For me this took a really long time to getting going, it's until about 45 minutes before, it actually get going.A couple who seemed have broken before going Cabin in woods with friendsSo place it going will awkward for all their Friends, which to talk about 92 % of the movie, Which was very boring.They even wasted time of showing us, how bored they were, soon they play the Dead Mary game, well instead of the Bloody Mary , which was about hour into the movie.There one decent thing happen in this movie, I we don't even get to see the first attack.We only get the aftermath of the Friends dead who was killed in woods at night and then he has been turned into something.Soon the rest of the friend, wondering, who else as changed or hiding under the human skin.It's Wasn't really made clear what was stalking them, or hunting, sit here friends turn on one and other.It's trying to Evil dead wannabe with Bloody Mary twist , It didn't work at all.2 out of 10

It was on netflix so i didn't expect perfection (netflix being infamous for scraping the barrel of the film world) but my god i just didn't understand what was even happening it was like they had two ideas "dead mary" and "zombie apocalypse" and did a mashup so i didn't know it was vague all the characters where horrible it was boring not scary and it might just be me but the blood in the bathroom after that guy who got his face chewed played dead mary what was the necessity it will bore you if you see this film and think i'll just give it a go Don't not worth it !!!!! A good point hmmmm it leaves the ending open for theories on what happened might keep you interested but it just annoyed me !

Story, acting, editing, character development — all top notch.What makes this movie special and unique I can only describe as its texture. Whoever did the sound and the musical accompaniment was genial. I find DEAD MARY so creepy that I might watch it once a year, say near Halloween. Otherwise I store the movie well out of sight. I don't want the story entering my thoughts. Life is frightening enough.I'm a 47 year-old adult male, big, and don't scare easily. And no, I don't have a vested interest in this film. Just telling my honest opinion.I feel the same about DEAD SILENCE of 2007 — which is perhaps more sinister. Especially the end and the credits. Yikes! For both DEAD MARY and DEAD SILENCE, I believe these movies outdid themselves. Can a movie be too scary and dark? Yes.I allow myself to absorb into the movie and pay attention to everything. Both these movies actually frighten me more than I want. JEEPERS CREEPERS of 2001 terrifies me similarly. The end got me.Many people before me gave DEAD MARY low marks. I cannot understand why they did not find it adequately frightening.These critics wrote intelligently, but disliked DEAD MARY perhaps because it did not fulfill their expectations, or they regard it as a mere imitation of another franchise.I took this movie for what it was, without preconception. Like climbing on an amusement ride for the first time. Once that bar comes down and locks you in the seat, you are in for a ride, you have no control and you don't know what will happen next. DEAD MARY moved at a good pace. I watched the first 45 minutes over and over to better understand the sequence of events and how they relate to the supernatural malevolence.Enjoy.

First of all I must say that depending on which version (or region) of the movie you get, then the cover may or may not actually be properly depicting the contents of the movie. The DVD I got have a shot of the cabin with a hand sticking out of the ground on the cover, now that was proper to the movie. However, the cover that is used here on IMDb is the one that sort of sets up the movie for something more than it actually is.Regardless, then "Dead Mary" was actually a rather alright horror movie, sort of think a mixture between "Evil Dead", "The Exorcist" and any of the number teenage horror movies out there, then you have a basic idea of what you are in for in "Dead Mary".The story is about a group of young people coming together in the woods, in an old cabin, for the weekend. A weekend that is supposed to be about reunion, fun and partying. But fun and partying turns to dread and fear when the people start on playing the 'dead Mary' game, where they have to go alone into the bathroom, call out 'dead Mary' three times (can anyone say "Candyman" here?) and then apparently the spirit of a witch will appear. Something do shows up and the lives of the group are now in danger. One by one people start dying under strange circumstances, and people are not whom they used to be or appear to be. Who can they trust? But more importantly, will they survive the weekend?I found the story to actually be alright, despite it borrowing heavily from other horror movies. Still, the movie turned out to be interesting enough and provide good entertainment. The mood and setting of the movie was really good, and you had a sense of isolation and dread in the movie, which was nice, because it helped build up the tension.Personally, I found "Dead Mary" to be a step up from the usual teenage horror/slasher movies that have been flooding the horror scene for quite some years already. It was nice to see something aside from someone wronged coming back to wreck havoc and vengeance on the late teenagers who wronged him."Dead Mary" has a couple of great scare moments, but nothing that will make you jump out of the chair. What this movie is running on is the suspense and the way that it keeps you wondering whom is possessed and who isn't, who is telling the truth and who is lying. For that aspect, then the director, Robert Wilson, really did a great job.There was actually a decent amount of blood in the movie, which I found great. But this wasn't really a slasher or gore movie, so it was just an added bonus.The people they had on the cast list were great actors and actresses, and the people did great jobs with their characters. However, the ones that were carrying the movie were Jefferson Brown (playing Matt), Dominique Swain (playing Kim) and Steven McCarthy (playing Baker). They really put on great performances and made the movie come to life."Dead Mary" is a good horror movie that stays true to the old-school horror movies of the late 80's and early 90's, just with a pinch of "Evil Dead" thrown into the formula. If you enjoy horror movies and like to be kept in suspense where you are not fully sure about what is going on around you, then you should definitely check out "Dead Mary". Just remember to leave the lights on in your bathroom...
