This movie is a classic in so many ways. From outdoing it’s predecessor to a new iconic character, to amazing acting performances and a compelling story.

Doc Frankenstein is forced by an even crazier doc to make a woman for the “monster”. The story may be a bit slower than the original but it is still super entertaining. Our “monster” wants what we all want, to be loved, to be treated with kindness. But all he receives are screams and meanness. Even after the bride is created, she is afraid of him.

This one has a beautiful and tragic ending in which our hero sheds a tear. He is completely sympathetic for us. We still consider him to be the main protagonist because he is the center of the story and basically innocent. There is no Freddy Claws in these movies because everyone is a dick to the “monster”.

Overall we really enjoyed this one, Bride is a great flick with a powerful story, Tara really liked it with a score of 68/100 and I loved it with a score of 87/100. Dj says watch this beautifully tragic and super relate-able story.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
