Artivels Undescribable Perfection
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Riders-In-The-Sky Very strange movie, it seems almost an horror (or funny?) version of "Waiting for Godot", the Beckett's play. So in the first part of the movie there's nothing of interest, while they are waiting for Ted there are only stupid discussions about couple relationships: your boy makes love with x, your girl with y, I makes love with everybody.. All together are friends and lovers but in the wrong beds.Then the game begins, and the game is "Bloody Mary" or, for copyright and other reasons, "Dead Mary". But don't expect something special, a candle that shuts off, a night walking alone in the forest... the first dead.. who is the killer? It doesn't seem so important, no character seems particularly enjoyable or disliked. Uh, the dead boy is a zombie? It seems funny... There is also a mysterious shed in the scene, you hope, in vain, for something interesting... while everybody are waiting for Ted..Other murders, you could bet on the next, other accusations of betrayal, it seems the only interest of the group. Who is possessed? One, two, everyone? Some clue could help and not.. in the meantime everybody are waiting for Ted... The cars don't work, no people in the surroundings, somebody start to searching for help but you'll find them always on the same place. And everybody are waiting for Ted...The end... have you understood anything? Probably not. The possible hypothesis are always the same and every clue turns out useless. You can always meditate waiting for Ted...
loomis78-815-989034 A group of late twenty-something friends meet at a cabin for a long weekend of reliving old times. These boring friends talk and talk for hours about their personal baggage and who slept with whom almost to the point you forget you're watching a horror film, or are supposed to be. Eventually they play the "say Dead Mary in the mirror" game with a candle with the idea that the spirit of the dead witch will appear. Instead the spirit possesses one of them but no one including the audience who it is. Borrowing heavily from John Carpenter's "The Thing", minus the style and suspense, the characters start to distrust one another. This movie had potential to be a minor success but the lack of any action for such a long period of time sinks it fast. There is a few nice moments, like when the thing…I mean a character, reveals herself to another character in a shack in the woods. There isn't much gore to speak of and what little there is unconvincing. The unknown cast is good but the movie needed to shift gears and actually get scary for it to work and it just doesn't.
atinder 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
katrine1313 This movie was a disappointment on several different levels. As we first start in it's obviously going to be yet another horror movie about beastly and possibly a couple of decent young people heading out to do stupid things in the woods and on that note it played through.Secondly, the title made us believe that it was somehow going to be yet another urban legend movie, this time based on the "Bloody Mary" theme. It did get to that as the young people went into the bathroom one by one and tried to invoke "Dead Mary". What I didn't understand was the commentary by other characters that they had done this before, seen her and it was ten shades of awful. Of course, that didn't stop them from mocking it and doing it again. However, this is never really revisited. No one goes back to say what happened before, what "Mary" does or how to stop her. Nor do we really even see "Mary" again.This event and the subsequent "horror" plots that follow have taken us 40 minutes into the movie. This is where the movie leaves the urban legend theme and starts trying, very badly, to emulate "The Living Dead" with evil demons now possessing (or maybe already possessing) various characters who get killed and come to life and taunt the others until they get wise and just burn the zombie/demons.It's hard to get the idea that these possessions are the result of Mary's invocation due to the fact that there are hints that the events were starting to happen before the film's events take place. Where is Ted for crying out loud? They asked it through 3/4 of the movie. He never shows up leading us to believe he met his demise before the opening credits but we never find out. The gas station and the woods are deserted of any other vacation goers which seems strange to the folk about 1/2 through the film. This also leads the audience to think that the events started before the youngsters did their "Mary" invocation.Forty minutes into the film, the horror action starts but it's disorganized, more gore than horror and doesn't follow any connected idea. There are too many ideas that aren't followed through, too many plots with no beginning and no end and the character development doesn't really lead anyone to care whether any of them live or not. Although it's my opinion, I wouldn't recommend this film.
