I don't know why, but for some reason "The Diary of a High School Bride" was a title that piqued my curiosity. Unfortunately, the film itself didn't live up to those expectations. I imagined there might be voice-overs of a young high school girl reading from her diary regarding her experiences, memories, feelings, challenges of being, or having been a high school bride. What we're given is something much more straightforward, complete with awkward performances, awkward direction, a weak script, and a story that doesn't really go anywhere and doesn't offer up many genuine insights regarding what it feels like to be a high school bride. Oh sure, there is some information and light shed on this topic, but not as much as it could have. The only interesting thing is the slight bit of suspense towards the very end, which I won't spoil for anyone still interested in checking this film out. Oh, and the painting on the wall referencing another film, "The Screaming Skull", that bit worked well, even if it was only a couple seconds.
