Highly Overrated But Still Good

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

If people are wanting to make a movie about the story of bloody Mary, they could at least tell the story on its history or something. By the way, the story originated where I live, in Lincoln NE. The house she lived in is no longer there but the location is still there... it is now an archery range for boy scouts. Some people have gone there and experienced creepy things. For other ideas for movies, there supposedly was a witch who use to live in Lincoln.. In wilderness Park in a cabin. She apparently killed children. Locals found out and hung her with a chain on a tree. Then later wrapped her up in the chain and buried her somewhere out in wilderness park. They say her cabin is still out there somewhere, and that if you find a random chain.. do not follow it, because she may be waiting at the other end of it for revenge.

I'd never even heard of "Bloody Mary" till I recently picked up a 4-movie "Horror Collection" DVD that included it along with three other B-Movie wonders for the low, low price of only $5.99. I figured even if only one of the movies on the DVD was any good, then it was worth the money. Well, unfortunately "Bloody Mary" was not very good. It had the potential to be a cool, compact, creepy little ghost story but eventually fell apart due to a blend of bad acting and a confused script that tries to cram in too many unneeded elements into the final act. "Bloody Mary" is more or less a bad blend of bits borrowed from numerous (better) movies, including "Candyman," "The Ring," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," and what the hell, even "Heathers!" Our story begins at a State Psychiatric Hospital, where a group of young nursing students dare one of their group to play "the Mirror Game," in which you descend into the dark tunnels beneath the building, go to a dark room with a mirror in it, and summon the legendary "Bloody Mary," (some sort of malevolent witch/spirit), with the repeated chant "I believe in Bloody Mary, I believe in Bloody Mary." The girl obediently goes down there and performs the ritual, but something unseen snatches her away before she can come back out again. Needless to say, the others have to cover it up and pretend nothing ever happened. We will learn later on that this not the first time they've had to do this; a previous participant in "the game" has gone from being a nurse to a patient in the hospital, after suffering a complete mental breakdown.Eventually the missing girl's sister, a true crime writer/reporter, comes to the hospital and starts poking around, much to the "Mean Girls'" chagrin. She eventually gets to the bottom of the urban legend surrounding "Bloody Mary," but not before a few more people end up victimized and killed by the vengeful spirit. Somewhere in the mix we are introduced to a mysterious, Hannibal Lecter type prisoner who's kept chained up in the bowels of the hospital and seems to be "in on" the Bloody Mary business with the nurses, though who he is and how exactly he fits into the story is never really made clear. For that matter, we never learn exactly what the nurses were hoping to gain by messing with "Bloody Mary" in the first place, either. Oh, and as an extra bonus there's a doctor in the hospital who seems nice enough till he reveals his true self late in the movie, but his subplot has no apparent connection to the rest of the story, therefore the "revelation" comes out of nowhere and makes little sense. Seriously, this movie has way too much going on and it definitely could've used a better editor and/or a continuity guy!! On the "pro" side, even though most of the girls in "Bloody Mary" can't act worth a lick, they're all quite attractive and spend quite a bit of time in various states of undress, which quite frankly was about the only thing keeping me interested as the film became more convoluted. There's a few decent dollops of gore and some nice spooky atmosphere in the "tunnel" scenes, but overall the movie suffers from a cheap, shot-on-video look that gives it the feel of a made-for-TV movie."Bloody Mary" is not quite bad enough to be total crap, but not quite good enough to be a passable horror entry either. Worth a look if it turns up on late night TV as long as you keep your expectations low.

This movie, by no means is a gem for it's acting talent, however some of that is due to poor writing. I mean, let's be honest, it's hard to be convincing and real when the script you're working with isn't real. But the story is fantastic! It's loosely based in fiction enough that the supernatural aspects of the film flow without a hitch. The exposition is well paced so that there is mystery, back story, and the joy of all those puzzle pieces falling together. The production aspect is rockin'. That mirror looks great, and it's creepy but real. Looking at that set, I could believe that that actually exists. I have to say all in all that this movie rocks! This is one of those horror films thats original, and fun. Well made for something independent, and it is fun to watch... grab a bowl of pop corn, and some licorice and plenty of soda and enjoy. Just take it with a grain of salt... and get ready to laugh some :-p

I saw a preview of this movie and thought it looked very good. I watch horror movies quite frequently. This one was absolutely filled with scenes of superfluous naked girls. There was actually a clip of one girl in the shower that had nothing to do with anything. It was just an excuse to show boobs.Second of all - this was some of the worst acting I've ever seen, not to mention completely unrealistic. The way the mental hospital was run just made me laugh. Severely ill mental patients are never left alone to wander the halls, and unqualified teenagers are not hired to work there. The clique of girls was something out of a junior high drama: the bitch, the shy girl, the nice girl, and the one with the boyfriend.It was just garbage. I can't believe anyone would like it.
