Blake Crane Film Pulse Stuck somewhere between a gothic Hammer-horror throwback and trashy revenge-sploitation, The Russian Bride has trouble fully committing to a style or a story. Rated: 4/10 Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This kind of lush, lurid horror is not to everyone's tastes, but if you're a fan of the genre you'll find it a real treat.

John C I found 'The Russian Bride' on a streaming service among the 'horror' category and, seeing as I'm a fan of the genre, I eventually got round to watching it. I guess the hardest part of reviewing it is trying to describe whether it is a 'true' horror or not. A reclusive billionaire imports a Russian woman (and her daughter) to marry and then live with him in his mansion in America. The setting definitely works with the 'horror genre' as it's a creepy mansion in the middle of nowhere, pretty much cut off from the rest of the world - and it's filled with weird and unsettling trinkets and members of staff. So you know something bad is going to happen - and it does. However, to go too deeply into the 'horror' element will be giving away spoilers and, although this film is hardly a classic, there was enough here to keep me interested in finding out where it was going. It's a slow burn, but I found it worth the wait for the more 'explosive' final act and definitely thought it's better than a lot of films I've found on streaming services. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I'd actually probably have enjoyed it less if I knew where it was going and the fact that I didn't know what the film's 'gimmick' was that kept me invested. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Surprisingly, it was a decent, good thriller. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Daniel B The Russian Bridge es una de las experiencias más extrañas, su narrativa es por lo menos curiosa, siendo totalmente radical su cambio de tono en los 3 actos de la misma. Siendo en el primero un suspenso que se basa más en los pequeños detalles antes de enfrascarse en una película de terror, es muy lenta en su construcción y poco interesante, para en el segundo adoptar los tintes de una narrativa sombría más convencional que sobre todo los últimos 10 minutos antes de entrar en el momento climático de la misma son los mejores de la cinta, la película se vuelve bizarra, con un giro de trama aunque algo fuera de lugar funciona para impactar al espectador, para en el tercero pasar de esa buena construcción para ser supongo yo inconscientemente una resolución sustentada en el humor negro, dónde la protagonista inhala una cantidad irrisoria de cocaína para salvar a su hija y hacer una carnicería en el camino, mientras que su hija es ayudada por un fantasma que la libera, que sí, en su mayoría están bien logradas las muertes, pero se siente totalmente anticlimático con el tono antes presentado, que sintetizaran al fantasma así me parece muy raro, no entiendo cuál era el objetivo para construir una historia con un final tan fuera de sí que traiciona el tono antes presentado. Visualmente la película es muy rápida y no se siente conexa entre sí, las actuaciones fuera de Corbin Bernsen que para mí es el que sostiene la película y con lo poco que le dan es muy bueno, y por pocos momentos Kristina Pimenova que se siente en general muy plana y poco expresiva, todos dan actuaciones muy sosas, no son convincentes y te cuesta empatizar u odiarlos en sus respectivos papeles, la trama toma todos los clichés que el suspenso presenta pero no los termina de una manera interesante, siendo muy aburrida en su primera hora y veinte de duración y conveniente en otros aspectos. The Russian Bridge a través de una trama muy aburrida y cambiante en su tono no es difícil de ver, es la típica historia de suspense de serie b de la que estamos acostumbrados, que no innova ni se arriesga, es la muestra concisa de que se necesita estructurar el conflicto antes de exponérselo en la cara al espectador. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review brad p ‘The Russian Bride' Only Half Works But Earns Points for a Wild Final Act Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Corbin Bernsen got the creepy rich guy down pat in this movie. While it took a bit to see what his motives were in bringing a Russian bride and her daughter to his mansion/castle in the middle of nowhere, there was enough suspense to keep us intrigued for the hour and 45 minutes. The ending was a bit of a surprise, though it should not have been, but it was entertaining enough. A bit on the gory side late, but we've seen worse. Enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Good start, faded at the end. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/18/20 Full Review Read all reviews
