Resurrection Mary

Very Good movie for these newcomers. Ryan did an excellent job with a new version of Resurrection Mary, more of a drama than your basic same old slasher movie.

A film student with a low budget, the screenplay was very well written,the directing was great and the actors/actresses did a fine job.

There is a lot of potential from this group of filmmakers and crew. We will be looking anxiously forward to more fine pieces of work from this team.

Great Job-Resurrection Mary Team!!!!

If you are looking for an effects-driven, star-powered blockbuster, then this film will disappoint. It is, however, quite good in terms of being a classic ghost story. The actual legend pertaining to the Resurrection Mary folklore from Chicago is secondary to the fictionalized tale presented as the plot in this film. The cynic in me suspects that the famous legend was incorporated into the script and the title for marketing purposes. I worried that the fictitious script would be slanderous, or do a disservice to a young woman who died tragically, but the film was done well. That Kristin Herrera is also a pretty strikingly FINE-lookin' lady!

Resurrection Mary is pegged as a romantic thriller.

Let me immediately clarify that it isn't, its a horror and a poor attempt at one at that.

Loosely and teased to be based on the bloody mary mythology combined with the iconic white lady a man is tormented by this apparition and he may need to make the ultimate sacrifice to save his other half.

Sadly the story makes very little sense and at no point does it even go anywhere.

It all looks and sounds the part but the lead manages one pained facial expression for the entire film and only the ghost stands out as competent.

Dull, lifeless, jumbled mess of a film.

The Good:

Decent antagonist

Surprisingly good soundtrack

The Bad:

Joe Estevez

I'm not such a great fan of the thriller genre but somehow ended up watching this movie.

The first thing that hit me was how bad the acting was. All of the performances were lackluster and there are a few movies I've seen with worse performances than this.

The storyline is supposed to be based on one of the greatest ghost stories in the US but the movie has nothing to show for it. Storyline is very weak with a plot that could have been so much more if some kind of effort had been put in.

Overall, best avoided. I wish I could have.

You'd think that I could keep the different versions of RM straight in my head, but a "certain on-line service that stream videos like this one" has been mixing up the images and the production years. Anyway, this version is not nearly as bad as the other version, which has Mr. Estevez in it (in case you need to be able to distinguish between the two). So the rule is, "If RM has a Kirkland in it, it's watchable. If it has an Estevez in it, it isn't." I hope this helps horror film fans everywhere.

Other than that, I'll just point out that it's a ghost story with some average carnage in it and kind of a silly story.

Enjoy! Don't thank me now.
