ShangLuda Admirable film.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Leofwine_draca BRIDE OF KILLER NERD is the inevitable follow-up to KILLER NERD, the title referencing THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Sadly, even by Troma standards these two films aren't any good at all. They're shot on video black comedies in which geeky characters are celebrated and turn the tables on the bullies who oppress them in various silly ways.Imagine THE TOXIC AVENGER without the main character becoming a toxic superhero and you'll see how these films are. The production values are rock bottom, the humour is forced and unfunny, and there really is no reason to watch a bunch of characters mumbling their way through meaningless dialogue - unless you're a glutton for punishment.

Woodyanders Terminally dorky oddball Harold Kunkle (the singular Toby Radloff in stellar spazzoid form) finds a soul mate in the form of sweet nerdette Thelma (a winningly gawky portrayal by Heidi Lohr). This daffy duo of dweebs join forces to fight back against those cruel folks who mercilessly persecute them for being different. Writers/directors Mark Steven Bosko and Wayne Alan Harold bring a much darker and more mean-spirited tone to this follow-up to the enjoyable original: The violence committed by the geeky leads manages to be quite gruesome and nasty, with an inspired parody of the famous "Psycho" shower scene and an especially brutal castration rating as the definite harsh highlights. Once again, Radloff's distinctly idiosyncratic presence keeps the picture afloat. Moreover, the romance between our two socially maladjusted misfits possesses a certain innocent off-kilter charm while their savage killing spree is very startling and ferocious, with Thelma's grotesque white clown make-up making for a genuinely creepy sight to behold. The rough cinematography by Alan Stevens boasts a few nifty stylistic flourishes. Sean Carlin's funky bumping score does the right-on groovy trick. Good twisted fun.

movieman_kev Harold Kunkle finds a girlfriend in the second installment of the Killer Nerd saga. Less entertaining then even the dubious value of the first film. Does pick up a tad towards the ending, but not nearly enough. The punchline being the girl nerd is more blood-thirsty then Harold I guess. Also, (and this is nether here, nor there) but I thought it strange that a black guy is invited to the party, when everyone obviously hates him and ridicules him. *shrugs*My Grade: D-Troma DVD Extras: Intro by Lloyd Kaufman featuring gratuitous nudity; Commentary with Toby Radloff and director Wayne Alan Harold; Interview with Toby; Toby and Lloyd Kaufman in Akron, ohio; Purple Pam music video; 2 PSA's; Trailers for "Citizen Toxie", "Tales from the Crapper" and "Suicide"; Shameless plugs for Lloyd's book and website (comes in a double-feature with "Killer Nerd")Eye Candy: Rachel (Mimsel Dendak) gets topless in a shower scene

Richard Kampa Bride Of Killer Nerd is to Killer Nerd as Bride Of Frankenstein is to Frankenstein: a sequel that improves on the original. Harold meets Thelma, the ultimate female nerd, and they fall in love. After being thoroughly humiliated, they embark on a killing rampage even more over-the-top than Harold's spree in the first film. As an added treat, there is a party sequence with a really rocking band plus a nicely done homage to Alfred Hitchcock. A dandy of a low budget black comedy/horror flick. Filmed in the Cleveland area with a wonderful abundance of bad taste. I loved it!
