Wow! Such a good movie.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

A couple about to be married are victims of a home break-in. Kira (Henrietta Riddervold) puts up a good fight, but alas succumbs at "The Blood Tree" which was introduced in the opening. This California tree is cursed because a Native American bride was raped and killed here by Confederate soldiers. We then get a formula revenge film.Characters are not believable. Actors have trouble with their lines. Not as good as that zombie rape-revenge film (Amanda Adrienne- "Avenged" or "Savaged") Guide: F-word. Rape Nudity (Henrietta Riddervold)

There is a very Yin and Yang flow about this movie. It balances in it's GOOD parts (acting and writing in a few good scenes, the whole killing to retrieving the "something borrow, something blue",some really good shots and camera work) and it's BAD parts (Technically: the movie "shows" it's low low low budget. with it's Bad sounds mix, the almost amateurish editing, the video and audio effects are effective in parts but very low grade, TV like.) But overall I must say The Bride definitely tickled the senses of this Horror/Slasher fan.

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.

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.
