The Bride of Frank

Reading other more positive comments you could be forgiven for thinking this trash is comparable with John Waters movies, let me assure other Waters fans who may be persuaded to watch this...It's Not. The only comparison between this and Waters movies is that's its marginally twisted. Thats it. If that was all it took to make a good movie then everyone would be doing it, Waters has a visual style and a wicked sense of humour. The makers of Bride of Frank have no style whatsoever, they seem to have mistaken an old inarticulate person as a source of comedy. Guess what, Frank swears a lot, he's old thats pretty much the whole humour section of the movie. As for the "shocking" murders, I swear I nearly fell asleep, this is so ridiculously bad you can't even be shocked by such things, I'm guessing the blood squirting excessively from severed heads is supposed to be funny, it can be if done right, sadly nothing is done right in this film.

Years ago, prior to its release on DVD, I spent months trying to track down this film. Finally, a friend mailed me a dub of this low-budget film. I watched it and couldn't believe it didn't have a distributer. Thankfully, times have moved on.

The film itself is very low budget. It's like cut-price Troma (crossed with early John Waters) and would appeal to the same audience. Originally, videos were available from the director's own site at a reasonable price. I'd also been informed that the film was recently "filmlooked" to remove signs of its video origins. The version I viewed was, however, a copy of the original release.

The film tells the tale of Frank, an ageing warehouse worker who lives in an office with his cats and desperately seeks female company. Frank was taught at an early age that it's okay to kill people for being annoying as long as you give them warnings first. Thus, there's quite a high body count in the movie including some very bloody (but fake looking) deaths.

The film uses some real characters to add authenticity to the proceedings and so some of the acting is less than an Oscar winning standard (Chick Carter has to be seen to be believed!).

Some of the film borders on adult territory (there's use of some prosthetics that you wouldn't see in mainstream releases) but it's good, dirty fun (if you aren't shocked easily).

Part horror, part comedy...this is worth tracking down if you like your horror cheap and cheerful.

I for one think "The Bride of Frank" deserves its new-found life on DVD. It's a party movie (like "Story of Ricky") and like it or hate it, you won't easily forget it......

"Bride of Frank" is totally bad taste.It's extremely low-budget,crude and stupid,but some scenes made me laugh hysterically.An old man who is playing Frank has one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.She is searching for woman because he wants breasts!During his quest he kills many people in hilariously sickening ways.The acting is amateurish,the gore is cheesy and over-the-top and the dialogue is extremely vulgar!Anyway if you love John Waters classics or Troma's stuff,you'll laugh until it hurts with this one.8 out of 10-only for fans of bad taste cinema.

I love this movie. It's sick. It's twisted. Worst acting ever. No redeeming social values. It's the New Jersey that I know. There are scenes in it that will make you laugh until your sides hurt. There are scenes that will repulse you in ways you may not have been repulsed before. This movie must have been made with a lot of heart in it, and I have to give it 9 stars.

It's basically the store of Frank, a homeless guy who gets adopted by a bunch of guys working in a north New Jersey warehouse. He helps around the warehouse, and gets to live there as his reward. Soon, he starts panging for love. The movie is essentially about his search for love.

If you like Troma, you would love this movie.

The silliest of movies, the horniest horrors. Terrible acting & lack of actors is what makes it really stand out, if this was full of Channing Tatums and Megan Foxes it would be horrible. But it's not.

It's a wonderful story involving a homeless person taking residence in a warehouse and all the scary and sexy shenanigans that ensue. If I could change anything about this movie I wouldn't. If I were to say anything more specific it would take away the amazing surprises lurking around every corner. You have to take the leap yourself and watch this passionate, artful, cinematic, classy movie. Tits.
