DVD : Urban Legends - Bloody Mary |
- Not bad at allMy girlfriend and I enjoyed this movie. We didn't think it was bad considering the negative reviews. It was better than # 2. Rent first if your worried. Just think of it as a good horror movie and not a sequel (kind of like Halloween 3). Also if your scared of spiders DO NOT WATCH.

- bloody maryI love horror movies and I have to admit, Bloody Mary is an urban legend that always terrified me. So I had to see this movie.
Honestly, it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It was so cheesy and the acting was absolutly terrible. I don't know if I have ever laughed so hard.
So even though I got a good laugh I was extremely disappointed. I was really looking forward to a good horror movie.

- Just an Ordinary Horror FilmThe "Urban Legends" franchise still goes on, with the latest entry featuring the "legend" of "Bloody Mary." According to this film directed by Mary Lambert (known for her two "Pet Semetary" films), the titular Mary really existed in 1969, who is supposedly killed late at night ... well, sort of. Cue to a bunch of high school students, some of whom chants her name three times in the dark room unwittingly to awaken the vengeful dead girl. And they start to be killed in a weird fashion one after another.
As you know, this urban legend was a famous one, previously used in such films as the 1992 horror film "Candyman" (to which Lambert's film refers briefly). Unfortunately, "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary" does not know what it really wants to do. Except for some scenes involving spiders, the film is not creepy enough. It also awkwardly attempts to inject some dark humor into the story, but the film is not just funny, especially after watching more gruesome "Final Destinations" series.
The mysteries of Bloody Mary and her death are not interesting, and the truths about it are predictable for most horror film fans. Not that "Urban Legends: Bloody Mary" is a terrible film, but after all, except for the "Mary" part, this film has little to do with urban legends, and is just an ordinary horror film.

- Dissapointing The "Urban Legend" franchise has been pretty steady for the past couple of years. I just don't understand why this movie was made. It shifts from the slasher feel of the previous two movies and delves into a more supernatural focus. The film is pretty bad. I'm definitely a huge fan of horror movies and it doesn't take a lot to impress me but this was just mediocre.
The acting is extremely sub-par and this is especially disappointing because Kate Mara is in the cast. She delivered some pretty good roles in "Nip/Tuck" and "Jack & Bobby" but she goes through this movie, along with the rest of the actors in an incoherent storyline that shifts from scene to scene with no depth. It's hard to care about the characters at all. They just float around with seemingly no purpose. I even almost quit watching the movie halfway but being the avid horror fan I am, I had to continue.
There is only one really cool death scene that gave this movie 1 star. It involves a pretty girl and a spider. Most of the rest of the death scenes are just retreads of urban legends the characters talked about in the past two movies. The film even has a cameo scene from "Final Cut" in which a character is watching a porn on the TV.
Overall, not even worth a rental. Luckily for me, I didn't have to waste 3 bucks because it was available for free on my Comcast ON Demand.

- Well DoneBeing a teenager I have grown up watching the Urban Legend movies. I saw the first one and thought it was alright. The second wasn't very good. Bloody Mary for me was very enjoyable. The movie brought something knew to the table. The title "Urban Legend: Bloody Mary" is a mystery to me of why it was chosen. This movie is very much unlike the others and the creators probaly just put Urban Legend in the title to bring more attention towards it. The deaths in the movie are very cool and the acting is not too bad either. The story was somewhat predictable but kept me watching. Overall a good straight to video movie and for how cheap it is, I'd reccomend you buy it.
