The Bride is the latest female horror movie monster to hit the big screen, but she isn't the only great one over the years in horror history.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's exquisite reimagining of the Frankenstein legend is an exceptional monster movie and one of the year's best films.

Peter Sarsgaard, Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening and Jake Gyllenhaal also appear in this punk-rock exhumation of a character only briefly introduced in Mary Shelley’s novel.
