The Bride is a 1985 Gothic romance film directed by Franc Roddam, and starring Sting, Jennifer Beals, Geraldine Page, and Clancy Brown. Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, the film follows Baron Charles Frankenstein who creates a woman, Eva, while his original monster—believed to have been killed in a laboratory accident—escapes into the countryside.

The film, an international co-production between the United States and the United Kingdom, was released theatrically on August 16, 1985, by Columbia Pictures to generally negative reviews from critics. It was a commercial failure, grossing only $3.6 million.
