Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

Joseph P. Ulibas Bride of the Killer Nerd (1992) is a good movie. I was very surprised by how well it was directed and acted. The story follows Harold Kunkle who's literally haunted by ghosts from his past. Poor Harold, he's still plagued by problems that he thought were finished and taken care of in Killer Nerd. All he does is work, sleep and eat. Until one day he finds his soul mate, a female nerd from a local high school. Just when their lives were about to hit rock bottom they found each other. Will this relationship last? That would be telling. Expect some mondo psycho-madness and other strange stuff in this little watched film.Toby Radloff is perfect as the Killer Nerd. Being "America's Biggest Nerd" works in his favor as he reprises his role as Harold Kunkle from Killer Nerd. Despite the very low production values, it's a very entertaining film and it's worth seeking out the Troma disc because it has both films on it and other great stuff from Troma....of course!Recommended.

mermatt This is the sequel to KILLER NERD -- the saga of Harold Kunkle continues. It starts out with a real Hitchcock-Twilight Zone style laugh and ends the same way. The film is the story of two nerds who find love -- a Thoreau and an Emily Dickinson of the 90s, both suicidal and both out for revenge. There is a little bit of Bobbitizing and cannibalism along the way just for fun. The film is quite witty and rather well done for a low-budget independent.
