The Bride

A woman and her soon to be husband are kidnapped by a few guys and taken out to the woods where she is raped then both are killed. They make a mistake and bury them by a tree that is cursed by a bride who was raped and killed and has mysterious powers. Oops. The vengeful spirit jumps into her body springing her into taking revenge action.

The film doesn't really go anywhere we haven't been but does almost seem like Avenged (2013) and of course borrows heavily from I Spit On Your Grave. I found it boring and just regurgitated themes. You don't really care about any of the characters.

Leave this bride at the altar.

I bet that a Bunch of kids can get together and come out with a better Movie Acting and direction. Except for her, The Actors are probably recruited for the Side walk in front of the Studio, and if they didn't, they should have been paid with Pizza. or paid by the Hour and the Story Plot Though it sounded Interesting as a Bride comes back for revenge " Sort of like KILL BILL" but when you start watching the only thing you will think about is: what the hell is that!!!! All in all this will Rank among your worst Hour and twenty Minutes ever spent in front of the Screen, and you will probably finish it because it is short anyway.

I must say this is definitely not an instant classic horror, nor is it bursting with originality. I did find the whole killing based on "something borrowed, something new ..." innovative and cool. But the rest is very much what you would expect from a low budget B Horror movie in matter of story, shallow characters, Quality of FX, or overall substance. If you watch horror movies as much as I do, you will find very similar elements from the overly used revenge horror recipe (See: The Crow, I Spit on your grave, The last house on the left, Eden Lake, etc.) As a woman I'm always up for watching any movie with a kick ass female lead; with the right budget for a proper production The Bride could've been a cool contender, but the limitation of a small budget, novice actors, and lack of great editors (The sound and colour correction needs work) The Bride was brought to her knees.

Some couple made up as usual these days of a pathetic guy and a girl in charge go out to spend some time in a cabin the woods. They plan to get marries so the girl puts on a bride dress. Guy disappears. When she finds him, there's 4 bad guys who threaten him. She doesn't give in easily so her guy is shot. She defends herself, manages to escape, and injure some of the bad guys. They catch up with her eventually, serially rape her, kill her and bury her.

The bad guy boss shows up at some point and the goofs have some make up some ridiculous story. He sends them to look for her.

At some point the bride is possessed by some native Indian bride's spirit who underwent a similar fate centuries ago. So no she's revived and looking for revenge and some items as well.

The Bride is ultra low budget. Despite that they managed to give us some nudity and some gore. The movie is short but it feels long since for a good chunk nothing is going on.

I give it 3 stars, for the nudity, the acting of the actors portraying the bad guys, and the script during the final act that actually gets kind of funny.

It's difficult to know quite what to make of this film; clearly it is a supernatural revenge fantasy, but the gratuitously brutal gang rape scene and the rhetoric of one of the killers appears to be aimed more at degrading a certain type of man than the victim. Whatever, on the eve of their wedding, the groom-to-be and the tragic heroine are given the run of an isolated house by a man who clearly has ulterior motives. The otherwise lucky guy is clearly a wealthy man, and it appears that he has been set up, the idea being to kidnap the bride and hold her to ransom. Unfortunately, the abduction goes terribly wrong, and he ends up being killed accidentally by one of the hired help, who appear to have only a double digit IQ between them. This is where it gets really nasty.

Make of it what you will, but all criticism aside, it is a fairly original offering, though hopefully there will not be a sequel.
