Corpse-Pale Lover & Monster Bride: A B-Movie Ride
19 Mar
Summary
- A burial attendant reanimates her drowned lover's sister.
- The film features a unique scratch-and-sniff gimmick.
- Director Grace Glowicki stars as the lead character.
Grace Glowicki's sophomore feature, "Dead Lover," offers a darkly comical B-movie fantasia with a "Bride of Frankenstein" twist. Glowicki stars as the Gravedigger, a pale, lovesick attendant who attempts to regenerate her drowned lover's sister into an undead bride.
The film’s style and screenplay, co-written by Glowicki and Ben Petrie, evoke avant-garde cinema, embracing doomed romance and queer themes. While aiming for literary camp, the effort is described as too frenzied, yet Glowicki is commended for tackling oddball characters.
A unique "Stink-O-Vision" scratch-and-sniff gimmick, featuring ten scents matched to on-screen moments, accompanies the film in select theaters. This playful audience participation echoes John Waters' "Polyester" 45 years prior, adding another layer to the cinematic experience.
