Urban Legends - Bloody Mary (2005)

From director Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary, The In Crowd), the terrifying Urban Legend trilogy comes full circle with URBAN LEGENDS: BLOODY MARY, delivering enough hair-raising scares to rival The Grudge and The Ring. On a prom-night dare, a trio of high-school friends chant an incantation, unleashing an evil spirit from the past with deadly consequences. That same night, the girls are abducted by a gang of high-school jocks. Once rescued, their tormentors receive their just desserts, dying one by one in a chain reaction of gruesome murders, each with a bizarre "Urban Legend" twist. Is it all just a high-school prank taken to grisly extremes - or has "Bloody Mary" returned from the grave to wreak her own vengeance?

Power to the people?

Haha, this movie was a joke right?! OK, if not it's pretty darn foolish. You have the dead looking for revenge thing and it just doesn't work. The degrees of scare and gore are taken over by jokes that AREN'T laugh worthy and worthless nudity. I'd recommend Dead Mary instead. February 18, 2008

Some Legends Can't Be Buried

"Bloody Mary" is the third installment of the Urban Legend series of films, and it is loaded with twists and scares. Although not quite as scary as the first two movies of the trilogy, "Bloody Mary" has plenty of hair-raising scares of its own.

The movie begins in 1969. Mary Banner (Lillith Fields) and three of her friends are attending the homecoming dance with their dates. As the evening wears on, the guys slip something into the girls' punch. However, Mary doesn't drink hers. The guys try to drag the groggy girls into a car, but Mary sees what's happening and runs. Chased by her date, she is cornered in the electrical room of the school gym. A fight breaks out between Mary and her date, and Mary ends up falling and hitting her head. Thinking that Mary's dead, her date puts her in a locked box and leaves her.

The movie then proceeds ahead 35 years. Samantha Owens (Kate Mara) and her friends Gina (Haley McCormick) and Mindy (Olesya Rulin) are having a slumber party. The girls have been "blacklisted" by members of the football team because of an article written by Sam about jocks squeaking by in school and receiving credit for football. The girls begin talking about urban legends; namely, "Bloody Mary". The legend says that if someone says her name three times, she'll appear in a mirror. The girls try it out, but nothing happens: yet. The guys are out for revenge and "kidnap" the girls and lock them in an abandoned building; much like 35 years ago. However, this time, everyone survives.

But, the legend of "Bloody Mary" has been awakened, and soon, students are dropping like flies at school. One is killed by a swarm of spiders; another as a vending machine falls on him. Many of the students suspect that Sam and her brother David (Robert Vito) are responsible for the killings. Is it Sam, or is it "Bloody Mary" who has come to seek her revenge?

Despite some negative reviews, I found this movie to be quite good. I thought the story about "Bloody Mary" was well-conceived, and there is plenty of blood and guts to go around. The best scene of the movie is the one where the spiders crawl out of the girl's face.

I recommend this movie to people who have seen the other movies in the series and fans of horror movies alike. You don't necessarily need to watch parts I and II before watching this one, as they are not really related. If you like scary movies, then don't miss "Bloody Mary". October 16, 2007

Bloody Awful

Terrible, just terrible. If you even need me to go into detail about how awful this movie is, then you've got too much time on your hands. I'm not wasting my time.

Thumbs way down. October 15, 2007

Not bad at all

My 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. August 21, 2007
