The film revolves around Doctors Herbert West and Dan Caen trying to discover the secret of creating human life. Maybe both of them are trying to move forward in creating an ideal woman from dead tissue. It is that bride who unleashes her partner in the sensory horror someday.
The excessive blood-spurting gruesomeness and cartoonish stop-motion effects trivialise the horror and undercut the would-be black humour in this travestied sequel to Stuart Gordon's hugely enjoyable film.
If it lacks the intimate cohesion of the first film despite its desire to resurrect a feeling of doomed love, it at least isn't coy about ladling out the goodies.
Brian Yusna has replaced Stuart Gordon in the director's chair, without bringing new life to the affair. Even the jokes in the Woody Keith/Rick Fry screenplay seem refried, suggesting that all too much of this Bride is old and borrowed...
