At the age of 74, Claude Chabrol has been making creepy little tales of violence among the French bourgeoisie for so long that he could probably turn them out in his sleep. "The Bridesmaid" doesn't suggest he's dozing at the switch, but it's deceptively minor Chabrol: a horror show whose subtleties at first appear merely sedate and that ends before you expect it to. The film lingers, though, like police tape at a crime scene.
