Stars: Yoson An, Rebekah Palmer, Fiona Feng, Catheryn Wu, Geeling Ng, Charles Chan, Ian Mune | Written and Directed by David Blyth
I get a perverse thrill out of terrible dialogue in movies. You know what I mean – the kind of cliched, hackneyed writing that sounds like it came right out of some washed-up actor’s mouth on a cheap cardboard set in a parody of old Hollywood. The thrilling part, you see, is that it’s more entertaining when the actors reciting the dreadful lines (and usually the filmmakers putting words in their mouths) don’t actually know that what they’re saying is utter tripe.
“You look like you’ve just seen a ghost!” one character exclaims to another at one point. That point being immediately after she’s just seen a ghost. That’s totally my jam.
As you can probably tell, I had rather a lot of fun with Ghost Bride.
