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.

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.

OMG, was this the MOST RIDICULOUS movie with nothing but the ABSOLUTE WORST ACTING! I seriously dont think it even deserves the 1/2 star I had to give it just to leave this review TO WARN EVERYBODY TO AVOID WASTING THEIR TIME - an hour and 45 minutes to be exact! I think the best acting in this nightmare funko was the DOG! SHAME ON YOU, THE MOVIE CHANNEL for even running this stupid time waster/ sucker.... Argh, my skin is still crawling from the insanely BAD ACTING (and then there's the script/ movie 'plot's that's just as bad!) I would be embarrassed if I was any of those actors, to even have my name roll in the credits! Well at least I finally was able to free up at least 2% on my DVR for something else that may be worth it next time.... (Oh, did I mention they even had a shot from the back, of a naked ?70 something Corbin Bersen... how gross! All that older, LOOSE SKIN with minus an ass, and a brief silhouette of a gut in the making... An image that I now wish I had NEVER SEEN! ARGHHHHHH!!!!)

Sooooo... Hollywood at it's unoriginal best! Sweet innocent put upon Russian mother looks to escape to the U.S. Of course...somehow the usual Bride Tour is foregone, no get to know you introductions. Zip straight to mansion big enough to satiate the British royals, including maximum creep factor maid and man servant and terminal power outages. Gee whiz! What could POSSIBLY go wrong here?! Yeah...every, single thing you guess in the first couple minutes comes to fruition. Sincerely, at a couple of points I wondered if it wasn't a spoof, I really did. This doesn't even work as a popcorn movie on fright night, lacks NONE of the fun or funky charm of B horror flicks LOL!

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

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.

Rated: 4/5
