So, these characters make some dumb choices. And then they make really dumb decisions. I mean how did you not miss the stupidity of the choices. Women on a bachelorette party have the groom and his backwater friends stop by to "meet and greet." The problem is, these guys (groom included) are obvious rejects from Deliverance, but this only seems disturbing to one of the women, and abrasive for a couple others. Once the intentions of the men are clear, things make more sense on one hand, but all the more unreasonable for the original question of "How did the women choose to get into this situation?" Nothing new then happens but standard tropes of this type of isolated backwater situation. The end isn't too surprising and has an underwhelming tone. Overall, I believe I only fast forwarded about 10 minutes toward the end to avoid the mind numbing chase scene.

Just Right
jptiedema2 May 2023
This is by no means a great movie. But, it moves right along with the thrills, and if you just want to have some mindless fun and yell, "kill 'em you idiot!" at the screen, it's not a bad choice for a midnight movie.
It's a horror movie that takes place at a remote cabin, like countless others in this genre. ('Cabin in the wilderness' is a sub-genre of its own at this point!) Leave it at that and try not to read the full description so you don't know where it's going, if you can. That's all that needs saying. I thought I'd throw in a review that makes an argument for watching 'Bury' if you're in the right mood. Peace.

I love a good horror movie I do. Even low budget ones because they're often underrated & pretty good. This one started off meh, but after the erotic (hair swinging) dance scene the twist made me jump like, Oh yeah here we go! However, I'm a horror junkie and I know, well i thought I did, that vampires had to have a stake thru the heart, a crucifix, holy water, or sunlight to kill them. These kills were wayyy too easy unless I'm missing something.1st, why would I be ok with my party girl friend leaving with MY fiance & his buddies without ME? 2nd, the ladies were completely uptight for really no reason besides the guys crashing their boring af party! 3rd, Liz was a complete pain, no way would we had invited her sorry no! Sadie was stuck up, all of them were unbearable, except maybe party girl, if you watch your man around her. I was excited when the twist was revealed but the killing of the vamps, I had to stop there. I forgot about the dumbest decisions ever made, like running to their actual lair, loud 'whispering', a flashlight shinning UP towards the cover they're hiding under, so much more. I was glad when June got the axe. Sorry not sorry. I was mad when Sadie got away, again sorry not sorry. So after killing all of the male vamps, the girls are now vamps? And how please tell me how, Sadie was able to get a full night's sleep change clothes do her make-up and pour a cup of coffee after a night with her sister and friends being eaten and brutally butchered by vampires! Any sane person would have been insane by then. Running on pure adrenaline, crying, covered in blood, and not to mention...the lead vamp that she KILLED had THE CAR KEYS! Maybe grab them out of his dead pocket and like, I don't know...DRIVE AWAY!!! I really liked the idea and if they had really put in some work this movie could've been BadAss!!!

Bachelorette party from hell. ..this had potential, until the conversation started. The dialog was beyond appalling and character development was non existent. You had the bride to be, the btch sister who doesn't approve, the party girl friend and the fiance who is a redneck loser....there were more but they added nothing. Not that the "main characters" added any substance. The editing was absurd...the $ 2,400 bottle of wine scene: 2 glasses are poured and then abracadabra everyone has wine! The fiance and his bros are redneck vamps who plan to quite literally "bury the bride". They start picking off the party goers one by one until their plan fails and the vamps are no more. Until the end when all of the bridal party ( aside from the btch sister) arise from their graves and are now vamps. The movie could not end fast enough and quite honestly deserved 0 stars. How is this director related to Rob Zombie?!!?? Yikes.

