Beware That Metal Salad Bowl Thing!
16 May 2005
Most of Dr. Bella's patients seem to die in this film--and it's probably of embarrassment. After all, how would you feel if some one tied you to a table and then strapped a metal salad bowl on your head? The purpose of these odd experiments seems to be the creation of an "atomic" man, through which Bella can rule the world...but his subjects keep dying off, and eventually intrepid reporter Loretta King goes stomping out to Bella's house to see just what's up--and pretty soon she too is writhing on the table with that metal salad bowl thing on her head.

THE BRIDE OF THE MONSTER doesn't really have the sublime ineptitude that makes PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE so much fun, but it has more than enough unintentional hilarity to keep you tuned in. After all, where else are you going to see a rubber octopus, an angora-fondling slave, and a police chief who plays with birds? And dare we mention an incredibly obnoxious performance by Loretta King, who has less talent than your bathroom tile? Ed Wood fans will love it, for sure, and for them I give it four stars. But all others are warned away! Gary F. Taylor, aka GFT, Amazon Reviewer
