A runaway bride is in for the night…and fight of her life in this action packed horror-comedy from the director of The Call and the creator of Final Destination.

A bride is getting ready to marry the love of her life. However, she soon has cold feet and decides to not go through with it. When she informs her fiance that she has no plans to marry and wants out, he is none too pleased. However, when his best man finds out where she is located, he tells him and the rest of the groomsmen to wait there and make sure she stays there until he gets there. The groomsmen have other plans though.

When one of them confronts the bride, a fight breaks out and the bride shows she has a deadly set of skills. She soon begins to take down the groomsmen one by one. As she comes closer to confronting the best man, she begins to remember events from her past that have led to this moment. If she wants out, she has to fight her way out and will go to any lengths to accomplish her personal mission.

Ready or Not. Kill Bill. Violent Night. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Yes, these films have to be mentioned because in one way or another, this horror-comedy is filled with elements inspired by these films with an excellent script by the duo of Chad Law and Shane Dax Taylor. As if that’s not bad enough, we have a star in the making and her name is Natalie Burn! 

Burn, who has both a dance background as well as a martial arts background, is excellent as The Bride (no, not Beatrix Kiddo), who finds herself in a dire situation and will go to any lengths to get her freedom. When she finds herself confronted by the seven groomsmen, they are tasked with just waiting for her to come out and explain themselves. However, in a shocking twist, we learn that they, along with the Bride, are skilled in military skills as they were all enrolled in “The University”, a secret organization known to train mercenaries. 

The groomsmen are quite a bunch themselves. It is clear that Cam Gigandet is having fun with his role as The Best Man, going a bit over the top at times and enjoying music while we see The Bride kick some serious butt against the henchmen. Not only is Gigandet somewhat of a comic relief, but Pancho Moler’s T-Bone is also funny as he is a little person who wants to go toe-to-toe with the Bride only to get a specific trope in the side kick that sends him flying towards boxes. One of the best fights is that between Burn and groomsman D.Y. Sao, who also serves as the film’s fight choreographer with martial arts champion turned stunt ace Arnold Chon as stunt coordinator. Oh, and it should be mentioned that Burn is doing all of her fight scenes in a wedding dress!!! 

There are also flashback scenes involving the Bride and the Groom, played by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’s Ser’Darius Blain, befriending a couple while on vacation with the husband played by Jason Patric talking about living life and how one day changed his life forever, which serves as a catalyst for the Bride’s decision. 

Til Death Do Us Part is an amazing horror-action-comedy that could just make an instant star out of Natalie Burn. She is phenomenal in her fight scenes and Cam Gigandet is great as an over-the-top Best Man.
