A group of friends at a bachelorette party are stalked, tortured and murdered by a masked figure, who forces them to face a long-buried secret.

This is fairly mediocre for a revenge slasher film. It&#39;s pretty tropey for the first 60-70 minutes - coeds off to a secluded region, slasher takes the group apart one at a time, all cell service is gone (because they can&#39;t just cut the wires anymore), a secret unifying the main group starts to unravel, a potential mislead is introduced and then dispatched quickly and everyone left is gathered for a final confrontation. If you&#39;ve watched more than half-a-dozen revenge killer films, you&#39;ve got this noise figured out by the time the 3rd co-ed drops dead from poison. And this is where the movie falls apart. The real true weak link of this film is the character of, our final girl, Dorit. I&#39;m not going to say she&#39;s useless. She&#39;s just too convenient. For the most of the movie she&#39;s there to be the odd one out (the only black character - get it?) and used to spit out exposition. In the end, despite not being a target (the killer only kills the guilty... except for the two innocent people that were killed), she&#39;s there to keep the killer from getting what the big bad wants and I can&#39;t help but feel that if Dorit wasn&#39;t in the movie at all, the film would have been so much better for it and the ending much more satisfying.

Prey for the Bride

Like most Tubi original movies, this was good, not great, but watchable. A group of friends go away for the weekend to celebrate their friend&#39;s upcoming wedding. Only they all share a dark secret. One by one. They are all stalked by someone in a wolf mask. The first kill was done early, then the movie spends most of its time introducing the rest of the gal pals. To be honest, some of the characters were so awful, that I was rooting for the killer. Now I say characters the actors themselves were good and played their parts well. Did the story hit some cliches? It sure did but it would not be a Tubi original if it didn&#39;t. One good thing though, I really did not see the ending coming. It was a real twist that when you look back, makes sense, It is all there in the title, so to speak. This is a nice little murder mystery with a good twist even if it is light on the kills.

Directed by Danny J. Boyle (My Sister&#39;s Serial Killer Boyfriend) and written by Bryan Dick, Prey for the Bride starts with Jordan (Megan Peta Hill) accepting the proposal of Greg (Brad Harder) and all of their friends celebrating. Unfortunately, someone has started killing those friends and will keep it up for the entire movie. Yes, a slasher about a bachelorette party! Despite the death of their friend Kimi (Maia Mae Fields) that same night, the ladies decide to do a bachelorette party anyway. Brooke (Jacky Lai), April (Lina Lecompte), Dorit (Getenesh Berhe) and Lauren (Marnie Mahannah) go to a remote air BNB to hang out with Jordan and get her ready for the wedding. That&#39;s when it comes out that Jordan had a previous potential husband by the name of Holden who was a total maniac that killed himself in a fire. Or did he? Is he alive and the wolf masked killer who is stalking the ladies and anyone they bring into the house? They even discover that a game they planned to play has been redone so it reveals that all of Jordan&#39;s friends killed Holden to protect her. Will anyone survive? That&#39;s a question you ask in slashers, after all. There are some fine kills, but by and large it&#39;s a basic plot that you may struggle to get through if you&#39;re a slasher elitist. But hey -- I&#39;m all for Tubi Originals and as those go, this was pretty fun.

Prey for the Bride had the potential to deliver a compelling revenge thriller but unfortunately falls short in several key areas. The plot revolves around a masked killer, revealed to be the younger brother of the murdered Holdon, seeking revenge against those responsible for his brother&#39;s death, including four women and the man who played a direct role. With Jordan as his accomplice, the movie sets up a classic tale of vengeance, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired. The film&#39;s biggest weakness lies in its acting. Across the board, performances felt underwhelming, lacking the emotional depth or intensity necessary to elevate the material. Key moments that should have been filled with tension and suspense instead came across as flat and unconvincing. The dialogue, often stilted, didn&#39;t do the actors any favors either, further detracting from the film&#39;s dramatic impact. Moreover, the pacing was uneven, with some scenes dragging unnecessarily, while others-especially crucial moments of revelation-were rushed, leaving little room for character development or audience connection. The direction seemed confused at times, unable to decide if the film wanted to be a slasher, a psychological thriller, or a character-driven drama, resulting in a muddled narrative. Visually, the movie offered nothing particularly memorable or innovative. It lacked the atmosphere and creativity one might expect from a revenge-based horror film. In the end, while the concept of a brother seeking revenge for his sibling&#39;s death is a tried-and-true plotline, Prey for the Bride doesn&#39;t bring anything new or exciting to the table, and the poor execution, especially in the acting department, makes it a forgettable experience.

I&#39;m a huge slasher fan especially from the 80s but it&#39;s a guilty pleasure of mine to find hidden gems in today&#39;s modern slashers. It&#39;s a fun flick and very entertaining. The acting wasn&#39;t half bad and definitely didn&#39;t feel like a low budget slasher. I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll see lots of bad reviews but if you&#39;re like me and easily amused by most slashers, this is a great one to add to your list. The plot was decent and had a huge twist at the end which I didn&#39;t expect. I can usually figure it out pretty quick, but this one got me. Definitely give it a watch if you can&#39;t find anything else to watch. Very entertaining slasher imo.
