Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Woodyanders Beautiful bisexual artist Mary (a fine and touching performance by the fetching Cristina Ferrare) suffers from a strange disease that compels her to murder people for their blood. Beach bum Ben Ryder (a likeable portrayal by David Young) and sultry art dealer Greta (slender brunette Helena Rosa) both fall under Mary's deadly seductive spell. Director Juan Lopez Moctezuma relates the absorbing story at a deliberate pace, ably crafts a haunting melancholy atmosphere, delivers a handy helping of bloody violence, and makes nice use of the breathtaking Mexican countryside. Malcolm Marmorstein's compact script offers a nifty spin on the vampire concept as well as presents the main character as a lonely and tormented tragic figure that the viewer feels sorry for. The lovely Ferrare not only brings a soulful sadness to her role, but also bares her sumptuous body a few times. John Carradine has a small, but memorable role as Mary's deranged estranged father. Both Miguel Garzon's pretty cinematography and Tom Bahler's harmonic score are up to par. Recommended viewing for fans of more thoughtful and unusual fright fare.
Gymnopedies I just love these offbeat vampire flicks. I decided to check this out on the spur of the moment last night and I didn't regret it. It is based around female artist who happens to be a vampire - played seductively by the stunning Cristina Ferrare. It is not your traditional vampire flick in the sense that this one is about vampirism as a disease like George Romero's 'Martin' - only 'Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary' predates it by three years. You always feel that Mary doesn't like to consume blood but it is her illness that keeps her doing so, she even apologized to her victim before killing her. You always feel sympathetic for her, like you want to protect her. It is easy to see where George Romero got his inspiration from. There was one particular scene where Mary was in a Mall, where she picked up this woman and she was just telling her how lonely she was, a complete stranger! I don't think I have ever seen such a horror film where the protagonist was so vulnerable, so lonely, except in 'Martin', obviously. There are beautiful scenes of beaches, villas and museums that never fails to lure the viewers interest. Excellent character study where the protagonist has a disease to drink blood.
Maciste_Brother MARY, MARY, BLOODY MARY is an OK time killer. It has a uniformly attractive cast, the action is rarely dull. There are a lot of killings. And the production values are not bad. But in the end, it plays like a standard TV episode from the 1970s with some nudity thrown in. The film is the end product of an "author" trying to make a purely commercial film. There's very little depth here and the film spends too much time with chases and action scenes. Except for the scene on the beach with the old man, MMBM is almost devoid of any scares or suspense or dread. The director has very little understanding of the horror genre.It's watchable even though it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
Joseph P. Ulibas Mary, Mary is a female vampire who happens to enjoy the company of both sexes. Unlike the highly superior Female Vampire, this movie fails on both levels. Cheap budget and bad costuming seemingly fits with this forgettable film. What angers me the most about this movie was that it had a great premise, but the film-makers either chickened out or didn't know how to handle the material. The producers should have given this project to a person who knows how to handle such material (i.e. Jesus Franco or Jean Rollin). However, there was one nice scene that I really enjoyed that occurred between Mary and her "friend". Hey, I got my money's worth from the rental. My only complaint is that it could have been a great film if the producers hired someone who knows how to flesh out this type of material. Weak Female Vampire clone is a failure, but its..Worth a look.
