Bloody Mary

As reviews have pointed out, this film opens in the year 1904, as two women Mary Worth (Veronica Ricci) and a another woman get down to some steamy lengthy explicit scene. The scene quickly follows after them being interrupted by Mary's husband, who grabs a knife and punishes them for their sins. He wastes no time in doing so. And as this occurs, we get a sense to how low budget the kills and lack of effort shown will be.

Described as a horror film but it's too low budget and terribly acted that it's hard to take serious. The kills are and it's reactions are obvious here.

Most of the movie takes place at a music studio for a pop star filming a music video. There are a bunch of one dimensional characters coming along as each one end up getting killer (by silly looking stabs) by Mary. A lot of talking with no substance as the scenes are simply there to pass time.

There are no real thrills, no suspense and nothing exactly memorable happens. What is silly is how none of the characters weren't able to simply just kill or attack Mary. She would occasionally appear through the mirrors (urban tale of saying "Bloody Mary" three times) and randomly pop up, but once she is there, no one did anything to her. She simply had a knife. In the end it's simply a weak low budget film.

Nothing can save this terrible movie. Not even the very attractive eye candy in the opening scene, which somehow still holds back. The acting is bad, the script is worse and the best thing that can be said is that when one thinks they watched a really bad movie, seeing this makes one realize that wasn't so bad in comparison. Mary Worth is murdered by her religious fanatic husband when she was caught in bed with another woman, who is also murdered. It was in 1904. With her dying words, she curses him. And naturally she can be summoned,which is what happens. And is the basis for this movie. And truly one does not care what happens to those in her path.

A rating of 2 is really being generous.

How to begin a horror film? A gratuitously lengthy steamy session of naked lesbian sex in 1904? When hubby comes home unexpectedly and catches wifey at it...how many redblooded males have fantasised about this sort of thing, especially with a stunningly attractive blonde and redhead? But not this guy, instead of joining in, he murders them both. Fast forward to the present day, and the plot is revealed. This is actually a well-known urban legend, that of Bloody Mary. Call her name when you stand in front of the mirror, and if you give the wrong reaction when she appears, it's curtains.

It's also very silly, but if you don't mind a bit of blood, the naked Mary is looking remarkably fit considering she's been dead for over a century. What else is there to recommend it? Well, the soundtrack is not bad, nor are some of the one-liners, like: "We needed something quick and cheap; for some reason I thought of you".

Now I actually "Like" a bad film. Some people would probably go so far to say I enjoy a REALLY terrible film. However from the opening "flabberghastingly" terrible opening scene (which leads to some of the most uninspired use of Modul8's transformer effect (seriously strap yourself in for the "music video" in around 15 minutes (or skip forwards that much))). However, https://www.facebook.com/bloodymary3d brings "movies" to an altogether new low. A zero.

I've no idea how this ever got past the stoned conversation stage. Maybe its based upon state dependent memory?

Acting? From the opening (terrible) lesbian scene, to the sterling performance from "Robert?" it looks like the entire cast took method acting lessons from Pinnoccio for six months prior to filming started.

The Motion template used for the opening credits is set perfectly to what can only be described as a low bitrate rendition of some post punk warble too.

Seriously, fifteen minutes in and the stunning use of Modul8 for "the music video" has simply taken my sense of wonder away.

I could go on ... However I'm not entirely sure I'd not go postal trying to get through the next hour and five minutes ....

Help?

There are approximately 171,476 words in the english language. None of them, and I mean NONE of them combined into sentences and paragraphs could articulate how deeply and passionately I hate this garbage. Why was this made? It is beyond laughably bad. It was like watching a car accident in slow motion, it was slow with no real pacing, and I couldn't look away.
