Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary

Ben Ryder (David Young) is hitchhiking across Mexico when he meets Mary (Cristina Ferrare) at an abandoned house on a dark 'n stormy night. The two hit it off and begin travelling together. But Ben doesn't know about Mary's insatiable need to drink blood, which leaves a path of corpses in its wake. Grabbed this one randomly to watch and it was pretty good. It can never live up to its amazing theatrical artwork, but what film could live up to that poster? One of the most interesting aspects of it is that it shot in Mexico. That doesn't really matter for the first hour or so, but toward the end director Juan Lopez Moctezuma starts to use the Mexico setting better. Especially good is a section in a Mexican parade where Mary is attacked by a stranger. The stranger is played by John Carradine and his face is cover 90% of the time, allowing the filmmakers to do lots of Lugosi/Plan 9 moments with the character. Also good is a chase in the finale the ends in a barren area that is perfect for the downbeat ending.
