Urban Legends Bloody Mary DVD Report

Urban Legends Bloody Mary hits all the marks a good horror movie is supposed to hit. Director Mary Lambert is an experienced hand (Pet Sematary and some Tales From The Crypt) and leads Kate Mara and Robert Vito as fraternal twins Samantha and David Owens give a good, believable performance as two teens caught in a scary mystery about what happened to a girl their age some thirty years ago.

Samantha and her friends are drugged and taken to a secluded place by some football players as revenge for an article she wrote for the school newspaper. This is what happened to Mary Banner (aka Bloody Mary) and her friends thirty years before so Mary’s spirit decides to get even with the people who tried to hurt Samantha.

The reason Urban Legends Bloody Mary works is that a lot of the bad guys involved in Samanthas abduction have a by-the-book urban legend death such as deep-frying in a tanning bed, a spider laying its eggs in you and the baby spiders hatching the next day right out of your body, the vending machine that will fall over you if you stick your hand in it, and a couple of other urban myths.

I didn't even try to work out who the killer was until the last 20 minutes, which I did instantly, but I was engrossed in the movie! I liked it, a lot, I found myself pretty glued to it, which makes a differance, as many more expensive to make movies have bored me, overall I'd say watch it!
