All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Blood Splattered Bride (1972)

Director: Vicente Aranda

Synopsis:
A new bride is forced to deal with the acting out of her husband's sexual fantasies. Soon she finds a terrible family secret and is comforted by the strange woman that was found on the beach and has a secret of her own.

My Take:
You'll find some blood, some boobs, and some style wrapped in a decent story even if it doesn't make a lot of sense at times.
Another film based on the Le Fanu classic story "Camilla".
A definite Euro 70's vibe. I normally enjoy those kind of flicks. If you do, then check this one out.

Rating: In the middle
