Bloody Mallory

It's about a goverment-run team - beautiful leader Mallory, explosives expert and drag queen Vena Cava, and mute telepath Talking Tina - who fight evil, and have to go rescue the Pope when he is kidnapped by the forces of darkness. If you've seen Prophecy, or read the comic Preacher (or even waded through Paradise Lost), you'll immediately be familiar with the bad-angel storyline.

Amongst what could have just been a straightforward adventure in the Buffy/Xena mould, we get interesting back-story on Mallory's dead demon husband, who is a neat addition and really adds to the character as well as to the story.. Vena Cava is fabulous, and steals several scenes.. and even Talking Tina (who, as a child, should be totally annoying) gets plenty of laughs with her abilities to possess other people and animals. In fact, the scenes with the black cat, the bat and the rat got some of the biggest laughs of all. Also, the dialogue is priceless - comic quips, jokes about nuns, a liberal dose of swearing (which is actually very funny), hilarious attacks on Catholic religion and dogma, and even some personality for the bad guys.

It's brilliant Demon-kicking stuff, from the original opening titles to the end-credits sketch, and I thoroughly recommend it. It doesn't pretend to be anything else, and I can't understand why the IMDB scores aren't higher - but I know Mallory would have two words for you.

I just recently viewed Bloody Mallory on DVD and really enjoyed it! I wasn't expecting any Oscar-winning performances from the actors, and I already had an idea that the plot might be a little hokey, so I wasn't expecting too much. But I was pleasantly surprised - for a B-movie, it really wasn't too bad! It's fun, fast-paced, and funny (Vena Cava was a trip), although it still wasn't quite up to the caliber of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie or TV show).

I expected a lot more gore in the movie than there actually was, but there were still a few nasty spots in it. The visual effects were a little cheesy, but the make-up (demons, vampires, etc) was pretty good. Surprisingly, there was no nudity in it at all (d*mmit)! However, I have to take my hat off to them for taking that route - a lot of B-movie producers would do it in a heartbeat. Olivia Bonamy was lookin' pretty hot too - she could give Sarah Michelle Gellar a run for her money!

I wouldn't recommend viewing this movie with small children (there are some rough spots and language in it to make up for the nudity), or anyone who is spiritually sensitive because of the story line involving the pope, and other points of the story I won't go into. The actors seemed like they were there to have fun, and didn't try to make the movie into more than it was. I think that also helped make the movie a success with me.

If you can find a copy of it, I would recommend this movie to any horror/action film buff - especially Buffy fans. I know, it's not Buffy, but it's fun to make comparisons anyway. You'd have to watch it in subtitles, but it's well worth it!

If you like over-the-top horror farces, this may be your movie! The acting and direction are surprisingly good. If you take your Buffy genre too seriously, you'll hate it.

A female agent (Bloody Mallory), from a secret French ministry charged with monitoring evil supernatural beings (mais bien sûr) heads off in her accessorized pink Hearse to rescue the Pope from flesh-eating ghoul kidnappers. She is joined by her sidekicks, a "flawless" foul-mouthed American transvestite (Vena Cava) and a telepathic mute girl (Talking Tina) in an action-packed romp in the underworld.

If you follow French comedy farces, like the Eric and Ramzy films, you know that the best part is finding all of the "homages" to other movies and popular culture. These include the Exorcist, Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Indiana Jones, Duran Duran, The Three Stooges and many more (in both French and English).

Probably not. But while I was watching this movie, I was thinking that she may be just that. She has an incredibly beautiful face (she reminded me a bit of Kristy Swanson, the original "Buffy" - coincidence?), a magnificent, toned, fit body, lovely red hair, a hip hairstyle, an irreverent attitude, and she handles her fight scenes competently. She's far and away the best reason to see "Bloody Mallory" - the rest is sometimes fun but mostly silly stuff. The mythology presented in this movie is actually quite interesting, but the script seems to be inventing and changing its rules as it goes along, and it often gets overly silly (ghouls that get into karate fights, talking bats, etc.). The film also suffers from an overuse of CGI, and the monster effects are rather cheesy. It all ends with the setup for a sequel, but so far one has not materialized and chances are it never will.

The new Pope is kidnapped and caught up by ominous demon and Bloody Mallory(a warrior hunter woman likeness to Van Helsing) is contracted by Lady Valentine(Valentina Vargas)to rescue him. She along with a thin and giant drag queen,a transformer telepathic and a bodyguard priest(Adria Collado) track down clues the kidnapper,the evil forces .They will confront against supernatural beings and bizarre creature as vampires, demons and zombies

The picture mingles terror action with humor and irony .It's a B series entertainment with abundant sensationalistic scenes and with loads of blood and gore as when fight against weird living things with heads and limbs sliced off here and there and everywhere while other parts of body are slit open or blasted apart.The film packs a real sense of surprise and horror moments and wind up and bombastic final confrontation.While the look is suitable atmospheric and creepy the plot stretches plausibility to the end. Special effects are nice ,they have been made by make up and computer generator. The motion picture is regularly directed by Julian Magnat. the flick will like to horror cinema enthusiastic and gore fans. Rating : Below average.
