Ghost Killers vs. Bloody Mary

I really like brazilian cinema and I felt so happy that after many years we would have a horror movie, a genre that is very rare in our productions which is kind of strange because we are forced to work under very strict budgets. This movie, despite the very bad acting because the main cast are not composed by actors but stand up comedians, is a movie empty of meaning, is just the horror by itself. Crude and disgusting scenes without a good reasoning, there are no metaphores, there are no hidden messages, there are no reflections about anything. Is just a movie about showing gore and disgusting scenes with a political incorrect joke here and there, many very rooted on brazilian culture or based on main cast personal struggles against media also political bias. If you live abroad it very unlikely that you will understand or find it funny on those jokes without a proper context. Assuming that you are fond of this kind of film, go ahead. If you are a fan of good horror movies, stay away. It is a waste of time. And despite the english title, do not get fooled, it is not a movie about Bloody Mary, it is about a popular child's story from a "blond girl that haunts school's restrooms" in Brazil. It is a urban legend somewhat based on the american myth, but it is not the story per se.

Those who are giving it a poor rating probably don't understand this movie was made to be bad. The bad acting, the overreacting, the literal references to other movies, the school clichés, the bad jokes... It's all on purpose, and it's hilarious once you accept it.

Four paranormal investigators, trying to build a following on YouTube, take a job at a high-school that is purportedly being haunted by the vengeful spirit of a young girl known as Bloody Mary (AKA Cotton Girl), who has been summoned by one of the students.

With gags about H.I.V. and Parkinson's Disease, and scenes involving a used condom, a possessed foetus, and a slithering turd, Ghost Killers vs. Bloody Mary is a Brazilian horror comedy that aims for Peter Jackson-style bad taste splatstick, but never achieves that lofty aspiration. There's a fair amount of blood and gloopy fluids to appease gore-hounds, but the comedy simply isn't all that funny, and any goodwill towards the film quickly evaporates.

Sadly, director Fabrício Bittar doesn't know when to quit: the silliness goes on and on, with the evil spirit possessing one person after another ad nauseum, his film becoming very tedious and eventually clocking in at a whopping 103 minutes. There's a meta gag towards the film where one of the characters explains that if they had tried the plan he suggested early on (to repeat the ritual used to summon Bloody Mary, only in reverse), the film would have been twenty minutes long. I wish.

3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.

Brilliantly funny movie, it's cheesy and hilarious. The acting was great and there's some really goofy horiffic moments. It's a great film to purely entertain.

I don't know why users rated IMDB so badly, the film is intentionally bad, trash film, that makes it funny, the fact that nothing makes sense and everything is exaggerated.

Note 10, the film is very funny and I had a lot of fun watching it.
