Bride of the Werewolf

This was most definitely an experience,, I can honestly say I've never witnessed something of such biblical crapness, galactic awfulness, and dare I venture airtight buffoonery that made me smile as much as I did watching this film. There's no point wailing on about the acting or special effects because the budget obviously didn't show up for work, it's the complete lack of effort in every department that really shines through, but in a hilarious way whether intended or not. For example they try to portray a Hammer esque vibe with Oldy World references, castles, mad scientists, simple villagers etc but no attempt whatsoever is made to put this on film. Our heroines find themselves stranded at an old stately house inhabited by a wealth recluse with a disfigured companion, which is actually a 2 bed semi with a fat bloke and a grimacing woman. They have simple meals prepared because there's no electricity so far from civilization, yet there's a flamin TV on the wall and light switches in every room, it's obviously just a house, we know this and so do they but they just rumble on regardless. I sort of liked the brute force and ignorance approach after I got used to it, if you go into this expecting absolutely nothing then you might have a laugh like I did, just don't blame me if you see it for what it actually is, the purest ever form of unadulterated nonsense.

This was someone's school project or some fun friends were having. The script is super cliche, I think on purpose. It's super campy. The acting is absolutely horrendous. But at least it follows a storyline and it was more fun than I thought it was going to be. It is pretty bad though.

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.

If you're looking for a relaxing evening giggling at a campy horror movie, this one is for you. Some neat effects, a really odd looking werewolf, some utterly ridiculous props...we laughed all the way through!

This movies never lets a clear lack of budget stop it and delivers everything that you'd want from a werewolf movie.

Unlike some other recent werewolf films, you actually see the monster in this and there's plenty of full moon action.

The plot is ambitious but what really makes it brilliant is that it's hilariously rough around the edges. If you like old fashioned monster movies then this is for you.
