CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

John Smovie Himdab (jshphysicist) 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.

zfiany Boring, Boring, Boring. Nothing scary, no entertaining idea, no sense of expectation for anything to happen, and the characters were not remarkable at all. It's a silly movie that has no single element of attraction whatsoever. Even the idea of mistrust between the characters after they got possessed by the evil spirit, has already been used in much better way in "the thing". Not to mention that the evil spirit that possesses them is not known at all. We don't know what's the original shape of this evil thing, where did it come from and what is the purpose of its possession of their bodies!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the link between the game of bloody mary and what happens next is just in total vain because there is no connection between the story of bloody mary and what happens next. Probably if the idea of the bloody mary story was invested to the end, the movie would have ended to be pretty much better than the current one.To describe it in few words: it's just like clouds in the coffee.

lionheartj I see people complaining about this movie being lame because its about a stupid game and they're wrong...The Demons were already at the cabin before they ever played the game! Ted was missing the whole movie (Guessing dead), Gas station was empty in the very beginning (all probably dead), No other vacationers in the area (Also probably dead)... and what eve said at the end, "What would you do if you two were the only ones left?" (or something like that) which hinted at the demons attacks not being an isolated incident and perhaps global.So yeah, the demons would have been there even if they never played the Dead mary game.

soulfuljim1 I think this movie is special in that it removes all of the "typicals" of your average horror movie. It does this a little too much, however, when the most focused on (and almost only likable) character is killed first in the film. The focus then turns to the character who is repeatedly (from the very beginning of the film) pointed as being a very unlikeable one. Well, it's between her and another character who is barely in the film. I know this sounds a little strange -and it is awkward to watch, but it IS original and there might be SOMETHING to it. The characters line of reasoning at times also take some giant leaps from one place to the next without explaining anything to the audience about how they came to their conclusions. There doesn't seem to have been very much thought involved here. This also is a little strange and loses the interest of the audience.There is not much more to say about the film. The acting was very good; filming seemed excellent to me, and although there were attractive people in the film, it was not a horror movie built around it. The prize this movie gets from me is subtle originality. The plot is an old one, but the way it is unfolded before us is new. This film could have been fixed very easily and made into the best horror film I think we've seen in a long time. It's too bad it was probably a work that was rushed.
