| User ReviewRobin WIt's so f***ed up, but awesome at the same time. |
| User ReviewJosh MThe moral of this story? Don't murder people and marry little girls or a dwarf will kill you. |
| User ReviewChristopher SI liked this film for its cinematography and its director |
| User ReviewAnthony WA young professional couple seek to educate and legally abolish the practice of men marrying girls. |
| User ReviewKeenan SChild Bride, touches critical issue of underage girls, given into marriage to elderly men. It's also controversial film for partially showing naked underage girl (played by Shirley Mills - who would play Ruth Joad in John Ford's masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath in 1939). It's slow building film, you won't repent if you didn't watch it (actually). |
| User ReviewJeff RSo wonderfully bad. Horrid filmmaking, but really compelling in that train-wreck sort of way. |
| User ReviewSlothbear TNow THIS is a doozy. You may want to wretch after this one, you may be bawling your eyes out from laughter, I dunno. I had mixed feelings from this one. Best part is this character who runs around and punches everyone in the face. He rules. |
| User ReviewEdith NBasically an exploitation flick staring a young girl who starts the movie wearing very suggestive clothing, an unbuttoned dress which is cut too short in the back. The movie does have some funny hillbilly moments. |
| User ReviewBruce BAnother Movie from Weird Cinema 15 Freaky Flicks Collection. This collection of movies is at a pretty high price on Amazon. I had the pleasure of renting it from Netflix. This one Child Bride tells the story of Children in the Deep South in Mountain areas being married off at a young age, under 16. Even a short nudity scene at the lake in this one. A film to shame the southern at the view of a Yankee. Some funny scenes, almost a midget toss, and movie comes to abrupt end, who killed the child bride's husband? 2 stars |
| User ReviewBlobbo BShould I be depressed now that I've seen this? |
