A homecoming-night dare turns into a runaway nightmare for a trio of high-school friends who unleash an evil spirit in this terrifying entry in the Urban Legends series from Pet Sematary director Mary... read more read more... Lambert. Everyone knows the legend of Bloody Mary, but when three high-school friends jokingly recite an ancient incantation for what they believe to be a harmless prank, a vengeful spirit is unleashed and their fate sealed. Later abducted by a group of intimidating high-school jocks, the trio is soon rescued, only to bear witness as their tormentors one by one fall prey to a deadly but unseen menace. Could it be their imagination or could the spirit of Bloody Mary truly have returned from the grave to seek vengeance for her death and make anyone who crosses her path suffer a horrible and agonizing death? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    It was freaky!

    This was a striaght to DVD release, a surprise considering how popular the first two were. A simple story with at times low budget effects but still enjoyable. It does go towards a more supernatural path from the first two. If you like the first two give this a whirl.

    Interesting idea (though cliche), but piss poor special effects. Watch and laugh.

    The movie was totally lame. The story is different from the original. This movie is sort of predictable, but still enjoyable.

    At least it is better than the previous one, a lot of it still doesn't make sense though

    Ok third installment of the horror trilogy. When a trio of high school friends chant an incantation to get revenge on a bunch of jocks, they unleash the spirit of a girl killed years ago by the same kinda dudes who goes looking for the modern jocks to kill in ways that, yes, are ... read morelike urban legends of the past. This has more of a fantastical element to it than the first two, with the "bad guy" being a ghost type figure instead of a human nutcase which sometimes works in its favour. Plus its not to over the top with the ghost shit, a decent, more darker script than the first two films means this is a more serious affair. This worked to an extent but personally, i like the fun elements of the other two films. Still, despite the odd bit of boredem creeping in and with an ending nearly ruined by shitty special effects, this is not a bad little horror film.

    Pretty bad heading into the Bloody Mary supernatural urban legend. However, I like Kate Mara so gave it a spin. It is what it is... a dirct to DVD horror rip off done so-so that was so absurd, I chuckled a few times.

    I love Urban Legends! They leave so much to your mind. So much for the soul. And they keep coming up with good ones. Bloody Mary is the second best of the series!
  • February 16, 2007
    With a lousy & derivative screenplay, mostly ridiculous performances, ultra-lame kills and not a single scene that could frighten, this series keeps getting shittier and shittier. The worst about it is that another straight-to-DVD sequel has been announced...

    To me, one of the biggest crimes a horror movie can commit is when it calls itself a sequel or part of a series, but has nothing to do with the original film. This movie does that. And to top it off, it also rips off scenes from several other movies, most famously the tanning bed... read more scene from one of the Final Destination installments. But despite that, this is actually fairly entertaining. I really like Kate Mara, and her appeal lends to the cheesiness of it all. This movie is pretty dumb, but actually kind of enjoyable.

Just a good enough horror film in spite of all of its flaws, saved by the strong performances of Tina Lifford and cutie patootie Kate Mara... Full Review

There's really nothing remarkable about Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, which is a shame because it's premise is one ripe with possibilities. Full Review

Though it's purportedly the third installment of the ongoing Urban Legends series, Bloody Mary feels more like a half-baked Ring ripoff than anything else. Full Review
