Customer Reviews of Bride of the Monster
Bad Enough to Amuse Ed Wood was a lousy filmaker and director. His movies are notoriously bad. That's what makes them watchable. This film is arguably one of his better attempts. That is truly frightening. That's OK because the only frightening thing about this "monster movie" is that it was supposed to be taken seriously. That in itself is amusing. <

>The story is of a series of mysterious dissapearances in the swamp near town. The police and a snoopy woman reporter are all there to investigate. As it turns out, the reason for the mysterious vanishings is a mad scientist fugitive from Easter Europe who is trying to use atomic energy to creat a race of atomic supermen to conquer the world. Hilarious. <

>Bela Lougosi plays the mad scientist. Watching him is amusing on its own. His conception of "mad scientist" seems to comprise his accent, gratuitous pseudo-scientific words and some strange throwbacks to his earlier career as Dracula. His is one of the better acting jobs. <

>Tor Johnson, a former pro wrestler, plays the evil sidekick and monster. His dialog consists of "ARRRRGH!" He too is fun to watch. <

>Perhaps the best single job of acting in this film is by the giant octopus. It is made of rubber and says nothing. <

>It may seem like I am blasting this film. I am when it comes to serious cinema. It is, however, so poorly done as to be worth buying and watching. This is especially true of Ed Wood fans.
Camp Classic!
This movie is so intensely campy I cannot believe it. Drunk this is by far the best movie you will ever see. I know he's acheived a cult status at this point, but Ed Wood was an intense man with an extreme passion for this medium, and this film should be watched by everyone. Lugosi is so amazing, he tries so hard. Watch Ed Wood by Burton and Depp, and then watch this movie. It'll break your heart.
It's not too bad but yes it is rubbish
Basically this a sci-fi flick with an interesting story. The actors were not as atrocious as in Glen or Glenda. Sure they were wooden, but they weren't as cardboard cut out as Dolores was in that or many of the actors that were in that. In some ways though sympathies have to go to Bela Lugosi. He tries his damnedest to do his best in every film and is only let down by nearly all of those around him. His assistant Lobo ( or Tor ) isn't so bad himself. He plays the silent part well and knows how to carry out his job perfectly. It's just a pity he had to be in this film. Everybody else just is a bit too hammy in their acting to be really believable and well when it comes to inanimate objects that are pretending to be snakes or giant octopusses, the less said the better! Well actually, I might as well divulge them anyway......basically see them scream and squirm and toss and turn when the thing does absolutely nothing is hilarious.
Another problem is the ending which happens a little too quick. I know some might just turn off the DVD when they think it's all just crap but it seems Ed spent ages on how to plot the suspense and leaves you short changed on the ending. Just a simple few words " He messed with..." blah blah blah and kaboosh show's over folks. It's not so much of a happy ending as more of a botched job of an ending. Still there's a dramatic improvement in this film and Glen or Glenda
But Ed tried, honestly he tried
