Summoning Bloody Mary

Unfortunately, this film appears to have been a high school or college project. I usually rate horror movies especially independent horror movies higher than the average IMDb user. But this movie is troubling, especially because the director does not even list their name. Wise move on his or her part. Some of the acting isn't bad, some of it is over the top. The makeup is terrible! Reminds me of doing face masks with flour paste. Want to see? You can even see the hairline of Bloody Mary above the scare mask. The star who actually doesn't do a bad job acting, is given a pillow to make her look pregnant. Which shows during the yoga scene several times. I do not know how I struggled through this movie. And usually, I can draw I love for the characters and the direction because they have a love for the film. In this case I see neither. Good part is I see that they have a sequel coming out. LOL.

Everyone said not to watch it, so I watched it. Everyone said it's really bad, so I wanted to find out how bad it actually is.

The plot is thin. Some high school friends reunite for a retreat in an out-of-the-way hostel. The hostel owner seems really nervous, but nobody seems to notice. They have a campfire outside one night, and they tell ghost stories. The hostel owner tells the story of Mary Watts, a witch who you can summon by saying "Bloody Mary" three times while looking in a mirror.

The friends scoff but decide to try it for a laugh. Mary arrives and kills everyone. The end.

I've given it two stars because two of the young women in it were cute. Apart from that, the movie is really bad, don't watch it.

Please, if you value your time, move on. NOTHING OF ANY INTEREST HAPPENS IN THE FIRST 50 MINUTES (give or take a minute) OF THIS MOVIE. If you insist on watching it, please skip ahead at least 49 minutes. After 50 minutes (give or take a minute) you will be "treated (?) to some of the worst, most amateurish horror make-up short of young children on Halloween (but children have the advantage of being cure) and the same of poor acting that marred the first 50 minutes. In the words of Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun: "Nothing to See Here"; the difference being that that movie WAS entertaining, and here, there really IS nothing to see here..

The acting is bad. The makeup for Bloody Mary is just awful. Flour caked on her face with streaks of red paint. I kept wanting to yell at the screen for the woman who "managed " the hostel to Speak Louder and Don't Mumble!! Skip this one. Please.

Under the shirt of one of the girls. I think she was supposed to be pregnant? Or maybe has a weird throw pillow fetish her friends all pretended was normal? I am so confused by this decision. Also the makeup of "bloody Mary"... Was just another confusingly bad decision. Did they not know how to apply the makeup or did they have such a low budget they could only afford one of those Halloween monster makeup kits from Walmart? There were a lot of confusing elements in this movie, the story only being a minor one. That pillow...why?
