Finally Pretrorious blackmails Frankenstein into doing so by having the monster abduct Elizabeth.

"A macabre comedy classic."
-
"The gloriously baroque 'Bride of Frankenstein' is in every way a richer, more imaginative experience than its straight-arrow predecessor."
-
"One of the seminal achievements of Hollywood cinema, this brilliant sequel to the original Frankenstein is one of the greatest films of its genre and remains a lasting tribute to the unique genius of director Whale."
-
"As wonderful as the original was, this is one of the few times in cinema history when the sequel is even better"