This movie was nauseatingly bad. A woman wants her four friends to come with her on a bachelorette weekend to her fiance's place. Everyone is expecting something fun and glamorous, but it turns out to be a desert hunting cabin. They hate it and they don't have fun. Then, the fiance shows up with his hunting buddies, and the girls are even more repulsed. The men turn out to be vampires and they plan to kill the women, but the girls fight back. They kill each other until one woman is left. Luckily, the fiance mentioned that she can bring her friends back to life as vampires by burying them in the desert. She does, and the movie ends. It wasn't fun. It didn't look good, the story was uninteresting, and the performances were unbearable. This was completely terrible.
Bury the Bride
BandSAboutMovies23 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Michael David Cummings is better known as Spider One, the lead singer of Powerman 5000. He's also expanded into making movies, producing the series Death Valley for MTV and then directing Allegoria - which also had his partner/fiancee actress Kyrsy Fox, Scout Taylor-Compton, Lyndsi LaRose, Rachel Brunner and Adam Marcinowski in the cast - before making this new film. You may know his brother Robert a bit better. You know. Rob Zombie.
June Hamilton (Taylor-Compton) is marrying a man named David (Dylan Roarke), who her friends see as, well, maybe a bit too rural. Redneck may be a better term. Yet they all come together to have a bachelorette party in the woods and even June's sister Sadie (Fox) comes along, despite her disagreeing with every single thing her sister does.
The moment the girls arrive at the hunting cabin of David's family, things seem off. Carmen (LaRose), Liz (Brunner) and Bett (Katie Ryan) don't really enjoy all of the stuffed animal heads everywhere, but they try to have the best time they can, thanks to some expensive wine and the chance to spend time together. And then David and his friends Bobby (Cameron Cowperthwaite), Mike (Marcinowski) and Puppy (Chaz Bono) intrude.
The girls are put off by them even further - I mean, what is June doing with a guy missing teeth? - except for party girl Carmen, who takes off into the woods with four of them to supposedly hunt an animal but she takes as the opportunity to do some exotic dancing for her friend's fiancee's friends. Everything after this is a spoiler, pretty much, but it ends up with June and Sadie against David and his feral pack after they drink Carmen like shotgunning a beer.
The whole idea of burying the bride is tied into a bottle of backwoods booze that gets buried in a ritual, but the real deal is that this family of rural bloodsuckers lures women back to their hunting lodge, make them have bachelorette parties and then kill them. They must have a whole room filled with penis gag gifts. Except, you know, these vampires can go out in the sun and are really, really easy to kill and given to pontification.
What emerges is a movie that is uneven. When it's good - as in the closing few moments - it looks great and has some new ideas for the supernatural white trash in the woods genre. And when it's bad - such as the first half of the movie where every woman treats one another like they hate each other and look, I don't hang out with just the girls all that often, but I would hope they were a bit more supportive than this - it's bad. And literally hard to listen to, as sometimes it's too quiet and as you strain to hear, it suddenly gets too loud, like the Pixies doing a whole bunch of blow and trying to outspend the $426,934.81 Black Sabbath did on Volume 4 and then realizes they have the same audio issues where everything is too loud, but if it's too loud you're too old but hey, we're talking about a movie here and not great bands that established the loud quiet loud style. This is just hard to hear, a problem with lots of modern films or maybe years of said Black Sabbath riffs have made me deaf.
Can we get back to the supernatural white trash in the woods genre? You know who else makes movies in the very same field? Oh yeah, Spider One's brother. And he makes movies starring his wife. I'm not saying it's a coincidence but he also has a band that sounded a lot like White Zombie. And maybe other people aren't going to call this out, because after all, Spider One also does a podcast for Bloody Disgusting. Who knows, maybe he's a nice enough guy. But it just feels like maybe he could make a better movie, one that doesn't have its lead watch everyone she knows die and then just crash out on the couch and actually be able to go to sleep. If I have a deadline, I'm awake all night. If I just watched my entire circle of friends get killed by a bunch of NRA bloodsuckers, I'd be a total lunatic. Actually, I'm jealous she can sleep so well in the face of such supernatural concerns.
In the world of rock star directors, Spider One comes in not as high as his brother or Dee Snider and doesn't have the lunatic outsider art edge that Glenn Danzig brings to the table. Actually, if you didn't tell me that Spider One made this, I'd think, "Oh, someone tried to make a Rob Zombie movie with all the swearing and weird sex talk but not as intense or idiosyncratic." And then I saw Spider One in the credits and knew that my theory was correct.

It has promise
ylopez-2379428 June 2023
Hmmmm it has promise. But it's a bit unbelievable that the main actress would be marrying that guy. Not so much because of his looks. It's how he treats people. Seems very uneducated. Makes it hard to believe that the main actress would fall for that. Seems very forced in our faces lol. It does have promise the actual
Plot. But nah. I would not rate it a 10. I think I am being more than generous rating it a 5. I do
Like somewhat of the suspense scenes. Hmm makes me wonder what's going to happen who will live and die at the end. Which of course I have my theories.
Lolol

Rednecks, guns and vampires, the ingredients for a night of fun...
paul_haakonsen21 January 2024
I had only heard about the title of this movie, but didn't know what the movie was about. And thus, as I happened to stumble upon the movie here in 2024, of course I opted to sit down and watch it, since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. Given my life-long romance with the horror genre, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch "Bury the Bride".
The storyline in the movie is pretty straightforward, though the movie does take a much needed change of direction and pacing around 38 minutes into the ordeal. Writers Krsy Fox and Spider One, with the former also directing and starring in the movie, put together a fair enough script. Sure it wasn't a revolutionary script or narrative, but it proved to be entertaining enough for what it turned out to be.
However, I have to say that it was a bit difficult to buy into the part of the storyline that June (played by Scout Taylor-Compton) would be marrying David (played by Dylan Rourke), because the two characters were just so very, very far apart in terms of types of characters.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, aside from Krsy Fox and Scout Taylor-Compton. It was a rather small cast ensemble, but the actors and actresses definitely put on good performances and carried the movie nicely.
The special effects in "Bury the Bride" were good, and definitely served the movie well.
Watchable, sure, but "Bury the Bride" is hardly a movie that I will return to watch a second time, as there simply isn't enough contents to the script and storyline to support more than just a single viewing.
My rating of "Bury the Bride" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Low-budget horror flick with some good performances and a few fun twists
mesporto-135365 June 2023
Overall this is a fun film -- I give it a C+ -- hampered by issues (technical, continuity, editing, other compromises) likely related to budget and time constraints. The writing/dialogue is lazy in important places, with one or two characters relying on distractingly repetitive f-bomb insults. A few more takes and some thoughtful editing might have done wonders. That said, the film contains some interesting ideas and twists despite its play on standard horror genres and tropes. Key for me are some standout performances, particularly by Dylan Rourke (captivating in an extended monologue) and his gang of henchmen and Lyndsi LaRose, who makes the first half worth watching. The movie contains some solid practical effects as well. Its creative ending was one bite shy of entirely satisfying. Give Bury the Bride a shot and forgive its imperfections. You'll enjoy your time if you can get past the dialogue and a few lapses in logic.
BURY THIS FILM...OMG....Horrible !

