Too much of everything

One of my all time favorites.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Reappearing at school after a prank, a teen begins to suspect that the exceptionally strange kills and incidents surrounding her classmates are tied into a local legend similar to her encounter and finds the ghost of the woman is responsible forcing her to stop it.This here wasn't all that bad of a sequel. One thing it has going for it is that this one really has a lot of fun playing with its supernatural overtones which allows for some great scenes in here. A lot of this is due to the supernatural haunting-based attacks that occur in here which are quite chilling when based on the method of kills utilized to get the point across. The main scene involved with this is the attack in the bedroom, where the pajama-clad victim pops a zit, giving birth to a multitude of supernatural spiders from the wound and crawling over the bloodied body in a disturbing visual as she cuts away at herself in a particularly brutal fashion scores wonderfully, the motel assault is really chilling realizing that someone's in there and. Likewise, the few small indicators of the ghosts' background are quite fun with the flashes of her buried in the school as well as her dream of it being locked in the chest and crawling out for it being just as creepy and chilling as the other main attacks. This is mainly due to the ghost itself which is quite chilling, appearing with some nice facial distortions, creepy eyes and the wounds across the face making it pretty imposing while the flash lighting and quick moments leave it with a fine overall villain. As well, the curse that comes into play is quite nice with the ongoing mystery about her rampage and forcing the fun of the cemetery finale all makes for some good times to help hold off the few flaws with it. The most obvious one is that the really big, brutal deaths aren't based on urban legends and seem just thrown in for no real reason. The film's gimmick is that the kills are based around urban legends, yet neither being repeatedly stabbed in the chest with a broken beer bottle or urinating on an electrified fence and being shocked are real urban legends which doesn't have anything to do with anything making the whole purpose of the exercise quite fruitless. Another big flaw is that the film has a really convoluted opening. There's no reason for there to be as many different angles and ideas thrown in, making it overwritten and convoluted. There's way too much going on to really get a handle of it all, and it makes the beginning really hard to get into. The last really big flaw is the jerk-cutting done in the attack scenes. This happens quite often, where it flashes in a series of scenes so fast that it's impossible to tell what's going on for the intention of getting some creepy images in, but they just ruin it by going too fast. This happens during most of the scenes, and becomes distracting. A minor flaw is the thoroughly underwhelming hot-tub scene, but it isn't as bad as the other flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and drug use.

I didn't know it at the time but it's apparently the third movie in the Urban Legends series. It has no links to the others. This felt like a lower-budget Final Destination with attempts at original-looking kills. The "originality" comes from the deaths looking like they're urban legends actually happening. I will admit that the scene involving the mirror and spiders was very creepy and effective, even gruesome. The other urban legends weren't so memorable, and a few were actually amusing (not necessarily a bad thing). Bloody Mary herself was not really scary to me, even sometimes looking ludicrous. If the rest of the horror had been to the level of the mirror scene, it would have been a much stronger movie. I was surprised at how good the lead actors playing brother and sister were. They looked their age and were believable. Not so much for everyone especially the big blonde jock with the kid haircut. I saw the "surprise" coming a while away and the whole last act was kind of boring and felt too long.Rating: 4.5 out of 10 (Average)

Urban Legends 3: Bloody Mary was not a good movie. It wasn't terrible, and it was definitely watchable, but it didn't really accomplish anything. It was a very average "who's the killer" movie tied in with some supernatural edge. Unfortunately the production quality is laughable and it looks like it was made at a high school by students. It seems like an average bad horror movie but then it keeps reminding you that it's cheap and just not a good movie. I hate being overly blunt, but no one will watch this movie and enjoy it. The only thing the movie does well is pace. It is constantly killing off characters while the (simple) story builds. So many decent horror movies under perform because they build too much story. There needs to be some action to keep the audience glued in (a la Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

Samantha Owens is the editor of the high school newspaper and was blacklisted with her two friends, Gina and Mindy, by the football players after an article about them, so they do not go to a high school party.Samantha tells to the other girls an urban legend told by her mother: in 1969, in Salt Lake City, the two girlfriends of Mary Banner are drugged by their dates in a prom, but she understands the situation and runs from her date, who kills her and hide her body in a trunk in the basement of the school.Along the night, the three girls are drugged and kidnapped in a prank of the players, but Samantha has visions and premonitions about Mary.When her school mates are killed, Mary visits Grace Taylor, one of the girls abused in 1969, and finds that the victims are the descendants of the trio that killed Mary......Had very low expectations after the disaster that was the second movie. But sometimes, these direct to DVD sequels have a knack of being pretty good and making you wish there were more instalments.There is nothing original about the film, and the makers even steal deaths from other movies (the sun-bed scene is straight from FD3), and the hotel scene and Mary are reminiscent of The Ring and Samara.But one cannot help to enjoy the film. Who cannot enjoy three girls having a pillow fight, mocking each other, and then being abducted, it makes no sense to the narrative, but, the film works.There is a twist at the end, but it's nothing special, and adds nothing to the film.Aside from that, it's a throwaway movie which does it's job
