Review of Dead Mary (2007) by Milana I — 02 Mar 2013

I thoroughly enjoyed Dead Mary--probably more than I should have--with its derivative blend of Blood Mary urban legends ("the lame version" of the legend as the film proclaims without offering any difference whatsoever) and The Evil Dead.

A typical slasher set-up of friends at a cabin in the woods soon takes on supernatural elements as murdered friends come back to tauntingly demonic life. Who is alive and who is the undead posing as the living? The film also tries to develop a paranoid component like Carpenter's The Thing or Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

All in all, the film is completely unoriginal crap, but it is enjoyable crap nonetheless for those who constantly crave new horror films.
