I often see the suggestion that Requiem For A Dream should be shown in schools to discourage students from using drugs. The idea is that because the movie shows very graphic examples of horrible consequences, it will scare kids from every trying them. If there was a way to identify potential serial killers, Capture Kill Release might be the equivelant film to turn them away. There are some pretty graphic moments that would probably weed out anyone who doesn't have a strong stomach. The main characters start out excited at the idea of murder, but they are shown going through mounting difficulties as the story progresses. On top of that, there's an incredible amount of work they have to do. Housecleaning is so draining, I often split it into multiple days. You can't do that in the situations shown in Capture Kill Release. Once you start that process, you're all in, so you better hope your energy holds up. I've never had thoughts of harming someone, but after watching this, I REALLY can't see why anyone would choose to put themself through it. At the very least, you'd be giving up your entire weekend, and if something goes awry? You'd better hope you have some vacation time saved up, because you aren't making it in to work tomorrow. Is that really how you want to use up your personal days? Think about it.

Like a lot of people, I enjoy this movie even more than the first Frankenstein film. Great as it is, I like the story of this follow up better, and I think it has more great moments. The highly quotable lines the monster gets this time around are enough--for me-- to elevate Bride over the first movie. The tone is more comedic, and there are fewer moments that viwers would probably find creepy, but the stakes feel higher with the introduction of Dr. Pretorius. His refusal to take no for an answer means that Henry Frankenstein and his family are in more danger this time. On top of that, the monster gets some extremely empathetic moments that are very effective, even compared to the amazing performance in the origial. There are some campy moments that will be way too silly for many viewers, but Bride of Frankenstein is still in my top 5 horror movies of all time.
