**_Backwoods horror with Lyndsi LaRose and Scout Taylor-Compton_** Five women from SoCal travel to a remote hunting cabin for an unorthodox bachelorette party. The filthy cabin is owned by the redneck fiancé of June (Scout Taylor-Compton) and he unexpectedly shows up with several of his hick friends for an unforgettable night. “Bury the Bride” (2023) is cabin-in-the-woods horror helmed by the younger brother of Rob Zombie, Michael David Cummings (aka Spider One), who’s the frontman of the band Powerman 5000. Like his brother, he features his spouse/partner in his movies, which is Krsy Fox (Sadie). Despite the skankiness of Lyndsi LaRose’s character, Carmen, she’s a highlight on the female front; very stunning. Thankfully, Scout Taylor-Compton’s June is more winsome and takes second place. To appreciate this flick, you have to be able to stomach the white-trash-in-the-sticks horror of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and typical Rob Zombie flicks. It combines the cabin-in-the-woods setting with bits of “Deliverance” and films that I can’t name because I don’t want to give anything away. Let’s just say that the surprise at the 38-minute mark works well and there are a few genuine scares, as well as effective spookiness. The movie runs 1 hour, 23 minutes, was shot in Los Angeles.
