Brides to Be

Landing squarely in the "intellectual horror" sub-genre of movies like The Babadook, Let the Right One In and It Follows, Brides to Be invites us into the lives of the characters – all their idiosyncrasies and bruised psyches – before heating up the horror. Brides to Be follows Jenna (Carollani Sandberg) and Robin (Angela DiMarco) to a remote lodge in the woods where they plan to marry the next day. Along with Nate, the bestower of quirky wisdom played brilliantly by Jesse Lee Keeter, and a creepy caretaker, they are alone in the Lodge. Or so they think. Watching Angela DiMarco's psychological crumble into desperation and Carollani Sandberg's nuanced intensity seals it. Brides to Be is one of the best horror movies in years.
