and then

they got behind him.

[sobbing]

[grunting]

What a magnificent laboratory.

Yes. Clancy has been busy.

Once we bring in our dear

cousin Henry's modifications,

we'll have

everything we need here.

Now, we'd start by

finding that journal.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

[grunts]

Weakness.

I'm in pain, John.

[grunting]

Come on.

Put him against the wall.

Here he is.

Your cousin.

The illustrious

Dr. Henry Clerval.

Magnificent.

I got something

that can fix that.

Leave it.

I'm starting to like it.

Okay.

Well, you're both back.

So, assuming we're rid of the

bride and the wedding party?

That will be all, Mr. Clancy.

But what about the doctor?

Dr. Frankenstein?

Don't you have

another errand to get to?

Um... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got more bodies to collect.

I put most of them

in the deep freeze.

But, alas, I do

have one more trip.

So, leave.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I want to k*ll him so bad.

You'll get your chance.

You mean when I become immortal?

When we become immortal.

But first, we need

to find the journals.

What happens if we

can't find the journal?

And Dr. Frankenstein

won't help us?

Then we'll do it ourselves.

We will do the best we can.

But first, we need to reanimate

our dear cousin, Henry.

And then he will

take care of the rest.

Now start searching

for that journal.

I let him down.

You couldn't control his fate.

Just as I couldn't

control my eyesight.

I should have known

it was an ambush.

It's by the grace

of the divine

that I am not burying two

children this day.

What if... what if

we find Frankenstein?

No. I'm sorry, child. No.

You didn't even listen to

what I was going to say.

You want to reanimate Felix?

No.

We are not gods.

We are fools to pretend to be.

This life is precious.

This life.

If you could cure blindness,

wouldn't you?

Child, you act as if

blindness is a curse.

The only curse is the

curse of a blackened soul.

Those committing evil

will never be happy.

Never.

They will never know

friendship or love.

And without that...

[door opens]

My name is Victor--

Frankenstein.

-My bride.

-Father!

My beloved...

Thank you for looking after her.

And I'm sorry for the loss

of the man at the docks.

My son.

Oh.

He was very brave.

The Clervals, they're

desperate people.

Desperate? For what?

Power. Greed.

Everything they do not possess.

That type of greed

can seem unstoppable.

Sorry, I'm rambling.

I followed you and...

I'm here to collect

this lovely creature.

Where are you going?

That's none of your concern.

Well, my brother sacrificed

his life, so yes, it is.

Apologies for my discourtesy.

It was for your own welfare.

We are leaving before

the Clervals

get what they're looking for.

Before it becomes impossible

to get off this island.

You're going to let them win?

Well, I doubt that

John Clerval has

the capacity to

bring back the dead.

But luck, by definition,

has outwitted us all at times.

No! Can't go.

I am sorry, my dear.

But once we leave, there

will be no more reanimation.

By now, the Clervals are

probably at my lab as we speak.

They only have until tonight

to bring back their coven.

And they will fail.

Enraged, they will

burn down my castle.

And there will be nothing left.

And no way to bring

back your betrothed.

They were married?

Married?

Not in this life.

Was it an accident

that took them?

They had plans,

but he was m*rder*d

before their blessed day.

Her husband, this woman,

was so stricken with grief

that she put herself

into an early grave.

Once he gained capacity

for speech,

all he could ask for was for me

to bring back his one true love.

I thought I was done with this.

But if I were to play God,

is love not the most

compelling reason to do so?

Love is not possession, Doctor.

It's surrender.

If you truly love them, you

would want their souls at peace.

Not chained here

by your science.

You would condemn her twice?

Once in life, once in death.

All because you

cannot bear to lose her?

Sometimes the holiest

act of love

is to let what we love rest.

Sometimes, sir, it is no

longer our decision to make.

I'll go.

No, even if you do beat them,

you cannot bring back her lover.

Then come with me.

You said it was no

longer our decision to make,

but you have one more.

She called you her father.

Let me tell you, sir,

from one papa to another,

she is expecting nothing more

than the very best in you.

To protect the very best in her.

I will watch her.

Have you found the journals yet?

No, but...

Look what I have found.

This must be where we input

the electrical equation

to power it up.

You're wasting time.

No, this is the power source

that cousin Henry talked about.

In place of any lightning storm.

Just stop wasting time.

And find the journals.

Useless.

No, you cannot go that way.

These roads are watched.

That will not end well for you.

-We will take the other road.

-Quicker!

It's a little scenic,

but it's not far.

Please don't k*ll me.

You.

You betrayed us at the docks.

With apologies.

They k*lled Felix.

Where did they take his body?

Those fools have

taken many bodies.

Sorry. Sorry.

After the Clervals resurrect

their cousin Henry,

they have a sinister plan

involving all the corpses

from the town's graveyard.

Please!

