Review of Dead Mary

Dead Mary (2007 Video)
4/10
Evil Dead meets The Big Chill
20 December 2007
Dead Mary is a decent film if you're looking for Drama/Horror, with a heavy emphasis on the drama. I believe where the movie fails, is in it's attempt to sell the audience a touching story about adult relationships, then trying to execute horror. The film begins well, and sets up what could be a creepy tale about messing with the dead, yet by the time they switch gears into scare tactics, it falls on it's face. It is not even remotely scary, in fact we see very little of what the (Monster) is supposed to be... On the bright side, it is very well acted by a group of no-name actors. The cinematography looks great, and could have easily made this an awesome horror film, but in the end, we are left empty and a bit confused. If you're on a date with someone who is grossed out by blood and gore, yet they want to watch a horror movie, this might work out for you. If you are a hardcore horror nut, keep away and go watch The Evil Dead again...
