Fool's gold
*sigh* this movie had potential. I'm pretty over the Sacrificial Young Maiden trope by now – especially after having watched Damsel (the big Hollywood production with Millie Bobby Brown) earlier in the year, and now the The Bride. It's such a tired cliché, so if you're going to do it, you better do it perfectly. The Bride does not.The story as a whole is a struggle. The mystery in the plotline isn't really a mystery. The twist in the middle is predictable. And the ending feels flat. Yet there were instances, particularly after the little plot twist, where I saw gleams of curious concepts at play.
For example, there were moments where the relationship between the protagonist and the spiritual world seemed interesting and complex. But each time it looked like there might be something more to unravel, the story immediately plateaued. And the moments were, well, merely moments.
The Bride does get brownie points for costume design. But otherwise, the VFX wavered between impressive and laughable, the acting was oftentimes wooden, and the narrative structure was erratic. This is one to torrent, don't pay to see this in the cinema like I did.
