Bride of Violence (2018) Reviews

• Dark indie thriller

  BRIDE OF VIOLENCE is a dark, indie thriller about a couple who decide to head off camping in the wilderness, only to encounter a psycho in the middle of nowhere who proceeds to torment them. The Christian sub-plot of the movie proves to be an unwelcome distraction and slows this down quite considerably, making it alternatively cheesy and dull.

  The overall idea of this film is not bad. It seems as though it was short in the not too distant past. The characters lack depth and the motive of the antagonist is not really clear. It'll leave you thinking...what did I just watch and why.

  Everything about this film is slow, the dialog, the acting and the story development, with that said, if you can sit through the 82 minute run time, it's not terrible. A young Christian couple are leaving a group retreat and heading camping for a few days before heading home, their pastor is concerned that they will not wait until they are married to have sex, and gives Dennis (Dylan Bronte) a talking to before they leave trying to convince him to wait until after they are married in a few months. Kate (Brooklyn Wilde) on the other hand is ready and wants to get down to business as soon as they are alone in the wilderness. The chosen camping spot is one Kate and her family visited when she was younger and they visit some ruins and an abandoned mine shaft, she shows Dennis around and then try's to convince him that their is no need to wait they might as well do it, he still wants to wait and gets frustrated with Kate's insistence. From here the movie moves into the torture and gore phase, they run into an escaped convict (Richard Anderson) who has one thing (Kate) on his mind. Richard Anderson does the best job of acting in this film, and it's still a relatively week performance, he is more believable as just some guy in the woods than a hardened criminal and his attitude comes off as more carefree wanderer than someone trying to escape and hide from the law. Dylan Bronte as Dennis does not seem into the role and seems even less interested in his fiancé. Brooklyn Wilde as Kate pretty much seems to want sex any way she can get it and if her future husband isn't going to give it to her then maybe this criminal will, lets play coy and see what it's like. Overall weak performances all around, the story plot is classic 70's sexploitation material but in the end it will disappoint hardcore horror and Women in Peril fans