[screams]

He was the worst

kind of opportunist.

Why was he cutting those bodies?

Are they making another monster?

-My dear.

-A really big monster?

Much worse.

Stop.

I need to know what's worse.

My dear, he was creating

an army of the undead

with him as the commander.

How?

He figured that

under a Blood Moon,

the atmosphere was

changed somehow.

That if he was reanimated

under those conditions,

that he could control the dead.

But he wasn't dead.

No, I k*lled him.

I watched him k*ll himself

with the understanding

that I would be here tonight.

Reanimating him.

Now you know why

I didn't want to be here.

Maybe it's in here.

You are worthless!

Well, you look for it then.

Mary, you had one job to do.

Maybe Dr. Frankenstein

never committed

his process to the page.

I've already searched there.

It's a waste of time.

Stop wasting time!

The missing journal.

Let's begin.

[chuckles]

Agatha, the Bride and I,

we shall stop this madness.

You stay here.

No, but please.

I intend to return you

to your father unscathed.

-Now give me the sword.

-Please.

Use your dagger

if they get too close.

-Please.

-I will look after it.

I understand the magnitude

of what I'm asking here.

But if anyone is making

it out alive, it is you.

-Please.

-Please.

Please.

Be safe.

Are you ready?

He always was

my favorite cousin.

Hold, my bride.

I see you found my journals.

They were scribble.

But I made sense of them.

Now we have the equation

to start the machine.

My beloved.

Your lover is all in there.

Just cut into pieces.

Tell your beast that if

she makes any moves on us,

we will k*ll you.

My beloved.

Do you understand, beast?

He will die.

I'll lead her away.

[screaming]

This rod has enough electricity

to evaporate you into oblivion!

He's getting away!

No. The body!

We have to stop it

from reanimating!

We have to stop the machine.

Here.

It's harmless.

[screaming]

I just need a few moments.

This isn't safe.

We do not know where they are.

Hurry!

Here.

I am almost done.

[screaming]

Ah!

Frankenstein!

[grunts]

John!

John, she's coming!

[screams]

[panting]

Good riddance.

We should not have k*lled

Dr. Frankenstein.

What if we run into

problems with his machine?

We have no choice.

The Blood Moon

is almost at its apex.

Let's start up

this blasted machine.

It's time to welcome

back Cousin Henry.

[machine powering up]

Well?

This was a one-shot deal.

If we've mucked this up...

Come on, Cousin Henry.

Come on!

[chuckles]

Yes. Yes. Yes...

[gasping]

He's alive!

Alive!

Jesus, Mary, and Joesph!

Yes...

You're back, Cousin.

You're back.

Do you recognize us?

It's me.

Your cousin John.

And Mary.

I'm alive.

I'm alive!

Cousin...

Everything listed in

your journal is here.

We brought everything exactly

to your specifications.

We brought you back

under the Blood Moon.

Oh, Victor.

You disappoint me.

You two did what he could not.

Thank you.

We're ready to be

your commanders.

Then where is my army?

Here, Cousin.

Oh...

We have much, much work to do.

Grab him.

Get him on there.

We'll bring him

back to life first.

No, no, no, Cousin.

Cousin, no.

Not him.

He's the only one that

knows how the machine works.

John!

Cousin Henry!

You have to die first if

you want to be immortal.

[cackles]

No, no, I'm not ready. Please.

Please!

Very well.

Prepare the doctor.

Ready the generator, Mary.

Come.

But I... I don't know how...

If you want to stay alive,

you're going to have to be

a little more useful than that.

So teach me then!

What are you doing?

Currently changing

the neural transmissions

so that my army only

follows my command.

Yes, yes.

Not... not us though, right?

Not John and I.

We're meant to be commanders.

We're meant to control your

militia, not be controlled.

That was our promise!

Yes, well... we all made

many promises, didn't we?

There. Done.

[clatter]

Who is that?

She and her brother Felix were

trying to help Dr. Frankenstein.

Well, she'll be under

my control soon enough.

[gasps]

Wonderful, wonderful.

Dr. Frankenstein.

Hello.

Now, won't you be a dear

and stand up there for me?

Very good.

Very good.

Now, perhaps you

could get Mary's corpse

and place it

on the table for me?

Wonderful.

Wonderful, Victor.

Thank you.

Now, ready the patient.

We will revive her.

Up you get, Mary.

Very good. Very good.

Now, John too.

Very good. Very good.

Good. Well done.

Let's add another soldier

to my undead army.

Marvelous.

Wonderful.

All right.

John, Mary, collect more bodies

from the village cemetery.

Victor, take the girl into

the resurrection chamber.

Marvelous.

Go, now. go!

Oh... I remember you.

Yes.

This was the monster's lover.

Yes, we reanimated

her just before my death.

Do you remember her, Victor?

