Let’s talk about Ed Wood for a second. A very strange sort of director, who was mocked in Hollywood for both his use of menyeberang, salib dressing and for making film on a shoestring budget, resulting in the use of cheap effects that looked laughable. His most infamous film, Plan 9 from Outer Space, has become a movie that is so bad, it is funny, with fan coming to the movie dressed as characters from the film for fun. Would Ed Wood have been happy to know his film was enjoyed ironically. Perhaps so. But then we get to his other film, 1955’s Bride of the Monster. Did Ed Wood manage to strike ironic emas yet again atau is this movie not worth our time. That’s what we’ll find out on Cultober
I regret to tell you, however, that this review is lebih than likely going to be short because there was nothing I could get into in this movie. It does have it’s really hilariously bad moments, like the octopus which is clearly only being moved because the actors are shaking it atau a character get hit with a stray bullet, causing a nuclear explosion. But aside from that, there isn’t much so bad it’s good scenes. The movie follows a mysterious doctor oleh the name of Vornoff, played oleh the legendary Bela Lugosi, who is experimenting on humans that walk into the marsh in order to create a race of superhumans. One such person is a journalist and girlfriend of police officer Dick Craig who now has to save her from the mad doctor and his monstrous assistant, Lobo. Also something about a giant octopus that the doctor keeps around, I don’t know. It’s the thing people talk about the most in this movie.
Unfortunately, I can’t really get into this movie. The scenes that don’t have Dr. Vornoff just kinda feel like they are moving slow. The Octopus is fun, the explosion is fun, the scene where a police officer fights alligators with a gun that never needs to be reloaded, that’s fun. But aside from all those things, this movie can feel kind of like a chore to watch. I honestly couldn’t sit through any of the scenes in the police station and they just made me feel pretty bored. The scenes with Bela Lugosi are fun, but that’s mostly because it’s Bela Lugosi. I wish I had lebih to say about this movie, but I just can’t get into it.
Bride of the Monster is not a movie for me. I get that the movie is normally seen as one of the worst film of all time, but there is just nothing to enjoy on an ironic level. It doesn’t have enough stupid, silly effects atau insane moments in it. It does have Lugosi saying Lobo is as gentle as a kitchen, which can get a snicker out of someone, but that’s about it. I wanted to enjoy this movie ironically, but I’m afraid I couldn’t. If anda are really curious about this film, I guess anda can check it out. It’s only sixty five minutes. But I just couldn’t care for this film.
