Celluloid Verdict
A fizzy, visually lavish supernatural mystery — critics were split on its soapy tonal shifts but charmed by its Peranakan setting, production design and the sheer novelty of its ghost-marriage premise.

Critic Reviews
The Ghost Bride (2020) Review: Lavish Afterlife Noir
★★★½☆
The Ghost Bride is a six-episode Mandarin fantasy mystery set in 1890s Malacca, where a young woman refuses a marriage to a dead man. Gorgeous, if tonally uneven.
Mostly yes. A striking, short supernatural mystery for viewers drawn to folklore and period design, provided soapy swings in tone do not put you off.
