Ryan has been plagued with nightmares since the night his sister Amy went missing 8 years earlier after playing the game "Bloody Mary." Amy had stumbled onto a website on the Internet (www.marked4mary.com) about a witch called Bloody Mary and a game to summon her evil spirit. Now a senior in college, Ryan is reaching a mental breaking point from the years of stress and guilt from his sisters disappearance. His girlfriend Rachel frustrated herself at Ryan's emotional distance and self pity, calls for help to a former professor of Ryan's, Father O'Neal. Father O'Neal is both a priest and a archaeologist who decides to help Ryan end his tormenting grief by using his detective skills and wit to figure out what exactly happened to Ryan's sister, and uncover the truth to the Legend of Bloody Mary

The Legend of Bloody Mary Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Eric Curto I just watched this film a few days ago on Netflix, as it is going off there soon. The story presented here is actually pretty good, it has a similarity to Candyman, but Candyman was inspired partly by the Bloody Mary story, so perhaps its only natural. That's the good, the bad is all over the rest of this film. This film feels like it was meant to be a short film and than they got a little extra money and had to fill in the time slot. The acting is on a lower level than Troma acting, even Ed Wood directed better actors. The ADR seems to very off, its not something I usually pay much attention too, not really need to pay attention, but it seems like the boom mic operator must have had trouble keeping it steady, cause the dialogue is very clear at times and than very distant sounding. The weakest part of the film is the camera work, now normally directors film a scene, than after getting it right they film the scene again for coverage, obviously this cost money and perhaps they didn't have the budget, but was the cameraman asleep or did something sexy walk by and make him not pay attention? I mean there are several scenes of exposition where the camera begins to film the shoulders or chest of the speaker, sometimes they only film the eyes or forehead, it is a real mess. No offense to the filmmakers if they happen o read this, as its not easy to make a film(its easier to get a film released, than to actually make a proper film), but I hope if they do see this they will try again at this film, as it has potential if done correctly 1 out of 5
IMDBer100575 I watched this as a way to get into the Halloween spirit. It's Bloody Mary, so it should be exciting. And for the most part, it was.The acting in this movie has a lot of room for improvement. The script and dialogue of this movie would be good if they hired better actors. Even the two main characters were poorly acted. The whole cast gets a 3 out of 10 for their acting ability.The atmosphere of this movie is also pretty terrible. The attempt at old English speech was pathetic. The use of rock music did not fit anywhere into this plot. Why did they use rock music when they could have used Gothic, dark music? This to me was a total mood killer in the movie. There were so many things wrong with the moods and settings of this movie.There were some good points in the movie and that is that it got me emotional at points. I really got angry at Ashley and Nicole. Ashley, though her acting needs improvement, did get me upset at how pushy she was in wanting her friends to play the game. And I did feel sorry for Mary Worth. I actually wanted her to win and kill everybody.One last negative comment about this movie. The little twist at the end of the movie, where Mary is still alive...that was extremely weak. They should have left that out entirely and just end the movie on a good note, or the writers should've coughed up money for some better weed for brainpower to write a better twist.This script had so much potential but the director or whoever is in charge of scene-control, plot development, and such...really messed it up. Such a shame to see a good idea poorly executed.If you DO NOT like urban legends, this movie is not for you. Even if you like urban legends, this movie is still NOT for you. If you happen to catch this on cable TV, surf around and try to find something better to watch. If there's not, go do some PvP in World of Warcraft for a few hours until there's something good on TV. :)
michaeldouglas1 Like other posters, I've long regarded the Mary Worth legend as worthy of the cinema. But like it's predecessors, this movie can't cut it. Poor acting, poor CGI, incomprehensible screenplay, lousy camera work that tries so hard to be "artsy", but comes off as annoying.The plot jumps around so often from past to present that it really gets confusing. At least the 1600's scenes are recognizable as such, but the "modern" plot line is very hard to follow -- there's two subplots playing almost simultaneously: the "present day" scenes of the "hero", then scenes of the Mary Worth game that started all the unpleasantness several years earlier. The director volleys us back and forth faster than a tennis game. And the worst of it is that we get no real set-up of these characters; new people keep popping up without any explanation of who they are, and frankly, the actresses in both subplots are so uniformly forgettable that one can't help but get them mixed up! Then there are a couple strange musical interludes played over montages, which deflate any tension faster than the air going out of a tire. Was this a homage to cheap Seventies message films? We're treated to an excruciatingly dull scene in a café between the hero and the priest where they sit there staring at each other for five minutes, barely saying a word. Oh, and then we get some boring scenes of the priest driving around in his car. ZZZZZZZZZZ After all this muck, the climax of the film turns out to be very pedestrian, indeed. Mary Worth gets banished fairly easily for a spirit who's been making trouble for 300 years. But is she banished? Apparently not, because the director couldn't resist the usual "shocker" ending we've all come to expect in such schlock. Ho hum.Guess we moviegoers will have to wait a while longer to get a decent treatment of the Mary Worth legend.
joemamaohio Yet another film on the 'history' of Bloody Mary...this one follows Ryan (Paul Preiss)as he tries to come to terms with what happened to his older sister Amy (Rachel Taylor), who disappeared years ago after playing the Bloody Mary game.He turns to his friend and priest/archaeologist Father O'Neal (Robert J. Locke) to help figure out his nightmares. As Father O'Neal delves deeper into the Bloody Mary legend, the more he realizes how close the legend is to him.Another cheaply done horror flick, with camera angles that makes me think the director wanted to be like Paul Greengrass with his incessant close-up shots and moving camera angles. While Greengrass succeeded, this director failed miserably. The story was lame, acting was even worse, and overall it's one of those movies you should avoid.
