“The Russian Bride” (*1/2 out of four) was an obvious and tedious horror thriller about a Russian woman (Oksana Orlon) who travels to America with her daughter (Kristina Pimenova) to marry a reclusive billionaire (Corbin Bernsen) but she soon realizes he is not who she thinks and that he’s a nutjob intent on ruining both their lives. Yet another thriller which makes you wish “Fatal Attraction” had never been such a monster hit all those years ago. It’s dispiriting that nearly 32 years later filmmakers are still ripping it off with little imagination. Bernsen’s usual solid performance provides film’s only sparks.
