Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary is about a group of psychiatric hospital nurses that play the "mirror game" as part of their intitation for new members of the crew.

The mirror game or Bloody Mary game is a similar concept to "Candyman". You say the entity's name in the mirror multiple times it makes itself known.

When one of the nurses from the hospital falls victim to Mary, her older sister comes around to search for her sibling. As far as the authorities are concerned it's simply a case of a missing person. The people who know what's going on don't dare speak of what's really happening.

There's one gal in the group that the mysterious Mary has a hold over. Another one of the girls comes clean with the older sister with her unbelievable tale.

They set out to find out who Mary really is and get to the bottom of what's going on.

Bloody Mary isn't a particularly good movie. It's kind of mid-level. Running at 93 minutes, the film would have benefited from being trimmed down a bit more to tighten the pacing. The film actually starts off pretty good, but after a short while it starts to drag. If they would have cut this down to around 70 minutes they might have had a better film.

After diving through the $3.00 DVD bin at Biglots, I discovered this 'gem'. I have to say having lived through the gore-fest of the 80s and loving every moment of it... this movie is flat. The female lead can't act, the 'cop' can't act. The head of the institution can't act... see the trend? Extreme lighting and scary music are not enough to pull a viewer into caring about what happens to the characters. The movie "FROGS" had better character actors.

Back in the day, you'd see the fingers go in and pull the eyes out, now it's just a camera cut, some blood splatter, and then a cut back post fact. The horror has left the decade.

Like most of the direct to video horror movies these days. It's just an excuse to get girls topless. No style, no class, no budget.

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 guess this movie is OK.it isn't scary,but it does have a creepiness vibe going at times.it's low budget,and it has a gritty look to it.there's not a lot of realism in this movie.by that,i don't mean the supernatural ghostly aspect,because of course that is far fetched(at least i hope so).rather,the lack of realism is in how the characters behave.it just doesn't ring true.at least,i don't think so.i didn't find a problem with the acting.i mean,it wasn't stellar,but i've seen a lot worse.if you're a gore hound,this movie should satisfy you.there's lots of blood,though the movie isn't as graphic as it could have been.there's a fair amount of nudity,some of it pointless.well,all of it, really.and if you're looking for originality,you might want to look elsewhere.this movie has been done before,and the setting is nothing new.overall,i guess i'm indifferent to the movie.as a result,i give Bloody Mary a 5/10

I tried to go in watching the movie with as much unbiased attitude as I can (considering this sounded like a rehash of Candyman meets the Ring this was not easy). Imagine my surprise when I found myself engrossed in an extremely well done horror film! I was never bored for one second, and there were quite a few times I was genuinely scared. This says a lot. In fact I think I enjoyed this film more than some of the big budget horror films of recent years.

The team did a really impressive job of working with an unknown case with a very limited budget. The acting caliber was very high and the special effects were used sparingly but effectively.

No, this is not 'reinventing the genre'. It is just a nice little film that is eerie, has an interesting plot, decent acting and some real good scares.
