The Bride (1973)
4/10
Barbara is very angry...and that awful music probably added to her anger!

The terrible production values are a major problem with "The House That Cried Murder" and it's a shame, as the ending is just terrific and it could have been a good film.

When the story begins, Barbara insists to her father that she is going to get married....even though her father doesn't trust her shifty fiance. Well, it turned out daddy was right and the wicked fiance didn't even wait long to begin his nasty ways. His old girlfriend shows up at the reception and he boinks her while everyone is celebrating the nuptuals! Barbara walks in on them and, not surprisingly, she goes nuts on him. She then runs out of the reception...and isn't seen again for some time.

In the meantime, the horrible husband doesn't do a lot to hide his awfulness and he shacks up with this old girlfriend. Soon, however, the pair are tormented by someone...someone bent on driving them over the edge! What's next? See the film.

The basic plot and finale are great. The problem is that the music is god-awful as are most of the production values. It just looks cheap and the director managed to make the least of an excellent story. Hardly worth seeing.
