Resurrection Mary

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.

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!!!!

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.

(2007) Resurrection Mary HORROR

Edited, co- written and directed by Sean Michael Beyer, this straight to rental low budget film is another type of film that uses an "urban legend" turning it into a film (at least that's what it appeared to look like when I watched it) which has an interesting premise, but ends with a laughable convoluted ending that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway at the start of the film the film shows how the urban legend come about until the real movie starts with Jeff (Kevin G. Schmidt) a teenager looking for someone to take to a dance, his parents were dead on an automobile accident happened many years ago and now lives his grandmother played by Sally Kellerman. Upon driving home one night meets up with an unknown teenage girl who appears to be the same age as him, she's played by Pamela Noble as Mary hence the title. And after a few dances, and meetings other teenagers who are closest to him are apparently being killed off, with the only thing they all have in common is that they some somehow linked to him and the police badgering him for a confession, even though they have no proof of his whereabouts or have any DNA that he is the one that is doing all the killings. As I've mention, the movie was okay since the budget constraints really shows and was only a minor impact, and was involving until the very end of the film which asks more questions than viewers got any answers.
