The not so Bloody Mary

A few days ago i watched the film  Bloody Mary 2006 directed by Richard Valentine. The opening of the film begins with screaming noises coming from a psychiatric hospital, creating an unwelcoming, haunting atmosphere. It is not a scary film, however quite entertaining, and you could say its almost "soooo-bad-its-good." The film flips to the first scene of 5 young nurses who should be really doing something better with their time, (like caring for the patients), rather than staring down an underground shaft, waiting for their naked friend to have her eyes gorged out, which seems to be the theme that runs through the whole film. Mary seems to have an insatiable appetite for eyeballs, but the film never quite states why, or what she plans to do with them. The staff at the psychiatric hospital are stranger than the patients, and only seem to work minimum hours, hence why the rest keep running around in tunnels, talking to a broken mirror.
The fake sister of one of the victims turns up, and involves the use of the most useless cop on the planet, to help with the search, but is as much use, as Mary's collection of jarred eyeballs.  Oh and did i happen to mention, Mary is an ex patient of the psychiatric hospital in the 1970s, who was obsessed by her reflection. She escaped into the tunnels ad starved to death, only to return in vengeful-ghost form and hang out with the random creepy prisoner whose purpose is never actually made clear.

I would like to say that there is a lot of blood and gore in this movie, but what there was cleaned up quicker than Mary was ono her next victim, with no one seeming to notice that anything was going on. So basically, other than unrealistic characters following a very lame plot, the film is watchable, (just).

Ill keep you in suspense as to what happens next, but don't blame me if your left feeling bitterly disappointed, that Mary did not murder the lot. (This would be a much more, pleasurable ending for me, incase they ever crop up in another film).
