Review of Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) by Viktor N — 22 Aug 2011

This is another movie that really didn't need the tedious connection to a film series it has very little to do. Apparently, this is a way for the studio to make money on a movie they don't think will by riding on the popularity of a series (because Urban Legend spawned such GREAT box office successes.

..). This movie is not connected with the original Urban Legend at all, and it seems almost stupid to connect the two films. That said, this movie is better than the first sequel and lives up to the original.

This movie has some very interesting deaths that often appear to be "death" from Final Destination deciding to shine Urban Legend based deaths on a group of kids that did something pretty horrible.

That horrible thing is really not established very well. I think we are supposed to think rape, but far be it from me to figure it out. If you get past that, assume they raped the girls, and believe that a vengeful spirit of a previously killed girl, this movie will actually come off as a pretty good movie.

Some of the greatest effects in the series litter the death scenes (the arm....ech!). This movie is pretty good, but it does have a somewhat crap story and a really crap ending. Overall, this movie has some of the best deaths in the series and can actually get pretty tension-y and almost scary.

I recommend this movie to people that like ghost killers or just horror movie in general (it's worth it for the arm and the spiders....).