A highly enjoyable and more effective effort than expected
kannibalcorpsegrinder22 September 2023
Taking a road trip together, a group of girlfriends arrive at a remote house in the desert for a special bachelorette party but when the fiancee and his friends show up unexpectedly the girls discover the horrifying secret the men share and must race to get away before they're killed.
This was a pretty decent if generally underwhelming genre effort. One of the film's better elements is the rather intriguing setup that gives this one a rather solid starting point for its later shenanigans. The trip out to the desert and the amount of time spent alone with each other to get to know them and their issues, not just the issues that get brought up when they're both drunk but also sober that bonds them together despite those other factors, starts the film off well. The constant arguments that pop up are genuine issues that add a nice bit of spice to the proceedings which provides a nice bit of conflict to everything and setting this up nicely. That provides this one with plenty of fun once it gets to the crash from the boyfriend and his friends which sets everything in motion. The initial idea of what's going on is quickly changed by a great reveal sequence with one of the girls at their compound that really moves this along at a faster clip. Overall, this offers the type of high-energy action with the group attacking the girls and bringing about some frantic attempts to get away that are quite fun and feature far more brutal gore alongside the effects used for the reveal. As this generates a highly effective final half on top of the fun first half, there's quite a lot to like about this one. There are some issues at play with this one that holds it down. The main issue featured here is the somewhat confusing nature of the relationship that's at play between the sister and her fiancee, which is not handled all that well. There's very little about what makes the two attracted to each other since we're told they're different people leading very different lifestyles and what we know about him makes it seem quite odd how they would even meet, much less showcase what would make her attracted to him in the first place. There's way too much questioning happening about this part of the film, and it has a cheap feel as a result with no answers given. The other detrimental issue present, which isn't as big of a deal but still somewhat harms this, is the somewhat overlong and dragged-out finale that is trying to build some suspense in what's going on but ends up just leading this down a path of inevitability far more than it should. The endless scenes of the older sister running around the cabin, tidying up, and just generally not doing anything all for the sake of wasting time for a final shock it's quite clearly aiming for is a bit distressing with so much of the running time building up this obvious point so it can be somewhat distressing. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot else really wrong here.

This is an average, to slightly above average, addition to the horror genre that's worth a watch for horror enthusiasts
kevin_robbins5 August 2023
Bury the Bride (2023) is a movie that was recently added to Tubi. The storyline follows a bachelorette party in the middle of nowhere where the groom lives. Things get out of hand when the groom, and his friends, appear with their own intentions for the bachelorette party.
This movie is directed by Spider One (Allegoria) and stars Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Krsy Fox (Underworld Evolution), Dylan Rourke (Jezebel), Lyndsi LaRose (Ant-Man) and Chaz Bono (American Horror Story).
This is a rare Tubi Original that I actually enjoyed. The storyline, setup and settings were good and the plot took a twist I wasn't expecting that was surprisingly good. The horror elements were solid with some good gore, blood splatter, biting and flesh ripping. The diversity of the villains were good. There were a couple frustrating decisions by the characters, but not enough to not enjoy the movie. The ending was okay too.
Overall, this is an average, to slightly above average, addition to the horror genre that's worth a watch for horror enthusiasts. I would score this a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Backwoods horror with Lyndsi LaRose and Scout Taylor-Compton
Wuchakk29 October 2023
Five women from SoCal travel to a remote hunting cabin for an unorthodox bachelorette party. The filthy cabin is owned by the redneck fiancé of June (Scout Taylor-Compton) and he unexpectedly shows up with several of his hick friends for an unforgettable night.
"Bury the Bride" (2023) is cabin-in-the-woods horror helmed by the younger brother of Rob Zombie, Michael David Cummings (aka Spider One), who's the frontman of the band Powerman 5000. Like his brother, he features his spouse/partner in his movies, which is Krsy Fox (Sadie).
Despite the skankiness of Lyndsi LaRose's character, Carmen, she's a highlight on the female front; very stunning. Thankfully, Scout Taylor-Compton's June is more winsome and takes second place.
To appreciate this flick, you have to be able to stomach the white-trash-in-the-sticks horror of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and typical Rob Zombie flicks. It combines the cabin-in-the-woods setting with bits of "Deliverance" and films that I can't name because I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that the surprise at the 38-minute mark works well and there are a few genuine scares, as well as effective spookiness.
The movie runs 1 hour, 23 minutes, was shot in Los Angeles.
