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.

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.

By the summary quote I mean that this film is not a stellar piece of cinema, but merely serviceable. Much like Candyman, if a person stands in front of a mirror and utters the name of Bloody Mary - actually saying "I believe in Bloody Mary" - a number of times, then the titled hag makes her appearance. Rather then a man with a hook for a hand, Bloody Mary is ten times scarier than Tony Todd - without the deep, hollow voice, mind you.Director Richard Valentine obviously has a sense for frights, as he uses lighting and creepy makeup effects to administer fear. Bloody Mary was scary throughout, much creepier than Candyman, and Valentine is the person to laud for this.The story centers on an asylum where a beautiful nameless woman (Bloody Mary) was beaten and escaped from several decades ago. In the present time, a group of nurses play the game of Bloody Mary with one becoming obsessed with the charade while the others girls grow weary. When Jessica Lous is attacked by Bloody Mary and subsequently labeled as missing, her sister Kim Tyler begins her own investigation.VIOLENCE: $$$ (There is plenty of violence in this film, but not of the gratuitous variety. Bloody Mary has a thing for gouging out a person's eyes, and Valentine shows us this on several occasions - although not on par with the terrible and tasteless stuff of Eli Roth).NUDITY: $$$$ (Although the gore isn't of the gratuitous variety, the nudity sure is. When a girl calls on Bloody Mary in the mirror, she must be stark naked in the process. This plot detail allows the viewer looks at Jessica Lous and Danni Hamilton. Actress/producer Kim Tyler steps out of a shower for no other reason but for a shot of breasts. There is even a backside shot of a male artist who gets killed by Bloody Mary, while he paints in the buff).STORY: $$ (The weakest part of this film is the story. The way the asylum is operated was handled quite weakly by Valentine. The dialogue wasn't very good either and the character building wasn't very strong. Valentine failed to create a character that we could pull for, as Kim Tyler was hard to like).ACTING: $$ (Not very strong either. Valentine's direction is the saving grace to this film, but Danni Hamilton shows promise as an up and coming actress. She clearly outshines the rest of the cast with her demented-deceiving character. The two actor/producers, Kim Tyler and Matt Borlenghi, aren't that great of thespians. Jessica Lous did an adequate job as the naive little sister of Kim Tyler's character, but she was the first to die at the hands of Bloody Mary).

Bloody Mary (2006)easily the best horror film in the last couple of years. no hype around it, fraction of a decent budget, but truly scary and definitely outperforming bigger budget features of the recent releases. not necessarily very original in the choice of monster/scare factor, the film has plenty of little terrifying things that will make you jump up in your seat quite a few times. solid cast (thankgawd no familiar faces), confident directing, decent and justified editing, good soundtrack - overall I just loved it, may even watch it again and absolutely recommend it to any fans of the genre.respect to the makers. we need more stuff like this - done professionally.
