If you're a fan of the classic Universal Horror films, you'll find yourself captivated by "Bride of the Werewolf."
At the center of this eerie tale is our sympathetic hero, Saul Ashley, portrayed by Jade LaFont. Saul has lived a life of seclusion, burdened by the curse of the werewolf, which transforms him under the light of the full moon. His solitary existence takes a dramatic turn when he heroically intervenes to rescue two women being assaulted on a lonely, desolate road near his secluded home. Grateful for his bravery, the women seek refuge with Saul, bringing unexpected warmth to his otherwise lonely life.
In a twist of fate, they enlist the help of a determined scientist, played by Tony Brown, who believes he can free Saul from his nighttime transformations. He proposes an audacious plan involving the revival of an ancient Pharaoh, suggesting that the secret to reversing Saul's curse lies within the shadows of a forgotten era.
One of my main grievances with the film is the missed opportunity for a more playful title; "The Wolfman Meets the Mummy" would have perfectly captured its thrilling premise and homage to the giants of classic horror.
