The Bride! Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal's Feminist Frankenstein Reboot Is A Punk Rock Triumph - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website The Bride! review: Maggie Gyllenhaal reimagines Frankenstein with Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. A punk feminist triumph blending horror, musical, and Bonnie & Clyde.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! is the punk feminist monster movie 2026 needed. Jessie Buckley is a revelation, Christian Bale brings the heart, and that dance number? Chef's kiss. Part Bonnie & Clyde, part Metropolis, entirely unhinged in the best way.

I got the call from @laneheymont.bsky.social this morning, but this is the first time I've seen it in print: GIRL IN THE CREEK is a Stoker finalist for Best Novel!

I have to look at it again, because it's almost impossible to believe my eyes.
