Mary

A very disappointing movie, considering the cast. The only thing special about "Mary" is that it is set on a sail boat. Other than that it ticks all the boxes of your standard ghost movie that you've seen a hundred times before: people behaving strangely, jump scares, a kid drawing scary pictures, pointless fake-outs in the form of dream sequences ... you can name every single overused ghost movie trope ... it's in here. Any creativity is completely absent.

The biggest mistake that the movie makes, though, is to put everything in a overarching narrative with a police interrogation that tells you right off the bat who makes it and who doesn't, evaporating every last bit of suspense that "Mary" could have created.

What's left are good performances by a good cast and decent cinematography, none of which save this movie from complete mediocrity.

Even Nicolas "I will take any acting job for money" Cage passed this one. That should say enough. The movie is boring and takes too long building up the characters and story. And when it finally should take off, it never really does. It's not scary, not exciting and no fun. Calling this "horror" is a complete joke.

It's one of those movies you'll go and check on IMDb to see the ratings, see 1 star, OMG! Cringe. Keep scrolling and find allot of negitive reviews, but you'll see the odd one or two that say it's a good or average movie, I go with the latter, I thought the acting was above board and the idea and setting were good, as is the background of the ship in question, it touches on the Bermuda triangle and such, it's not an amazing film, and it won't win any awards, but its one that'll Keep your attention, just go into it with an open mind and you'll enjoy it!!

What on earth is Gary Oldman doing in this very low budget and formulaic ghost story? Apart from a few cheap jump scares this is very slow and boring. It has been done better loads of times before and has very little originality.

Gary Oldman what ya doing? I watched this because of you.
