    Unoriginal, By-The-Numbers Horror.

    Sigh. Where to begin. We know one thing for sure - the director and producers of "The Bride" has seen "The Exorcist," "The Omen," "The Conjuring," and every other horror film in the world because they applied every trick they learned over the years into their "masterpiece." To say this film is full of cliches is like saying the Vatican is full of holy people.

    I guess I hate to admit it but maybe, just maybe, there are no more horror stories to tell, at least nothing original anyway. From here on and forthwith we will be inundated with nothing more than the same ol' same ol' day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. The die is cast; film makers in the horror genre have reached an impasse. From here on out we'll probably have more unoriginal offerings like "The Bride." At least the cinematography was pleasing to the eyes, so there's that.

    Beautifully shot cliche-full story

    We've been knew to the story. You'll probably predict most of it. Yet, it is very well shot. Dialogue seems kind of dull at times, but it is interesting they leave up some elements to interpretation. Don't put it on the top of your priority list, but it will most likely entertain you if you give it a try.

    Cliché

    This film gets only 2 stars its so cheesy and feels it rips of every haunted house/ ghost story imaginable.The story takes place in Russia apparently but even that feels unbelievable and tried to make it as American as possible. I think it was the makers dream to make a really cheesy American horror and they succeeded very well. Victoria agalakova the main actress is so hot though that's why i gave it a extra star.

    Wonderfully creepy!

    Wow, quite wonderful, actually. The film was really creepy, not just because of what happens, but also because of the premise. The contrast between the old and new in a modern world is great, adding to the creepiness. This is the story of a family curse and an innocent bride that could break the curse, wonderfully acted by Victoria Agalakova. Her husband, Ivan (Victor) is not really a strong character and it seems the film does just great without him. Bride Nastya (Victoria) is the star and hero of the film. The visual effects and make-up are very good and quite scary, too. This is a classic 80s style horror.

    its like the joke...

    What walks and walks and never reaches the door??? the film called nevesta or ''the bride'' in english. it is really nothing new or original, its ultraslow on plot development, and when the scares starts emerging, youre already worn out and tired and nearly sleeping, so i think this was a miss story/plotwise. the production aint bad, and the set department has done a great job prop wise and location settings. it does also score pretty high on filmatography, but its still not enough to call this a super horror.

    supernatural it is, and pretty psychotic in the hinges, so i do not want to scare away the audience, im just old and grumpy that has pivotal feeling about the genre. this was far too slow so just a 6.

      Vanya is a Russian diminutive for Ivan. Don't get confused. Is the same character.
    • Quotes

      The Photographer: The Russian scientist-chemist, the doctor of medicine Joseph Hamel, speaking at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, reported on the unusual properties of silver halide when deposited on the photographic plate. According to the scientist, the negative was capable of not only capturing the light reflected on it, but also to save something more: energy, which people called the soul. The academic community raised Hamel to laugh, but soon there was a ritual: the dead were photographed with eyes painted over the eyelids. It was believed that this way you could deceive death.
