Ghost Killers vs. Bloody Mary

I don't know why users rated IMDB so badly, the film is intentionally bad, trash film, that makes it funny, the fact that nothing makes sense and everything is exaggerated.

Note 10, the film is very funny and I had a lot of fun watching it.

Those who are giving it a poor rating probably don't understand this movie was made to be bad. The bad acting, the overreacting, the literal references to other movies, the school clichés, the bad jokes... It's all on purpose, and it's hilarious once you accept it.

These presenters are very funny on TV here in Brazil, but in the movies they do not convince.

This film has a weak plot, is too bloody and the jokes are weak. I do not recommend.

I really like brazilian cinema and I felt so happy that after many years we would have a horror movie, a genre that is very rare in our productions which is kind of strange because we are forced to work under very strict budgets. This movie, despite the very bad acting because the main cast are not composed by actors but stand up comedians, is a movie empty of meaning, is just the horror by itself. Crude and disgusting scenes without a good reasoning, there are no metaphores, there are no hidden messages, there are no reflections about anything. Is just a movie about showing gore and disgusting scenes with a political incorrect joke here and there, many very rooted on brazilian culture or based on main cast personal struggles against media also political bias. If you live abroad it very unlikely that you will understand or find it funny on those jokes without a proper context. Assuming that you are fond of this kind of film, go ahead. If you are a fan of good horror movies, stay away. It is a waste of time. And despite the english title, do not get fooled, it is not a movie about Bloody Mary, it is about a popular child's story from a "blond girl that haunts school's restrooms" in Brazil. It is a urban legend somewhat based on the american myth, but it is not the story per se.

After having read some fairly bad reviews about this 2018 movie titled "Exterminadores do Além Contra a Loira do Banheiro" (aka "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary") then I must admit that I wasn't particularly hopeful for this movie. But still, the movie's cover was interesting and the title was alluring. Plus the facts that this was a horror comedy and a movie that I hadn't already seen weighed heavier than the bad reviews. So I ended up sitting down to watch it.

And color me impressed. Forget about the bad reviews, because "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" is an entertaining and funny movie, very much in the same style such as "Shaun of the Dead" and "Lesbian Vampire Killers". I have to say that I was very surprised with the outcome of director Fabrício Bittar's movie. And it was a very positive surprise.

The storyline was enjoyable, and for a horror comedy such as this, then I will say that writers Fabrício Bittar, Andre Catarinacho and Danilo Gentili definitely managed to come up with something enjoyable, entertaining and unique enough to prove well-worth watching.

The movie had lots and lots of blood and gore in it, and that was definitely something that I enjoyed, so for a seasoned gorehound such as myself, I was definitely content with "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary". And the special effects were also rather good, which just added to the overall enjoyment.

Now, I haven't watched a whole lot of Portuguese movies, so I wasn't familiar with the casted actors and actresses that performed in the movie. But I will say that they definitely had a good ensemble of performers put together for the movie.

I found "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" to be a good mixture of comedy and horror, with enough elements of both genres to make for a very wholehearted movie.

My rating of "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary" lands on a seven out of ten stars. If you enjoy horror comedies in the likes of "Lesbian Vampire Killers" or "Shaun of the Dead", then you definitely should sit down to watch "Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary". Don't let the language discourage you, because this movie is definitely well-worth a watch.
