The longstanding Italian tradition of making horror films in English with female leads and over-egged scores and attractive cinematography and incoherent plots is alive and well in the 2020s, or so it would seem from Francesco Picone’s latest effort. Dead Bride sees a woman, her husband and their baby move into the house which she has inherited from her father, who recently died by suicide. Having been abandoned by her father at the age of nine, Alyson (Jennifer Mischiati) has had lifelong mental health problems which are all the more worrying due to the severe illness which troubled her mother. She’s coping pretty well for a new mother but is aware of her limits and smart enough to speak up when she needs help. When husband Richard (Christoph Hülsen) announces out of the blue that he’s going away on a work trip, she shudders at the thought of being without.
