Bloody Mary 3D

Right, well the movie had literally just started, and I was ready to turn it off. Director starts with a full blown girl on girl sex scene. Yeah, I was sitting down to watch a horror movie, not a pornographic movie. But I opted to give the movie a fair chance and not turn it off within the first three minutes of its runtime.

Of course I had not heard about this particular movie prior to stumbling upon it here in 2024 and opting to watch it. But of course I am familiar with the urban legend that is "Bloody Mary", so I figured I would be in for something like that. And it was sort of that, except it was all watered down by amateurish movie making and sleazed up by pointless nudity.

Was was up with the music video segment about 15 minutes into the movie? Talk about a pointless filler running for about three minutes, as it didn't further the storyline or narrative one bit.

The acting performances in the movie were pretty wooden and amateurish. It was a cast ensemble where I was only familiar with Brinke Stevens and Shawn C. Phillips, which aren't exactly A-listers. Usually I do enjoy watching unfamiliar and new talents on the screen when I sit down to watch a movie, but the acting performances in "Bloody Mary 3D" were just draining the overall enjoyment from the movie.

"Bloody Mary 3D" is dumbed down significantly by a pointless and excessive amount of nudity that serves the narrative no purpose. It felt nothing more than an excuse for writer Keith Parker and director Charlie Vaughn to show off an abundance of female nudity.

I guess I should have taken notice of the staggering 2.2 rating that "Bloody Mary 3D" had managed to snag here on IMDb, at the time I sat down to watch it.

If you enjoy horror movies, like I do, you need stay well clear of "Bloody Mary 3D". Some of us suffered through this dumpster fire of a movie, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of director Charlie Vaughn's 2011 movie "Bloody Mary 3D" lands on a one out of ten stars. This movie was truly and utterly abysmal.

The plot isn't scary at all.

Horrible is only the amateurish low quality of sound, acting, singing and picture. :-)

As reviews have pointed out, this film opens in the year 1904, as two women Mary Worth (Veronica Ricci) and a another woman get down to some steamy lengthy explicit scene. The scene quickly follows after them being interrupted by Mary's husband, who grabs a knife and punishes them for their sins. He wastes no time in doing so. And as this occurs, we get a sense to how low budget the kills and lack of effort shown will be.

Described as a horror film but it's too low budget and terribly acted that it's hard to take serious. The kills are and it's reactions are obvious here.

Most of the movie takes place at a music studio for a pop star filming a music video. There are a bunch of one dimensional characters coming along as each one end up getting killer (by silly looking stabs) by Mary. A lot of talking with no substance as the scenes are simply there to pass time.

There are no real thrills, no suspense and nothing exactly memorable happens. What is silly is how none of the characters weren't able to simply just kill or attack Mary. She would occasionally appear through the mirrors (urban tale of saying "Bloody Mary" three times) and randomly pop up, but once she is there, no one did anything to her. She simply had a knife. In the end it's simply a weak low budget film.

There are approximately 171,476 words in the english language. None of them, and I mean NONE of them combined into sentences and paragraphs could articulate how deeply and passionately I hate this garbage. Why was this made? It is beyond laughably bad. It was like watching a car accident in slow motion, it was slow with no real pacing, and I couldn't look away.

How to begin a horror film? A gratuitously lengthy steamy session of naked lesbian sex in 1904? When hubby comes home unexpectedly and catches wifey at it...how many redblooded males have fantasised about this sort of thing, especially with a stunningly attractive blonde and redhead? But not this guy, instead of joining in, he murders them both. Fast forward to the present day, and the plot is revealed. This is actually a well-known urban legend, that of Bloody Mary. Call her name when you stand in front of the mirror, and if you give the wrong reaction when she appears, it's curtains.

It's also very silly, but if you don't mind a bit of blood, the naked Mary is looking remarkably fit considering she's been dead for over a century. What else is there to recommend it? Well, the soundtrack is not bad, nor are some of the one-liners, like: "We needed something quick and cheap; for some reason I thought of you".