Oh, okay. Well, run along and

then put her in the chamber too.

[clattering]

[panting]

Yes, yes.

Victor, we're running

out of serum.

Hand me the last of it.

Quickly.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You know, I could really get

used to this obedience of yours.

Could you stand there, please?

Thank you.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

[groans]

[growling]

We've done it.

Victor....

We're ready to begin.

My army is ready.

Thank you for all your

help, wonderful man.

Now...

Wake up!

Wake up, my children!

You, you are the lucky few to

be brought back from the dead.

You, who are the lucky few, have

a chance to right your wrongs.

To seek revenge on those

who said they loved you

while you were alive,

but spat on your

grave in your passing.

[growling]

We are here to

reclaim this world.

To seek retribution.

To find revenge and

m*rder all those

who mocked

us in our lives!

All those who vilified us!

We will not be ignored!

Now go into the village.

Find all those that wronged you

and make them pay.

k*ll them all!

Go! Go!

Isn't it beautiful, Victor?

Why do I hear a heartbeat?

What are you doing?

Look at him.

Look at your beloved.

This is who you're fighting

for. Not Dr. Clerval.

Don't listen to her.

Listen to me!

Don't give in. Fight harder.

Fight for your beloved.

John, John!

k*ll them both, now!

Quickly!

Stop her.

[groaning]

[snarling]

Felix?

Felix!

[shouts]

Don't you touch him!

Don't you touch him!

[shouting]

Splendid!

Fill the chamber for

the next batch of soldiers.

Everything is going

exactly to plan.

Everything is going to work.

[muttering]

It's going to work.

The chamber is full.

Leave the rest of them

on the floor outside.

More... corpses.

BRIDE:

Agatha.

Agatha, wake up.

The village.

They had Felix's body.

Where did you go?

Saw Clervals...

Take you.

I followed back here.

Bride. You came back.

I have you!

No, that's not your

father anymore.

It's me. It's me.

Bring back beloved!

Dr. Frankenstein,

how are you alive?

This day...

It was inevitable.

So I created an antidote

in case they tried to turn me.

The Clervals

thought it was a tonic.

Do you know how to sew?

[growling]

[cackling]

Arise!

Join my army of the undead!

[groaning]

[clanging, growling]

Keep making all that noise.

[door opens]

Elizabeth?

[snarling]

It looks as though I've got all

the torches and pitchforks now.

Yes...

How is this going to work?

How is it going

to attach itself?

Just keep sewing.

I'll get the serum.

[groaning]

Oh, I think it's working.

I think it's working.

It's working.

Felix.

Whoever you think that is,

it's not him.

Protect his body, please.

Where's the antidote?

There is no more antidote.

It's in my blood.

-Find some.

-There is no more.

Protect the body.

The machine.

No. Wait.

Wait! That's too much current!

[screaming]

Dr. Frankenstein, was that...

The serum must have reacted

with the current.

Good God, what have I done?

[groaning]

Wait!

Where did he go?

The village.

He's still under

Dr. Clerval's control.

It'll be a m*ssacre.

What about his bride?

I don't know how to save her.

Is she under his control?

I don't know.

Wait.

I cannot let you go out there.

They will sense you are alive

and they will k*ll

you on the spot.

This will give you

temporary immunity.

Are you k*lling me?

[panting]

[groaning]

Simply marvelous.

Beloved!

Hello, my old friend.

I'm so happy to see you again.

You know, I think

you may need to k*ll

a whole bunch of people

that wanted you dead.

Off you go.

Yes, that's it.

[screaming]

Just marvelous.

[growls]

Ah!

No!

k*ll her!

k*ll your bride!

[growls]

[groaning]

What is this?

You k*lled my brother!

Stop!

On your knees, girl!

What are you doing?

Do you think you can control me?

You can't control me.

I control you.

I control everyone here.

And soon, I will control.

You don't control me.

Wretched girl.

You can't hurt me.

I am immortal!

I am a god!

Now k*ll her.

All of you, k*ll her!

[growling]

[screams]

BRIDE:

k*ll Clervals!

No, wait, no, wait.

Please, please, no.

No! No! No!

[screams]

Honey?

Welcome home, my love.

[groaning]

Beloved!

[moans]

My beloved!

[grunting]

Dr. Frankenstein,

is she...

She's... gone.

Oh, my dear young man.

Your bride...

She made it.

She survived.

Dr. Frankenstein, how?

The energy burned out and

the serum finally stabilized.

She's...

Beautiful.

What is true love?

As a scientist, I thought

it was just an equation.

A problem to be solved.

But there is no math

when it comes to the heart.

And these two

beautiful people

are made with the

greatest hearts of all.

Do you, sir, take this woman...

To be thy wedded wife?

I...

Do.

And do you...

...take this man...

to be thy wedded husband?

I do, my beloved.
