Bride of the Monster
“More horrifying than "DRACULA"..."FRANKENSTEIN"”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 73, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Bela Lugosi conducts atomic experiments in a swamp while an octopus becomes involved in ways the available props cannot convincingly support. Ed Wood's earnest monster business is an inviting combination of grand scientific ambition, improvised equipment and actors doing most of the wrestling work themselves.
