“Dead Bride” (*1/2 out of four) was a dispiritingly glum horror thriller about a woman (Jennifer Mischiati) and her partner (Christopher Hulsen) who return to her childhood home following the death of her father but soon find that all is not quite right and various evil spirits and entities still exist within the house that may kill them all for good. Or something like that. A few minor scares and jumps but film is overall dour and inert and fails to come to life. It’s about time horror filmmakers came up with some new ideas in order to raise this genre from the “dead.”
