Bride of the Monster (1955)

Entertaining Ed Wood Classic


I don't think that most of Ed Wood's films are as bad as some people make them out to be - they are entertaining. No, they are not the greatest films but they do have entertainment value and a fan following for a reason. Bride of the Monster might be Wood's best film.

We have the great Bela Lugosi as Dr. Eric Vornoff - a mad scientist out to create atomic creatures... and he echos his hand gesture from White Zombie (a nod in that direction).

We also have Tor Johnson as Lobo - Lobo is very much like Johnson's character's from Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) and The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961).

Bride of the Monster really is worth watching if you are into the classic sci-fi horror and like a good B Horror film.


7/10
