Okay, so lots of people didn't enjoy this movie and have complained and complained about there being NO DEAD MARY in it. Well, if any of those people actually sat through the movie and paid attention to it, they would realize that Dead Mary IS the reason these young adults are killing each other. She may not make an appearance in the movie, but she is what is possessing these people. How many people actually complain about "THE EVIL DEAD" not having any evil dead ghouls appearing in the film? The point is, and this applies to both films, that these people are being possessed by the evil spirits or demons. Speaking of The Evil Dead, this film reminded me a lot of it and I enjoyed it very much. There hasn't been very many really good horror movies released lately and I found this one to be highly overlooked and unappreciated. It is well worth viewing.
A group of friends get together for a weekend reunion at a small place in the woods. After catching up on each others lives (which mostly involves conversations about each others' love affairs), they all sit around a living room area drinking and talking. Then one of them says, "let's play Dead Mary." "Dead Mary? I thought it was 'Bloody Mary'?" another replies. So then the storyline is set as one by one they take a candle into the bathroom, close the door and lock it, turn out the lights, and look into the mirror and say aloud...Dead Mary three times.
Sometime in the middle of the night, one of them becomes possessed and the killings begin. You don't always know who is possessed and who isn't, but neither do they. They begin to accuse each other and fight amongst themselves. This goes on throughout the movie as one by one the group becomes smaller and smaller. There is a genuinely creepy feel to the film, like I said, much like The Evil Dead. The actors are better than expected and play out their roles very nicely.
Dead Mary is a horror film worth the rental and possibly worth buying, depending on how well you like it. Don't believe all the negative remarks about this film. I think people just didn't pay much attention when no Dead Mary didn't appear in the film and some of them act like they didn't understand that these people were being possessed by Dead Mary. Keep an open mind when viewing this film and pay attention to details. I think you will really appreciate the effort and enjoy this movie for what it is. It's about possession, not a ghoulish creature. I give it a 7 out of 10. Give it a shot!
